Where to now for Tszyu?

[moochi]

Why? Tszyu was the Champion. Hatton only held the WBU (who?) belt

champion yes, but unless it was a rematch not in the U.K, and I can't see hatton's camp accepting this........

[NAB]

Why again? This is/should be standard stuff! If I am the champion, I am confident but that does not mean I am betting my entire net assets on it! It seems very logical that every Champion vs challenger fight would have a rematch clause.

If the money was EXCELLENT and being offered by the challengers camp then I could half fathom no rematch clause.

Tszyu had everything to loose. Hatton had nothing to loose

Having followed Tszyu for over 10 years, I can't remember him having rematch clauses too often, if ever.

Kostya should retire. He looked really old and slow in this fight, not the KT I knew.

mate, just imagine if it was the same fight, but held in australia or in the states........everyone knows that hatton would have been docked many points or perhaps even DQ'd......

he played it dirty with the help of the ref and this was just enough to unsettle the composure of Kostya.

Maybe, just maybe, Tszyu could do like Castillo and go the ***** route. There's enough blatant **** in that fight to get it ruled a no contest. Hatton nodding to ref for a break when he couldn't hit Kostya should be more than enough.

At least Tszyu would have a legitimate case.

Tszyu is not like that..........even though he would have a case........

he is such a gentleman and a true role model for the sport........

he knows as well as we do, that the ref and hatton were a bit over the edge, but he still didn't even mention it......

either way, this just can't happen over and over again in such a sport....

There is no way that Kostya would do that. Its not his style. He took the defeat like a man and a true gentleman. He is a credit to boxing and Hatton deserved the win.

You beat me to the punch on this one! 1 rep point goes to you

Castillo was gracious in defeat the night of the fight, too. I would never have thought that the warrior Castillo would have done that, either. I don't think Tszyu would, though.

Part of me has to wonder if the reason that Tszyu didn't come out for the 12th was the constant, blatant, unwarned fouling in Hatton's back yard. Still no excude to quit on the stool, though.

just another thing bro, i firmly believe that the ref with chico - castillo simply was incompetent and made a mistake.......i don't really believe that it was bias...but simpy incompetence at its worst...

with hatton vs tszyu, i don't think it was incompetence at all but rather .....you say it!
