Once, maybe twice he was a little dizzy but he just clinched Tszyu, walked him to the ropes and when he recuperated, just resumed his assault on KT.

He did surprise me with his ability to absorb those right hands to his gourd.

During the ring walk he looked drowsy and sleepy as hell he had the look of a fighter who did not wanna be there. I respect kostya for not making any excuse even when he knew he was sleepy as hell even when the AL asked him do you think the 2 am time start effected you? kostya refused to make excuses.

But I also give credit to hatton for fighting the right fight the RUIZ clinch and punch HATTON fought a smart fight fight in close I always knew that was the only way to contain that right hand since kostya is one dimensional and needs his straight punches to win he rarely throws hooks. Ricky took his size advantage to his advantage by weighing his 160 pound body down on kostyas body at all times and always locking kostyas right he held that right hand like life and death.

Like I said before in order to beat a puncher is to Show you do not fear there power and Hatton got rocked but he showed he was not scared. I hope to see Hatton in the states soon he even said it at the end of the interview SEE ME IN THE STATES!

I disagree. When I saw Tszyu walk out I said to myself this guy looks like a machine tonight. You said tired? He looked like he was ready to kill someone. He had that all business-focused look on his face.

You said Hatton used the Ruiz stuff but thats how Tszyu always fights. He always grabs, punches in clinches, punches on breaks, hits behind the head, and roughs guys up. Thats how he wears people down. Did you see how he fought Mitchell the first time? He was losing and then started throwing Mitchell around like a rag doll

When I first saw kostya come out I told my brother he is gonna lose look at his face his eyes are swollen looked like he either cried or just woke up the dudes eyes were all puffy and he kept massaging his face to wake up. Hatton won but it wasnt kostya nite.

Hatton's gotta good chin alright!... He walked through a lot of Tszyu's right hands! - Very Impressive!

Two things about this fight. Either Kostya Tzyu's punching is overrated. Or, Ricky Hatton just has a really good chin. Having a good chin combined with a good punch, and very very very good stamina, make him a hard fighter to defeat.

Tzu is old, old people can't stay up late, this is true.

But if Tzu couldn't fight at 2 Am, he shouldn't be in the fight game.

His time had come.
