[realheavyhands]

if it wasnt in manchester and tzu got credit for his knock down it woulda been a draw..hatton fought a great fight

[Sir Fancylot]

Wheres the love?

Point taken.

But i mean, he's really been avoiding the fact he lost, he tries to blame his loss on EVERYTHING except hatton being a better boxer.

He needs to accept that he lost.

[The Golden Boy]

How the **** is he avoiding the fact that he lost? What do you think it means when he says "He was the better fighter tonight in every round"? Don't talk **** you have no idea about just to try and get your posts up you ****ing idiot!

[Zab Super Judah]

nah man this is just so tszyu saves face..he had no objection with the stoppage I think him and lewis both agreed to do this to save face for tszyu. Tehre was no objection from tszyu at the end of round 11 he wouldnt respond to them

[Mr. Ryan]

Russian-born boxer Kostya Tszyu has fired his trainer Johnny Lewis after losing his IBF light-welterweight crown to Britain's Ricky Hatton.

Tszyu, 35, who has held a version of the light-welterweight title for 10 years, suffered a shock defeat to Hatton after failing to answer the bell for the 12th and final round in their championship bout in Manchester on Sunday.

Tszyu's manager Matt Watt said the Sydney-based boxer had made a decision to ditch Lewis for stopping the fight.

"Kostya wanted to continue but Lewis felt that he was losing the fight," Tszyu's promoter Vlad Warton was quoted as saying by Sovietsky Sport newspaper.

"It wasn't Kostya's decision to end the fight. He would have never stopped his own fight."

Tszyu and Lewis have been together since 1992 after the boxer moved from Russia to Australia.



Big shock to me.

Bull****. Kostya Tszyu is now just trying to make a scapegoat out of Lewis. I heard in the corner him agreeing to end the bout. He even said in post fight interviews that he had no complaints. I deeply respect Kostya Tszyu, I feel he is one of the top 2 or 3 140 champions of all time, but I have to frown upon this statement.

[TRUEVisionDC]

I dont believe this for one sec. LISTEN to the entire corner prior to the 12th. They were all encouraging him.... Tszyu is making it worse for himself.

If i may play devils advocate here, there should be no reason Tszyu wont accept a rematch then, cuz Hatton has offered it...
