I predicted Hatton would win it by UD... I didn't think he'd ACTUALLY STOP Kostya Tszyu!Ricky did us all proud on Saturday night...
... And both fighters were a class act both in and out of the ring.I remember Kostya saying after the fight, "I'm a proud man, I've been doing boxing for 27yrs and it pains me to say this... Ricky Hatton was better than me tonight in everyway".
And Ricky said on the mic, "I think you'll all agree that if I can become half the champion that Kostya Tszyu's been over the years then I'll have more than made it!"
All the Aussie's that I've spoken too since have said, "Fair play to your boy Ricky, he had the right game plan and he stuck to it. It was an excellent win for him".
So why are all these Yanks on here "disgusted" with the way the fight went? - Coz' the fighters, and the fans of each fighter weren't? I really don't understand it... And I'm getting really tired of all this, "They referee was awfull" B0LL0X!
Ricky Hatton was not doing any illegal boxing moves... (besides they both threw a couple of low blows... but hey, it was a fast paced fight and the referee was particulary leaneant with both fighters).
I Agree with you JPW, some of the posters on this thread have no class at all... They're just whinging and talking B0LL0X because they've learnt that they didn't know as much about boxing as they thought they did.
I hope you had a good time at the M.E.N. on Saturday night man...
