Hatton vs Tszyu - Fight Stats

[moochi]

Yeah he's a true champion in every sense of the word.

I think he's passed the batton on to the right guy too... Ricky Hatton is very much like Kostya Tszyu in he's brutally honest, he's VERY respectfull, he doesn't do any trash talking.

yes well even though i think the baton will stay in ricky's hands for long, i definitely would prefer it too than anybody elses in the division............something like the ashes...

...I hate to break the news to you, but in your little clip I'm not even sure if Hatton lands a punch.

He pushes him back and knocks him down(if the ropes werent there)

The real reason that Kostya is being driven back in that clip is because Ricky is leading with his head. He does land a left that causes Tszyu to fall into the ropes at the very end, but it's not a heavy shot, the punch is more of a pushed punch and Kostya is off balance.

how can you argue about that clip???

he clearly hits him with a left and kostya is gone except BOING. no question.

Ok dude, if the ropes weren't there he would have went down and it would have been scored a knockdown....but don't ****ing act like it was some huge clean shot that he wouldn't have bounced right up from. You didn't seem to comment on the fact that he clearly leads with his head as he did numerous time in the evening. If that's the highlight of the fight to you, then cool, but it was an amateurish sequence to me. The whole bout was amateurish if you ask me.

Tsyzu was trying to avoid the head and a jab and he is falling back and loses his balance. The slapping left hook is the only shot in the sequence that actually scored.
