Hatton has alot of Balls

[DLT]

I was watching some of the replay right now on Showtime and I saw something that I meant to talk about right after the fight but I must have forgot but did anyone notice how both Hatton and Tszyu came out at the start of almost every round, run to the center of the ring, and both throw a big KO right hand. That was awesome. You dont see that too much anymore. Floyd does it sometimes and tries to sneak it in but if the opponent catches on to it then he stops or switches up but these 2 didnt and I remember thinking that Hatton is crazy to be doing this with Tszyu.

E****ally when it was clear he was winning the fight I remember saying that Hatton is going to throw this fight away and get KO doing something ****** like that but he never got hurt and most of the time he got the better of it. I thought it was insane for both of them because they would just run out and throw the big right and really had no defense and was hoping it would land. I think they kept it up because I think both thought they could end the fight like that and they couldnt believe that the other was trying to do it every round and leave there self open.

If you guys really looked then you will see that these guys came inches away sometimes from being caught flush. I respect Hatton as a puncher but he is not the one punch KO artist Tszyu is so thats why I thought he was crazy. Tszyu almost caught him a few times like that but Hatton would just move his head and Tszyu would miss by a inch. Though all of this Hatton never cared or feared Tszyu's power so he has all my respect for that because I dont know any other fighter who wouldve did that man to man with Tszyu

i noticed tszyu began to do it and i felt he was getting desperate even though the fight was close

[Konstantin]

Yea same I read desperation in that. But the commentators didnt notice...

HBO is a lot better

[DLT]

I disagree. They were doing it early in the fight and I dont think he felt desperate. I think he just felt surprised that Hatton was coming straight at him at the begining of the bell and suprised that Hatton was actually crazy enough to trade big rights with him and I think he liked his chances to catch him and change the fight immediatly. He wasnt desparte. He was excited and like I said, they were doing it early in the fight

Tszyu sure looked desperate later..and tired

Hatton always goes for the KO, its a bit worrying when he's going for the KO in the 12th when you have money on him.

[JUYJUY]

Hatton says that his most enjoyable wins have always been KO victories, he can't help it, he loves to go for KO's.

I first saw Hatton at the 97 ABA's, I watched his semi-final and he came out from the opening bell even back then and went for the kill from the off.. he stopped his opponent in about 30 seconds of the first and it was fairly obviously that he was going places - you could tell just by his motions that he was pretty darn good, his body positioning all came naturally and he was just like a beast and a bull of strength in there.

I think it was Tszyu's game plan coz' he came close with it in the 1st 4 rounds... But after a few rounds Hatton noticed he was doing it and used it to his advantage to throw his own big right hand at the same time.

You're right though... Hatton does have balls to be playing games like that with a known puncher. He turns into a real hard f**ker when he steps through those ropes!

Amen to that. Showtime needs some better commentary.

he told us all what tszyu could do & what he could do.

regardless of tszyus ability to adjust in the fight.

the guy totally backed it all up. just like wink wright.
