Both Super_Lightweight and Raesaad, said that Tszyu did not train for the 2am fighting. Firstly this is not true. Secondly, that did not meet Hatton's desired time, but he adapted. If Tszyu did not train for that time, it is nobody's fault other than his own. But because he did begin to train at least one month before the fight in England for that time (2am) the point is void.
He came over to England one month before the fight to check the area that he would be fighting in. The ring, meet the refs, and hold a press conference. From this point, he remained in England training in preparation for 2am.
The point isn't void at all. I've never seen any source that said Tszyu trained for the proper hour like Hatton did. I know Hatton trained for it, and good for him. It was mentioned on the telecast that Tszyu didn't train for the proper time whereas Hatton did. Cite your course if you have one.
Roger Mayweather (former Tszyu opponent, now trainer of prospective Tszyu foe Floyd Mayweather)
"Tszyu is in a different league to Hatton. If Hatton comes to him the fight will end early, but if he sits back it will last a bit longer. Hatton might have strength but he hasn't fought anybody that good. Tszyu has ability and punching power, and he's going to spank him. But it will be a different game when he takes on Floyd, because he'll be fighting a younger version of me."
Prediction: "Tszyu will definitely stop him."
This is what Roger Mayweather (Floyd's trainer) said about Tszyu - Hatton.
He is one of the smartest trainers around, right Manny_P?
oh wow, so anybody that has ever wrongly predicted a fight doesn't know jack **** about boxing I guess.

Tszyu,was advised by 'specialists' that once in England, if he slept during the day & trained after midnight, he would get more tired. So, he went to England, got adjusted to the timezone, and trained his normal hours (daytime). He thought the adreneline of a fight on a 'one off' late night would over-ride his tiredness. This was a bizarre move if you ask me. He was set up perfectly to go over 1 week in advance, keep the same hours as here & fight to his body clock.
Fenech said that before the fight, Tszyu was basically flat & that Johnny Lewis was having to 'fire Tszyu up' for the first time in his career.
