But I was reading a mailbag from another site and the owner said that if the fight took place in Australia or the USA, the outcome would have been different.

I doubt it, but then again I didn't see the entire fight.

well of course you will never know......but one thing for sure is that hatton would never had had his friend refereeing and letting things go and allowing those kind of tactics......that wasn't general rough, that was outright illegal!

Tszyu quit, how could the outcome be different. I think in America Hatton would've lost a point or 2 for all the fouls, but still Tszyu quit.

his corner stopped it man, if he was gunna quit he coulda stopped alot earlier...his trainer is to smart and looked after his fighter who was gone, and had been gone for about 5 rds...but he never went down, and just kept punching, until the uppercut to the balls....

i think he may have had a point or two off but no way a dq, they were both rough in there and zoo may have had a point off too, same outcome imo or at best for zoo a close points sd loss

People forget that Kostya is a dirty-ass fighter. He scored a bull**** win over Sharmba in their first fight by flipping him onto the canvas all the time, so imo he just got what he deserves.

I think the only difference would be both fighters would have an equal chance to get work done on the inside. It seem that when Hatton had the upperhand on the inside the ref would allow it to go on. When Tszyu got the upperhand the ref would jump in and break them up. That's my only real argument about the fight. It was a dogfight so you have to expect some rough house tactics to go on.
