Hatton-Kostya in America, would the outcome have been different?

[mECHsLAVE]

Looks like we have a Hatton nuthugger here. I don't care either way for Hatton or Tyzu. I just presented something Greg Leon said at Btalk.

Exactly. Greg is a card-carrying member of the Mayweather Nuthugger Club.

I'm impressed with Hatton, but by no means a nuthugger. I realize Hatton will have a tough time with Floyd and that Floyd will be favored, but I think he can make it competitive.

What I'm sick of is a full year of these threads attempting to lessen the status of Hatton and cheapen his win over Kostya. It's very predictable and subtle and it has mostly come from PBF and Kostya nuthuggers. Hatton did what 99% of all of you thought he couldn't, and that was stop Kostya. Give him his credit and stop trying to take away from it with all this "Oh, if the fight would have been in Austrailia then Kostya would have won." Who cares? It wasn't and he didn't. And I haven't heard Kostya asking for a rematch very loudly either. When a fighter feels as though he was wronged, or circumstances led to his losing unjustly then they act sour and ask for a rematch. Kostya went out of his way to congratulate Hatton and has not asked for a rematch. That should really be the end of it.

The reason these threads keep happening is because certain people simply have invested too much energy and time into downplaying Hatton over the past couple years and can't bring themselves to give him the credit he deserves for becoming the champion of one of the toughest divisions in boxing.

PS- Bloodshed and co can hit me with as much Karma as they want. I'm going to speak my mind. Dorks.

I didn't attempt to lessen ****. I just stated what someone else said and if you check the votes, I took the neutral stance.

I don't care either way for Hatton. If anything I have a little respect for him. He decided to come to America... instead of opting to be a little fish in a little pond like Calzaghe.

Maybe Tzsyu's corner thought they could finish the fight and win a decision after the ref deducted points off fouls. But, who knows...

[DiegoFuego]

Tszyu quit. End of discussion.

[DiEgO_cHiCo_CoRRaLeS]

it would of been different if it was in australia!
he would definately not of quit! and the ref ( whoever it would be ) wouldnt let hatton hold tszyu all night!

[kerrminator]

If you watch the fight you will see the ref comes over to Tszyu's corner and asks if he is going to continue, at which time the cornerman turns to Kostya and asks if he wants to keep going, Kostya slightly shook his head,(thats where the brief confusion came from)the ref wasn't sure wether or not he meant no and asked again and Tszyu shook his head again and said "no" at which time the ref put his arms in the air and waved the fight was over.(It was Tszyu who quit, not his corner)

Thats exactly what happened, watch and see.

hatton won the fight. its the way he won.thats why threads are still being made on this subject.

it was a close fight till the end.

can't help but think that if that fight was held in australia or u.s. without parris reffing the outcome would have more than likly of been different.
how can you not agree with that.take another look at the tape.
