Hatton v Tzyu announced

[onikami]

Hatton will win and here is a song I wrote explaining why:

THE FORTUNATE ONES.

The Fortunate Ones. To be Fast and free and young,
I wanna count myself among, the fortunate ones.
We wont be denied.

We got the passion and the pride,
We know that time is on our side,
The fortunate ones.

[DLT]

I think Hatton might surprise alot of people on this one

If you put a gun to my head then I would have to pick Zoo but Ive been sayin for a long time that I think that Zoo is a littile overated and he hasnt fought a guy like Hatton before who has the quickness to out box him and has the pressure style to impose his will on Zoo and we all know that Zoo doesnt have the greatest defense. He depends on his O to win the fight and that will catch up to him sooner or later

The thing is, Hatton has never shown any boxing skills. He's definitely a relentless, high volume puncher, but he's never been in with any top tier opponents. Sure, he's fought a few has-beens with skills, but I don't think that will prepare him adequately against a relentless fighter like Tszyu.
The only big name he has on his record is Ben Tackie. I love Ben. He used to be a fighter, and he's still extremely durable, but he's far from top tier.

I think there's a chance that Hatton might catch and stun Tszyu, but I don't think it's a likelihood. What I have to wonder is, if Hatton gets KTFO, are his big money, US TV days over?

Hey, vB, you haven't been so busy lately on the posts. Not too long ago, you were bringing some sanity to the Bush/Kerry thing and got some props up here in Canuck land for that.

Thanks I've decided I need to quiet down now that the theocracy has been reinstated. It would suck to wind up on a no-fly list since i live on an island.

June 4th in Manchester????

If Micky Vann is the ref, Tzyu will have to KO Hatton just to get a draw.

I think the judges decide who wins

Seriously i think Micky Vann would benifit Tszyu, Tszyu's well known for being rough and Micky Vanns well known for allowing it.

The only way for Tszyu to win is by KO/TKO or he will get robbed...

The fights in England not Germany, Tszyu wouldnt get robbed.

From what I've seen, and I've seen about a dozen Hatton/Vann fights, Vann is known for letting Hatton be rough. He's not so forgiving with the opponents.

From what I've seen(all of his fights) Micky Vann shows no bias whatsoever towards Hatton. The whole Micky Vann thing has only ever been raised as an issue by a couple bitter Hatton victims looking for excuses(infact I can only think of Stephen Smith's dad ever saying it, after he got his son disqualified for entering the ring and shoving Vann).

Micky Vann only does so many of his fights because he lives quite close to Manchester and is the best referee in the area.
