Comments Thread For: Hearn: Eubank Win Over Golovkin is Bigger Than Hatton-Tszyu

[Metho_4u]

but don't forget it was tszyu's last ever fight. golovkin on the other hand is in or around his prime

this is a once in a generation type opportunity for british boxing fans. i'm praying i manage to get my ticket

Yes, but Tszyu was doing fine in the fight, it was a very close fight actually. Ricky just beat him into submission though. It was a close fight, but in the end Tszyu was not responding to his trainer, and Ricky made him quit. Ricky also had an iron chin back then and Tszyu couldn't hurt him in Rd 9 Tszyu hits him with a great straight right, Ricky puts his hands down and looks right at him and then just keeps walk toward him. A classic moment for me.

I could buy into that statement. There are certain similarities to grasp onto. Although, I wouldn't go so far as to legitimize it altogether. Hatton already was a name before he fought Tszyu...& Tszyu was still trying to chase that FMJ fight. The differences in the situations are brighter than the similarities.
