Kostya got jacked. Fight was at 2 in the mornin England time and Ricky was pretty much allowed to turn it into a wrestling match with monster lowblows. Wen Ricky vs mayweather there was no wrestling allowed and his boxing "skills" were exposed.
Wats the time difference between aus and England ? I know If I was going over there for title fight no way in he'll would I want it at a time like that. Would u?
What the **** has time between Aus and the UK got to do with **** ? It was 2am for Ricky Hatton as well , Kostya came here got his arse kicked and retired . End of story , intact it ain't end if story really as Kostya's post fight speach in the centre of the ring was a thing of class I bet he would be wincing having blokes like you coming out with a wagon load of excuses for the HIS loss mate , **** I bet you've even blamed Mr Lewis for the loss at one time or another as well . Lmfao
U fukin serious? so kostya has to adjust to English time zone first and then adjust again to b ready to perform at fukin 2 in the mornin. U don't see that as a disadvantage? Ricky does well fighting his fight and the ref let him do that. if that fight was anywhere else , it would not have played out like that. That doesn't mean the result would change simply that the odds would not b stacked up against kostya. Kostya a classy guy pity Ricky wasnt in the ring.
Lol all Kostya had to do was get his body clock set for 2 am straight off the plane , why would he have to do it twice , besides he's more used to Russian time than Aussie time lol
Well it's normal for Aussies fighting here , for Brits fighting in the States and for Yanks fighting here and in Tarvers case down under , it's the way it's always been but it's a Kostya fan that I've ever seem using it as a part excuse for a loss .
Ricky Hatton got Kostya Tszyu at the right time of his career no doubt about it but im sorry blaming the time of the fight so it could be shown live in the US due to Tszyu's contract with Showtime is way off the mark IMO. Kostya was done after his long amateur career and Frank ****** timed Hattons run perfectly!
Spot on Kagsy , prime for prime kostya batters Hatton but like you say Hattin caught him at the right time .
fair enough. i didnt mean the time was the sole reason he lost. then again i didnt really understand why it was at 2 in the mornin in the first place.
