The ref let hatton perform wrestling moves on kosta but hatton proved he was good taking haymakers from stzu. pac would have kod stzu just like that too. pac is just a gifted fighter power wise.
Which (in my opinion) were the main reasons KT quit on the stool because he didnt look like he was hurt or anything like that. It was more frustrated. He sort of looked confused as to why the ref wasnt doing anything to stop the mauling from Hatton. But as we witnessed last saturday, he tried to do that **** to Pacquiao and paid dearly.
It wasn't pretty, but Kostya wasn't an angel in there either. Yeah, the ref let Ricky get away with a lot of **** in there, for sure, but no one tied Kostya's hands...no...he was outfought in a tough, ugly fight, and he was made to quit. Borderline elite level performance, because you simply cannot imagine a B or B+ level fighter performing like that in there, even whilst bending the rules and getting away with it. I'm not saying he'd have beaten a prime Tszyu...I'm not saying he's Aaron Pryor...that wasn't a true elite performance, not A, not A+, not A++, no...but it was borderline elite...just watch the fight and then imagine Bradley, say, performing like that. You can't. One flower doesn't a spring make, true...and Hatton is no true elite fighter, but he's better than a world class fighter, at least on his best night. So...the hate is not warranted.
didn't look hurt? it was a relentless beating. did you see the state of his face in that pic with hattion the day after the fight?
The guy was awesome and favored. That upset suprised many people. It sure suprised me. What were you basing this half retired thing on? His near shutou over Ben Tackie or his knockouts over Leija and Mitchell? Was it his KO over Judah?
I just wanted to get something straight because Hattons been fighting like this for nearly 10 years. Youve seen him and if he is indeed a fraud based on what youve seen, why did you pick a fraud? Im a bit confused here at people who picked Hatton and now is a fraud after the fact. Hattons been like this for a decade.
SURE can. But, Bradley won't be afforded the biased refs, predisposed judges, leaning officials, and other hometown benefits that Ricky's career was built upon.
No Hatton is not a fraud . . . let's give the guy some respect. The guy has spent his whole career at 140 and remain undefeated . . . with only one loss when he went up to 147. He got caught early with solid shots that's all . . . but that doesn't justify him being branded a fraud.
I am, am I? So I'm 'in' idiot am I? What part of the world would idiot be in then, clever clogs? There you go trying to come across as intelligent again :roll: I have enough confidence in my assumption that I don't need to post pix to know what I know BIGBOY :yep Can you see the irony in your statement Big Fella? :yep
**** off scurla, I'm no Hatton zealot, but you'll happily jump on any bandwagon that derides him :deal The problem with this thread is that the OP doesn't know what the **** he's talking about, and is calling Hatton a fraud simply because $50 of his Krispy Kreme fund went on the PPV, and he knows that's half a C note's worth of donuts he'll never get back.
