Hatton's performance versus Tyszu was outstanding

People who make out Tyszu was shot for this fight are living in a dream world, the truth is that Hattons performance that night was outstanding.

I re-watched that fight this morning for the first time since it happened, its a fight you see haterz try and **** on day in and day out on esb with bull**** like Tyszu was shot, or that Hatton fouled his way to victory when the truth is that its a crime to try and diminish the brilliance of Hatton that night.

Hattons performance was absolutely relentless, his workrate was outstanding, he brought pressure to Tyszu for 3 minutes of every single round backed by a hugely supportive home crowd.

There have rightly been questions about Hattons chin later in his career but he walked through bomb after bomb from Tyszu that night, pressuring Tyszu, forcing him backwards, not giving Tyszu that space he needed to produce his best work, he basically bullied Tyszu into submission, he broke Tyszu's heart in the ring that night and in hindsight I'm not surprised that he never fought again after that fight.

I don't think any version of Tyszu could have beat Hatton that night and in hindsight Tyszu's own performance was hugely underated, Tyszu actually fought a great fight himself, he fought through great adversity and showed great heart in there, the points scores must have been very close going into the last.

Hatton's not a fighter I particularly like, I'm not that keen on that style of fighter but at this stage of his career he really was an elite fighter with good footwork, an underated jab and incredible workrate. Ballooning up to 14 stone inbetween fights probably hadn't taken its toll on hatton at that stage of his career, where as l do think that indiscipline inbetween fights had a detrimental effect on his workrate and chin later on his career.

 

completely agree, it was a poor mistake by Hatton, after a defeat so many boxers look at their trainers instead of looking at themselves, how the **** could hatton / mayweather snr have ever worked together :roflatsch

His workrate in this fight was phenominal. What I didn't recall from watching this fight in a pissed up haze all those years ago was just how good Tyszu's performance was that night as well, he put up one hell of a fight and still might have edged it with a big last round.

 

Its hard to envisage hatton ever beating Mayweather but a fight at 140 in Manchester at that point in Hattons career would have been very interesting to watch, that type of pressure backed by home crowd and a referee that allowed the roughing up tactics.

 

Zero vcash

Zero on the Team Elite vcash barometer = A poster that loves deepthroating trannys all the way to the balls whilst having fart paste smeared under his eye lids :roflatsch:-dead

 

Hatton was straight back up anyway and with regards to illegal tactics, Tyszu constantly hit Hatton behind the back of the head throughout the fight.

 

Can you expand on that IB?

BTW, when the **** you gonna sort that vcash total out, its one of the funniest things on ESB :rofl:rofl:deal
