Kostya Tszyu and Joe Cortez vs. Ricky Hatton

Yes, there are 56 threads a day on Hatton's cheating, and biased refs because this is the opinion of the ever balanced and impartial yanks

Give me a ****ing break, they just don't want to give credit to a very good British fighter

 

Depends on what way Cortez decides to ref the fight,
will he he ref it like Hatton v Castillo or ref it completely differently ala Hatton v Mayweather

 

Cortez KO1

 

Biggest whinge in boxing history?

Get some perspective man.

I assume you have no problems with Floyds tactics, or Cortez then?

Floyd was simply using rough and tumble tactics to win too. And if people can't whinge about the pro Hatton ref in the Tszyu fight, then there should be no complaints about Cortez either.

 

Works the other way as well I'm afraid

The yanks on here are just as bad. They've been whining about the Tszyu fight since the final bell rung

I doubt some have slept since

 

Thats my point.

If any Brits have no problem with the Hatton Tszyu fight - then they can't complain about Cortez either. (and vice versa, I'll give yuo that)

 

Pointing out the obvious, that Cortez barely allowed the fighters to get within Floyd's reach of each other, and complaining are different

Most of us are honest enough to say Floyd would have won easily anyway

However some spazzers actually continue to think Tszyu would have won. He was getting beaten up in there

 

kosta isn't even american. why can't you just believe that some people think that ricky was lucky to have that ref for that fight. i'm not american, or russian and i think that it would have been a way different fight with a different ref. so what's wrong with that?

 

BOTH fights were littered with illegal tactics from both fighters and bad refereeing which was generally in favour of the guy who won.

 

Hatton Hatter!!!!!

 

I'll settle for that

 

Hatton used illegal tactics this isnt in question.But Kostya does hate pressure so you have a very valid point.Vince Phillips got in his face and smashed him to a pulp.

 

because i'm a brit your assuming i've complained about floyd's tactics and cortez.wrong.floyd was brilliant in there i've got no problem whatsoever with the way he fought.boxing isn't called the hardest game for nothing.i think some on here would be better suited to watching non contact sports like netball.

 

Tszyu's left hand was gone when he fought Hatton.

 

indeed. zoo's power is in the end of those big booming rights. smother him and he can't get them off.
