Kostya Tszyu got robbed VS Hatton

One of the worst officiated fights ever.

 

UK did need to have their new hero...

 

Fail of a thread. The Showtime commentators tried to give Tszyu an out and set it up for him to complain and make excuses. To Tszyu's credit, he would have none of it and he said, "I know where I was at in the fight, I was hurt and there was no point in me to continue."

Just stating the facts as they were. If Tszyu can accept he was losing, so should his fans and everyone else.

 

It was borderline and looked below the belt line to me, also Hatton wasnt down for 10 seconds, he was up instantly, though I didnt like the way Hatton was fighting with the hitting, holding, mauling. It looks very similar to what Ward does in my opinion. Its not a style I am a fan of

 

And this is why this main forum is the worst on the net for Boxing.

 

Hatton battered him, and im not even British

 

Bad reffing =/= robbery.

The latter term refers to bad scorecards from the judges.

Unfair refereeing is unfair refereeing (whether uneven - handedness in doling out warnings or deductions, allowing too much clinching or not enough infighting, long counts, and premature stoppages). "Robbery" means something else, specifically referring to unfair judging.

Of course you do occasionally have scenarios that include both. :yep (ie Ottke-Reid)

 

Difference between ret4rd and a brit is subtle.

 

You'd know that being Finnish...

 

Exactly

 

Some refs allow rough-house tactics,
Fury vs SC
Wlad hugging Pov
Porter head-butting Brook
Hatton vs KT



Some refs like to keep it at a distance
FMJ vs Hatton

 

Distance

At times Cortez broke them up before they were even touching

 

I dont like exessive holding either, but to be fair, both Hatton and Tszyu were going at eachother like bulls that clinching was inevitable.
I think both were equally as strong on the inside, but Hatton better at pivoting to the sides to find the angle to deliver power.
Thats what won Hatton the fight.
Tszyu never complained and to my knowleadge has'nt since, he was in his fair of fights where he did the rough housing.
