Tszyu predicts Hatton win! By Ray Wheatley -- World of Boxing Former IBF/WBC/WBA jr welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu predicts Ricky Hatton can defeat Floyd Mayweather on Saturday if he employs the same tactics the British bulldog did against him when he took the Australian based Russians IBF 140 pound title. Tszyu said "For Ricky Hatton to win, he has to do what he did against me in our fight in Manchester. That is, putting on effective pressure." Huge, huge pressure is something that Floyd will not be able to sustain his defence. "It is the sheer volume of punches that Hatton throws over many rounds that does the damage. Ricky is very persistent in one direction - straight ahead, and he does this very, very well." Tszyu defended the IBF jr welterweight title successfully against Floyd's uncle - Roger Mayweather in 1995. this is copied straight from http://www.fightnews.com/ of course his view wont change anyones mind either way....but still good to see someone like him saying that. Go Ricky go!!! Cant wait. One thing I dont believe will happen - is Floyd wont keep his promise to stand toe to toe and have a war. But anyway, we'll be soon discussing the result of this fight!
haha, you left out all the stuff Tszyu said about Mayweather and his chances. Tszyu basically said they both have a chance and reading all of it, he says Ricky needs to fight hard, dirty and get a little help from the ref.
Nice way to win a boxing match. Get help from the 3rd man and break the rules.Sounds like the stuff legends are made of.:roll:
