    Iv just watched this fight for the first time in 3 years it was alot better then i first thought i just wanna say How can Kostya have got the stick he did on this site after that fight is beyond me for "quitting" is beyond me he was 35! shot to bits and yet was still giving the younger,fresher prime fighter a life and death struggle how do you guys see this prime for prime did Hatton always have the style to beat Tszyu?

    Hatton got away with so much dirty tactics in that fight, it was bad to watch.

    Justice has been served since though.

    I think the low blow turned the fight it was even after 8 and Ricky was winning the 9th then he hammered him with that blow and his gas tank went empty.

    The referee won hatton that fight. He held for 75% of the fight from what i remember. the ref should have warned him.

    Tszyu wasn't exactly an angel in that fight - the punch immediately before Hatton hit Tszyu was low from Kostya.

    He was not shot to bits at all - he was as prime as Mosley was for the Cotto fight.

    Rubbish, he was out of the ring for extended periods with injurys in the years before that fight Mosley was active and still looking sharp.

    Kostya knew he was almost shot thats why he came to Manchester for one last payday knowing everything including the referee would be against him, why else would the legendary champion goto someone elses back yard

    No way Mosley kept himself active, Tsyzu was coming of a long layoff, Hatton didnt hold all the time he was tremendous in his own right that night and deserved to win both were roughhouse with there tatics but Tyzsu was shot.

    That was ****ing bull****, it was RIGHT on the belt and posted in GIFs including videos thousand times here already. Hatton using endless elbows, shoving, headbutts, lowblows, clinching, rabbit punching and COUNTLESS punches behind the head to squeeze out a late TKO in a really close fight was the issue here. That fight was a ****ing disgrace.

    But calling Koysta shot after the fact is denergrating hattons achievement. In the build up to this fight everyone was saying hatton was overmatched and wouldn't be able to stand up to koysta's right hand which he was. Ok was hopkins shot when Joe beat him.

    Too much cheating from Hatton for my liking. Suprisingly difficult to get hold of now, but I've got it if anybody wants to see the horrors unfold.

    Dave Parris was a right ***** in that fight. "Was that low Ricky?"

    No some of us look beyond nationality unlike yourself when it comes to liking fighters and picking who will win, those were obvious especially Lewis to win.

    It was extremely dirty by Hatton, I remember watching it live. I didnt care who won that fight either and I was thinking to myself, my god the ref is totally crooked.

    Tszyu was a man though, he never once complained about the tactics in that fight and even gave Hatton a compliment and encouraged him as the new reigning champion.

    I dont know how Tszyu did that, I would have knifed him at the press conference or the airport afterward.
