HATTON SHOCKS THE WORLD!!

[ooh!!bodyform]

i know this is a footy forum but after staying up till the early hours and watched what i thought was an impeccible display of 'hustle and box' Ricky deserves a shout out well done not many fighters have stopped kostya tszyu let alone retired him after 11 rounds of battery!

 

well worth the 14.95 to watch it,

 

 

RICKY HATTON THE UNDISPUTED WORLD IBF LIGHT WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION!

 

This boy is gonna be hard to beat and also bearing in mind that he beat(and quite convincingly) a man that has been a world champion for nearly 10 YEARS!

I never heard of Kostya Tszyu until this match. Hatton I was well aware of. Didnt realise Tszyu was going to be a difficult match...not a particularly keen boxing fan.

 

Congrats to Hatton regardless.

Well done to Hatton new he would win Tszyu has a lot of power but at 35 he couldnt match Hatton's barrages of punches with a huge stamina reserve to back him up.

kostya tszu is OR WAS the second best pound for pound fighter in the world for over 10 years, if you didnt see it you missed a cracker!

AND...... kostya tzsu was 15/8 on for that fight last night Hatton was(to the bookies anyway) a rank outsider but i have to say that was a little harsh on the lad the bloke is hard as nails!!
