Probably the biggest boxing fight of the decade, ive been waiting for over a year for this one!
Come on Ricky

good luck hatton!
Good luck to Hatton - I'm pacing myself and off round a mates house to watch it.
One of the lads is a Man City fan
Love the Blue Moon entrance
The enterance is cool. yeah i tried hard to get tickets but they sold out within 2 hours.
Scandel, that prep is due to 'day before weigh ins' where the fighters dehydrate themselves for the weigh in, to make the weight and then eat a few meals with very high calories to put on as much weight as possible be the heaviest they can for the fight, its comon practice.
Tzyu is one strong mofo, hatton is ever improving but has skin like wet toilet paper, maybe his cuts willl let him down. This is the only fight ever that i cannot make a prediction for. It is very evenly matched in very different ways. Hope Hatton does it, he has something special.
Tzyu is fighting in Hatton's home town, late at night, and will have everyone against him. Shows how much balls he has.
Hatton had dynamite in his fists, Tzyu has a right hand from hell.
its a pyscological thing aswel, eating healthy for 10 weeks and being strict, then eating one fry up is good psycologically, to make Hatton feel more comfortable and ease the nerves, sounds silly i know but this is a world calss dude who has his dieting down to a science.
Mitchell made the mistake of trying to fight him. Mitchel is a very vet good boxer but crap at slugging it out. He tried to do this with tzyu and got fucked. Judah was killing tzyu in the first round, did you see tzyus face after? looked like he had been 10 rounds. Judah got a bit too cocky, and a bit too comfortable.
Hatton can do it but he needs to survive the first 4-5 rounds. Hattons main thing is body shots, and tzyu is not someone that will stand there and let you hit him. Very dangerous fight, great build up!#
Who you going for scandelous?
well done Hatton, we knew you could do it! world champion!
Not all of us have sky so come on keep m eposted on here!
I want a full run down of the fight, and not a biased preview please.
Remember Kostya is getting on in years now!
I saw the fight live on Sky.... Amazing!!
Kosta looked the better fighter in the early rounds, but Ricky just keept up an astounding pace that noone could keep up with! His training regime consist of fighting 15 rounds matches just so he can build up the stamina needed.
In the 10th and 11th round Kosta was so tired, he couldn't keep out of the way of the punches. No surprise he quit in the 12th. But he was a good loser, and Ricky was very gracious in victory too.
Thanks people..benn v Eubank more like though Fabio!!
well done ricky hatton
another champ from manchester
