Piss off, who stops their fighter before the 12th round if they don't know their fighter is behind on the scorecards, Hatton's low blow was revenge for repeated low blows by Tszyu, Kostya showed the dirty and desperate streak, not Hatton, Tszyu knew he had to go to his last resort if he was gonna have even a slight chance. Watch the fights with the sound off if you can't be objective.
What a load of crap! Hatton definately went low and dirty all night, took the stuffing right out of Tszyu. I'm not begrudging Hatton the win but posts like these that are so wrong piss me off!
Hatton won the fight be happy with that, if that fight was in the US or OZ a neutral ref would have D'QD it long before the end of 11 rounds! Those comments totally disrespect Tszyu, he lost, he knew it and i've become a Fatman fan!
There's no way Hatton got preferential treatment just because it was in the UK, Kostya would have had points docked if it was in the US or Aus, I'd rather a fair result than a favourite of mine every day of the week because it's better for the sport, I'll never cheer a hometown decision but Kostya broke the rules first, Hatton hadn't been warned once for low blows and he only hit one, after Kostya had landed 3 low blows with warning over the fight distance, I've watched the fight a million times and then some and I'd rather be objective because I'm that type of fight fan.
