Totally 10000% disagree.I'm no big Hatton fan,far from it,I dislike his style but he has the right style to beat Tszyu and no way,wether it had been Australia,America or anywhere else would it have been easy for Kostya.
He has the right style to beat Tszyu,Tszyu likes time to think,to feel,that's why he is so successful against boxers but Hatton,much like Phillips,did not give him time to think.He bumrushed him and although there are other variables to take into account like the fact that if they had been fighting somewhere else,Ricky would have had points taken off,he would still attack Kostya non stop and even when Kostya got that little bit of space to launch a right hand,Ricky took it well.
I would'nt favour a Kostya in another location too heavily simply because although Hatton would be restrained more by the stricter ref,he would still attack and it was the manner in which he won,KT didn't even bother coming out for the last round. A younger Tszyu...maybe...still close.
