Tackie got a boxing lesson from kostya, kostya could of finished him but left him there to show that he could box. If you watch the leija fight, leija was causing troubles but when the fight was stopped kostya was clearly taking over. If the fight had of gone on then kostya would of won by UD or maybe a late stoppage. All that matters is that kostya was one of the greats and IMO will go down as an all time great. He lost to hatton coz of hattons pressure but as taeth said...he used some questionable tactics. But one thing you cant say about Tszyu is that he was scared to fight out of australia, he didnt duck anyone and he beat the best. He is a better fighter then zab in the respect that he has the skill, he has the power and he has the mental game unlike judah. Judah falls apart easily and now looks to have a fear of being knocked out as the Tszyu fight seems to have put a black mark on his resume. Why shouldnt it be a black mark? He acted immaturely and showed that he was a fuckwit. You can say he has matured but we can never be sure. But IMO the reason why judah was pissed after the tszyu fight was coz of a couple of reasons: He got up and then fell twice and that showed he had been hit quite hard and he hadnt quite gotten his thoughts together and acted irrasionally and the other major one being his mouth. He knows how to use his mouth....too well for his own good. At every weigh in he is cocky and talks about knocking people out easily yet so far against the big names he has come up short and he would of been embarrased that he said he would knock tszyu out easily and got knocked out himself in 2 rounds.
