I can't believe that you all are still going on about the Kosta fight. Most people outside the US agree that Kostya was comprehensively beaten, Kostya included. Let me just understand this, a nobody like Hatton roughed up one of the most experienced and knowledgable champions out there. So what exactly was the reason for Kostya quiting on his stool then?? You all know that if Zab had done the same thing in his fight, you'd all be saying what an intelligent fight he fought, and how he's matured as a fighter.
I'm not saying that some UK fighters are over rated, but not more than some US fighters. Joe C wasn't even given a hope against ur second coming, Lacy, and look what happened. People are still claiming that Benn was average, and still find fault with his beating of McClennen. Lewis took ages to get any sort of credit as heavy-weight champ, even though he beat everybody.
This was Hatton's first big fight in the US, and he was clearly trying to put on a show. As for he should not fight in Manchester, why not? Because if he fights in the US, especially with fans like you, the crowd is gonna be less biased towards PBF? Because in the US refs arn't influenced at all right??!!??
Reason why he quit on his school! The reason was the F****** ILLEGAL LOW BLOW he landed in the 9th round. Id like to see you stand after that! Well didnt it show when hatton wasnt allowed to fight his little dirty wrestling game he struggled?
Because Kostya didn't land any low blows himself during the fight? You might want to watch the fight again, a bit more closely. Personally I think that Kostya quit on his stool because he was knackered, being out fought and out hustled, and realised that there was nothing more to gain out of coming out for the next round. But what do I know, I'm not an american fight fan and therefore my opinion must be worth less than yours!
First off mate...i aint american, im australian! Those low blows were borderline, if ricky had balls in his belly button then fine its a low blow but they were nothing even close to what ricky did. Plus hatton was following through with elbows, leading with his head, holding and hitting and just plain wrestling. That shit wont fly anywhere out of britain!
