Going to be a great fight. Ricky Hatton is the latest up and comer and is Manchesters hero these days. He is stepping up in weight to fight the hard hitting Tszyu and it should prove to be smokin. The fight sold out in 3 hours.

I myself cant wait to hear "Blue Moon" play and see this fight start.

If there are any other fight fans here, who do you think will win?

Tszyu has had health problems, but he has the good power. If he's trained well for the match I don't see why he can't take this match with ease.

Stop flirting w/ each other boys.

That Hatton guy hits hard. Is he still undefeated? I wish I still had showtime so I could enjoy a good fight.

Yes, hatton is 38 - 0 with 28 KO's.

Seems the line is slightly in favor of Tszyu:

It was a great fight. Hatton beat him so hard, Tszyu wouldn't come out for the 12th and Hatton won by TKO.

39 - 0...

Tszyu is simply a little too old... I mean this was his 14th title defense.. he dominated his weight class for years...

I think he realized that no matter how hard he trains/what kind of shape he is in, age becomes a factor... I am still a big fan of his and I was very pleased with how he graciously accepted the loss and the kind words he had for Hatton.
