No this aint about roy jones jr, its about something i find very strange. Judah hit mayweather INTENTIONALLY in the nuts and he is being crucified(rightly so!) but remember about a year ago…we saw something worse from englands own “good guy” ricky hatton. Yet no one really cared about it but now it happened against floyd everyone is saying how bad it is and how dangerous it was…ricky hatton is specialised in body punches and that punch he hit tszyu with was one of his specialised shots which he decided to lower. Talk about double standards people and for all you pommy bastards whinging about the low blow then remember “boxing isnt a tickling contest!” !
Yes because ther corner protested about an elbow and all of you call me crazy for sayin i saw hatton throwing elbows against tszyu…well turns out there might be a history there.
Hatton definitely took it out on KT"s balls and that’s not good but it was in response to all of KT’s lowblows(although strangely enough the knockdown wasn’t a low blow IMO), it was a way of showing that he won’t be pushed around and bullied
Judah’s lowblow was an absolutely pathetic “I’m getting dominated so I’ll do anything to stop this” type of BS lowblow. Not to mention what was possibly even worse which was the blatant punch to the back of the head. But its not just one thing, Judah’s got a history of being a punk a** (Nady, the Baldomir pre fight punch) and then the PBF incident, Hatton doesn’t have that history of being a punk a** so its not a real good comparison IMO.
All that being said, I thought the Nady and Baldomir incidents were more disgraceful than this one
Mate KTs low blows were not lowblows, unless hatton has balls in his stomach then they were no where near his nuts. Im sure hattons low blow had kostyas nuts in his throat. You right about the knockdown though, you watch hatton get up and look at his face. He knows it wasnt low, thats the face of a man who has just been knocked down.
good to see you agree with me when I say something in KT’s favor ;D
Nah, I like KT but I did think he threw some low blows, although they weren’t really vicious, and Hatton’s was a bit too vicious
I think people jump on Zab for that cause of the pattern, he has a pattern of being immature, if it was just his lowblow and rabbit punch during the PBF fight nobody would be jumping on him so much, but with Zab he has a history of being a bit sketchy
Yap Tsyzu was fouled throughout that fight and the lowblow was obvious. Keep in mind that this took place in England and that’s why wasn’t made a big deal. Hatton was a punk to retaliate like that when Tszyu only accidentally tapped him bellow the belt.
Tyszu threw 3 (count them) deliberate low blows at Hatton first. I don’t care wether they hit his nuts or not they where well below the belt and repeated.
Hatton throw 1 of his own back.
Hatton did not do it because he was being outclassed, simply for revenge.
Hatton did not then throw a deliberate back hander to Tyszu’s head afterwards.
Hatton is always rough in the ring and a very nice man outside of the ring, unlike Judah who is a trash talker thug outside of the ring.
Tyszu - Hatton was like a year ago… get over it
For all intents and purposes Tyzsu is Russian… he’s about as Australian as Joe Bugner is go cry over something else.
Doesn’t of course meen I think what Hatton did was right… he went down a level when he did it… but it was no where near as bad as what Zab did. Different incidents - you can’t compare… and like I said above… teh fact that Hatton is humble and down to earth compared to Zab who is a trash talk knacker don’t exactly help his case either.
Hey it happens....Like Snakey says this is Boxing...You can't always keep them up thier are accidents...Even if it is an intentional foul sometimes emotions get the better of you....There are guys who have made cheating an art form...Ali was the all time king of holding behind the head...Hopkins always hit below the belt he just made his shots in the side of the hip so by the 6th his opp had charlies horses and couldn't move around as well....This is the ref's job to deal with these things not the corners...The ref cant see everything..Even the best ref's will miss something but to eliminate this problem they should install a second ref on the outside to call those things when the in ring ref misses them...until that happens keep the other rules intact and the corners stay out of the ring!!!!!
lewis also always used to hold opponents down with his superiour weight and Evander for the second part of his career always used to bore his forward to smash it his opponent’s faces
Remember how excited he was about Carlos Maussa beating Hatton… even though to every one else it was pretty obvious that Maussas skinny frame simply wouldn’t stand up to Hattons power.
