Escobedo Quit: Why Hasn't He Gotten Shit?

[Irish 2002/2003]

Hatton cheated like a motherfucker in that fight. It was a dirty fight that was almost unwatchable. Had it not been in MEN he would have been docked points or DQ'd for his tactics.

Who threw the first meaningful low-blow?

How many meaningful low-blows did Hatton throw?

Hamed at the Cobo arena. Now there's a DQ if ever I saw one.

The ass whupping by Mayweather and the annihilation at the hands of Pacquaio paid Ricky back for his dirty tactics.

Not to mention the pics of him snorting coke the world saw.

I am pretty sure very few people saw the coke.

None of this has any impact on the correctness of my statement

Look, Hatton threw a tonne of clean leather and beat the fight out of Tszyu with clean effective shots. As dirty fights go it wasn't even on the scale. And why do guys like Duran and Pedroza actually get brownie points for being dirty bastards yet Hatton's big title win is regarded as a disgusting farce?

True, but Tszyu was interviewed on 60 Minutes and said shit like "I vill die in rink before I lose" then pretty much quit in a close fight. Admittedly he was beautifully nutted by Hatton, woulda hurt like hell for days.

Punk is the man, the only objective Aussie on this site when it comes to Tszyu

I think Hatton's dirtiness is exaggerated. Not very watchable, Hatton did a shit load of holding, but how dirty was he really? Just excessive holding was the main thing, there are loads of fighters that use their head/forearm/elbows much more on a regular basis, as well as sneaky low blows.

Hopkins, Pedroza, Duran, these guys were sainted for their filthy nature. Hatton, early-days, didn't do much holding. He threw a fuck load of clean punches too and this is conveniently forgotten. Hatton only nailed Tszyu in the stones AFTER Tszyu had taken liberties himself- and- lest it be forgotten, it had not been too far back that Tszyu was being called "dirty" by everyone in the States, particularly after the 1st Mitchell fight.

Hatton went down from a clean bodyshot. He rose then purposely hit Kosta in the nuts.

Sure? Tszyu had already been stopped by Phillips and I never remember him talking that kind of way. He seemed to approach the sport as a sport and not a do-or-die competition.

What a stupid cracker. Back in 70's Detroit, they died or they won. Some people just aren't cool enough to get this game.

It might not have been the benchmark, but it certainly was on the scale.

When you wear a cup that covers your belly button (like Hatton has on) shots to the beltline are legal punches.

Oscar De La Hoya and Lemmon Lewis were two of the first I noticed to wear those sparring cups in fights. Look how wide that belt line is on Hatton.

"like I said before"

That was a legal shot
