I still believe Hatton Tszyu won't happen

lirva33 · Post by **lirva33** » 09 Apr 2005, 23:36

As we get closer and closer to June 5th, the time of a pullout is almost here. As most of you know I have a 500 quid bet with don't call it a comeback on whether or not this fight will happen. The main reason for this is because of Hatton's ducking and dodging and the fact that tszyu will kill him in a one round KO IMO, so why would Frankie allow that? Hatton and Frankie know they can't beaat Tszyu and they'll find a way out... and when they do, I'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

As Ric Flair would say, Woooooooooo!!!!

We should all guess reasons that Frank will give if the fight doesn't happen;

"He asked for too much money."

"In all honesty I think Tszyu was scared of fighting Ricky"

If nothing else illustrates how bad a state British boxing is in then this does....a fight is signed and sealed, press conferences have been held, venues booked and yet most of us still doubt it'll happen...

And a lot of tickets sold......

And Harrison v Brodie the night before can be easily switched to the saturday night if need be.....

That certainly raised my suspicions.

You can't blame anyone for being cynical, the amount of Allegedly promotions with TBA's and the main events cancelled is ludicrous.

I still have a sneaking feeling that it may not happen, or there might be a delay leading to the fight being cancelled. I can hear it now!...
'Wicky needs a THREE week delay after he was given a spiked Kebab!... but Kostya's said no and gone back to OZ!... I always knew he was scared to face Wicky!... we will ofcourse be pressing to fight for the now vacant IBF title against a very accomplished 36 yearold lightweight!'

Well Hatton was looking in near fighting shape today on the BBC.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 11 Apr 2005, 04:49

Yes, I thought he looked in good trim, his face was pretty gaunt looking.

because Zoo is held in such high regard within the boxing community I dont see how it hurts Hatton's career or Warren's cash cow, if he loses he lost to a great fighter and other fights may be easier to make as a result, if he wins then the money increases ever so much. It is a no risk proposition.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 11 Apr 2005, 04:57

Exactly! Losing to Tszyu is about as embarrassing as chatting up Naomi Campbell and getting blown out.

Why would you want to chat up an Olympic sprinter?

Hmm wonder if he'll do a dissapearing act nearer the time.

he has assured us in the past not.
credit to him if he does pay up tho.

I reckon it will happen unless one of them get's injured. This is to big an event for either to pull out of unless they really have to.

Not only that, but isn't FW's contract with Sky up for renewal soon? He'll want to give a good impression won't he?

Bloody hell, you could have put a half decent name in that sentance. Naomi Campbell? She's an anorexic skank.

I'd pound the pud.

I'd lick her dirt pipe, but that doesn't change the fact that she's a skank.
