Tszyu-Phillips II

Personally the only fight i want too see Zoo in is a Hatton rematch , but this time on neutral ground and a ref that will take points for holding and hitting and low blows , if Zoo don't leave it too long he may well manage to do the last third of the fight.

I don't think Tszyu is up for it any more.

He always knew that fighting in Manchester was a risk, he was going to the opponents back yard, and knew he would get no favours from the referee.

The reason he took the fight is he earned the biggest paycheck of his career, which leads me to believe he was already thinking about retirement.

I interviewed him before the fight, and he was already talking about various projects he had on the go.

It's a very similar situation to when McGuigan beat Pedroza, aging legend in retirement fund fight...

As a counterpoint, did you see the state of his face after the bout? You don't get black eyes like that from being held....Hatton landed a lot of very hurtful shots that night.

J · Post by J » 30 Dec 2005, 09:06

no snow here just minus degrees. tho they have a load in the midlands and deepest kent i believe.

snow doesnt last in cities if you get any.

generally being 10 deg F higher due to smog, buildings and cars.

but at home its fornicating cold, i might have a real fire tonight, its that cold.
(my house is 200 yrs old so not the most energy friendly in terms of drafts etc)

this time last year i was partying in Surfers before going up to to cairns for a few days diving off the barrier reef..

We've had snow up here in Yorkshire for a few days. My gf in LA thinks its cold over there at 70F. Hatton can beat Zoo, we can win the ashes, but I'd swapit all for their weather

J in fairness I'd like to see Tyuzu-Hatton 2 - not because I think Hatton got away with too much or that I think it was that close. I'd like to see if Zoo can do better and I think a long time champ deserves that much. I think Zoo may have underestimated Hatton and thought he'd blow him away early. I'm not sure Zoo will be upto Hattons speed/workrate but maybe he can something different.

Whos actually seen this fight more than once? I thought Ricky was winning it all the way on second viewing.

totally agree fella, id like to see Zoo backin the ring full stop the guy is a class act.

I also think that zoo stylistically is a nightmare for Floyd.

Id like to see that too.

Ill take 30cm of snow over 30 degress celcius any day.

I think Zoo will be looking to the winner of PBF-Judah if the winner doesn't fight DLH - which even DLH has said hes wanted. If DLH signs to fight the winner then Zoo won't find a big fight because they won't risk a DLH payday to fight Zoo. And Hattons said he sees Zoo as old ground. Maybe this will be a farewell fight

I think PBF would beat Zoo pretty easily, I don't think PBF wouldn't let Zoo anywhere near him with right hands, of course with Zoo I think it may only take 1 right to turn the fight. Zoo is a better version of Corrales and Corrales couldnt land anything. Zoos also very open to been hit - so Mays style of landing combos and bouncing back out may make it look like the Gatti fight.
