Zoo seemed to let Soliman push him around, which either means hes looking old and susceptable or hes practising taking the pressure RH will bring.

Must be the latter, he hardly threw a punch.

Tszyu never does much in sparring, He normally spars and practices small things he is working on. He is also very secretive and knowing that every one was going to see the tape he wouldn't do anything that he thinks would be an advantage for Hatton.
Also Soliman is a lot bigger than Hatton so you cant really compare the 2.

Yes, I've heard the same, he doesn't take risks in sparring, and uses them as technical workouts rather than fights. Sensible for a fighter his age, after all, if he gets injured again at this stage of his career could be the end of things.
