- FROM THE QUEENSBERRY VAULT...
It's June 2005 and Manchester hero Ricky Hatton took on by far the toughest test of his career. Kostya Tszyu was a pound for pound star and a big favourite to defeat 'The Hitman' and retain his IBF World Super Lightweight Championship. Hatton had other ideas...

You serious bro Ricky boxed kicked the living fks out of him
Ricky-H’s real hug boxing .
Only Paqueao gave him to know World boxing !
Nice to see a channel uploading new content during these times of isolation good on ya frank 🥊
The amount of wrestling and clinching that the referee allowed was criminal!.No other referees would ever allow that.

Agreed. British blow job by that ref
It look like the WWE the first shot to the back of the head all wrestling and then warning Kosta. Somebody got paid.
Wrong, happens all the time
Especially when it benefits one guys style so much to let them wrestle and not punch. It’s unfortunate
I agree with the others here...Hatton just bum rushed his opponent, hugged him, pushed him against the ropes, and those poor excuse for announcers acted as it Hatton had done something great. Every time that Kostya Tszyu hit Hatton with a good punch, they just said that that was a good punch, but when Hatton barely tagged Kostya Tszyu, they said, "Oh, and Kostya Tszyu is staggered by that punch!" Talk about biased announcers! When I heard that Hatton was going to face Pac Man, I knew that the Pac Man would knock Hatton out, because Hatton has no style, he is easy to hit, and I've seen him get staggered in other fights. I like what Pac Man said after the fight when he was being interviewed in the ring. He said, "I didn't think it would be that easy."
Haven't seen this much hugging since the last family reunion
i couldn't agree more haha
Lol
It’s called love at first fight
That's right, maybe he thinks he's on a family reunion... 😊
Hahahaha must have a good family.
This is the style of hatton wrestling.
He knew Tzsyu had strong hands anytime he might get knocked out reason he hugged alot.
Shame on Ricky 👎
When your coach says, lead with a jab but you insist on leading with a hug.
With Hatton CONSTANTLY holding if i were the referee I would have warned Hatton in EVERY round!
bad losers
Wasn't holding he was fighting on the inside u fool
@@ChristopherSmith-pk6ek fighting on the inside? Holding Kostyas arms isn't fighting on the inside
Tszyu boxed on the inside Hatton held and through uppercuts. Hatton should have had atleast 7 rounds deducted points.
@@ChristopherSmith-pk6ekChristopher smith prick. You’re wrong
Hatton consistently hit AFTER the bell and was not warned ONCE
British referee
Ricky 'The Hug Man' Hatton
This fight was funny.
1. As a Challenger he got the home court advantage.
2. The commentators was way to biased and obvious can only see Hatton's punch or just ignored Tsztyu punch, every round they associate Hatton with great and incredible round from him. Keeps on hyping Hatton even on a missed punch or being hit by tszyu. They acknowledge that the crowd reacts on Hatton more but they were worse.
4. They even give Hatton a 3 points lead after 6 rounds but a round by round expert scorecard showed Tsztyu was up 4 points and they completely ignored the scorecard update.
5. The 7th round KO was actually a good punch and after round 8th they even talk about concern and will Tsztyu's corner stop the fight.
6. The fight only change by a low blow and from that moment Tsztyu was never really into the fight.
7. The stoppage for me was really weird, had the lead or tied going into the 12th and just surrender like that.
IMO, Hatton had the win before it began.
Jesus av never seen anyone cuddle so much in boxing sooooo sweet
It is like Tsyu GAVE the fight to Hatton - very strange.
Sq12Sq22u22 after watching it again I'm thinking the same thing, coming to the end and offered an extra big payday I'm thinking! Something didn't look right, you can clearly hear Lewis call it the moment tzu sat down! He clearly out boxed dirty Ricky and the ref allowing those tactics should never ref again.
Something not right.
it makes no sence 1 round to go ? well 40- 1 odds ? has ? something to do ?
Hatton was on drugs like Aaron Pryour vs Alexis Arguello. You could tell, non stop, unlike his other fights. Looked fishy to me. It sucked because it wasn't a clean victory.
Kostya quit.Hatton was an okay fighter,but not great.The home crowd took the heart out of tszyu.Dissappointing !!!
Thank you for the upload
Love all the uploads, thanks Queensberry, this will be hard for me to watch as a big Kostya Tszyu fan, only seen the fight one time, nothing against Ricky he did what he had to do to win
It wasn't a clean and fair fight.
@@ambroselake9156 Hatton was a brawler not a boxer
@@MicahNstuff exactly he took boxing to a new leel
there was a ref there@@ambroselake9156
Mostly wrestling very little boxing the referee was clueless or it was a fix very disappointing. If it was refereed properly Tszyu would probably win by knockout or at least TKO. Another great fighter gets robbed of his title by a crooked system.
Tszyu quit on his knees stating he had never had such a battering in his life. I was at the fight.
Not a Hatton fan then.
Awesome fight, thanks Queensberry Promotions for uploading without regional lock, cheers from Mexico!
That wonderful reply by Hatton in the 9th was delicious.
Hatton and kotsya , both were my favourite fighters....
watching this alogside the Costello and Cunce interview, with Hatton. makes the low blow in the 9th even more powerfull
Hatton saying "He's a bit like an MFI wardrobe!" 🤣 🤣 🤣

The retaliatory punch in the knackers was an absolute tactical master stroke.
He should have been instantly disqualified.
That changed the fight getting your nuts knocked out your arse. Been hit flush with a cricketball took about 20 mins to feel good again.
a deliberate shot to the balls. A deliberate foul. The ref let it go. He didnt want to jeopardize his payday from the Hatton camp
Every fighter usually gets a slight edge from his home country judges but in England it's taken to another level. If they're guy is competitive at all he'll get the decision. This fight up until the 6th round is a perfect example( I haven't watched past the 6th yet ). The commentators were doing their usual job of hyping whatever Hatton was doing. They didn't seem to be too biased during some of the rounds, calling Tszyu's name fairly often when he deserved it, but somehow his efforts weren't giving him the round in their mind. After the 6th, one commentator asked the other, and the 1st guy said Hatton should be ahead by 3 points, the other guy said yes, 3 or 4 points for Hatton. Just then their official scorer, a guy named Jim Watts flashed his scorecard on the screen, it had Tszyu ahead by 2 rounds at 58-56. He had the same score I had and each round scored as I did, the first 2 for Hatton, the next 4 for Tszyu.
The difference of opinion between them equaled 5 or 6 points. A 5 or 6 point difference is ridiculous given only 6 rounds had been fought up to then. Even though the commentators aren't professional judges, they've seen more fights then most or all and therefore should have developed some accuracy, if indeed they didn't have good scoring skills to begin with. Isn't it ironic that the commentators agree with each other and were just about in lock step, with the official scorer being the odd man out, despite being the 'official scorer'.
The commentators and judges in England will be biased against one of their own if both fighters are British, favoring one sometimes heavily over the less well liked British lad. Yes I have an example; For whatever reason British fans love to dislike Chris Eubank Jr. I sort of understand why they don't seem to like him, having to do with his father and partially due to Jr. himself. I happen to see it the opposite way; I like both of the Eubank's, in the ring and out of the ring, but the Brit's struggle to find a polite word for them. I first noticed this when Jr. fought Billy Joe Saunders. He's a talented boxer but at the time only an English belt champion, and Eubank was showing great promise as well. The styles were far different and the fight was pretty ugly for the most part.
The officials had Saunders ahead by 4-0 after 4 rounds, some had it 5-0 after 5 rounds and others 6-0 after 6 rounds. At that point the fight is nearly over, let's say it's 5-0 after the 5th with 7 rounds left...…..... Jr. needs to win all of them, or 6 of the 7 with one even round in order to win the fight. Saunders needed only 1 of the 7 rounds remaining to secure no worse then a draw, and one even round after that to secure the win. That's more or less what happened however.
The judges and commentators were extremely biased toward Saunders so when Eubank started winning round after round, they began hedging and conniving to make sure that they had Saunders winning one way or the other. The scoring was extremely close, Saunders winning by split decision. Given the bias factor, I think the scores were close enough to say that Eubank won the fight. The judge that favored Eubank Jr. had it 116-113. The two judges that scored it for Saunders scored it 115-113 and 115-114. That tells me that one judge gave Jr. a 7-4-1 score in terms of rounds, a solid win from a likely biased judge. The 2 judges that had it for Saunders apparently found a way to squeeze out a couple of points from somewhere. I n a biased scenario like it was, if the fight should have been scored a draw by most opinions, then the judges would have their favorite fighter winning by 3 to 5 points, I've seen even wider scores in very close fights and always favoring toward the bias obviously. Generally the way to recognize if bias will occur in the judges scoring is to listen to the commenters rhetoric. If their comments are very biased toward one of the fighters then you can bet the judges are in on the game as well. Very biased commentary occurs because someone has paid for it or has other influences over the commentators. If that's true then the same scenario will play out in the scoring. It wouldn't make sense to pay off the commentators to create a winning atmosphere for a particular fighter without spreading the money around under the judges table.
Your perspective on this fight is interesting and gibberish. I was at the fight and I will tell you how the fight ended, Tszyu quit on his knees. He said he had never had such a battering from start to finish.
Are you for real? Home commmentary and bias? They were Australian commteners. The 'unofficial' card was by a UK ex-boxer. Doh.
@@peterhandy2551 UK ex-boxers are the worst. Why do you think a UK ex-boxer would be fair when a Brit is in the fight? If you don't think that Brit commentators are extremely biased maybe that's because you're just as biased as they are. Who won between Eubank and Saunders? How about between Eubank and Groves? I'll bet you have Eubank losing both, when in fact he won both. The most outrageous bias was Eubank vs Nick Blackwell. Watch it and tell me the commentators weren't biased. They had the fight 3-2-1 after 6 rounds. Eubank won every round in the fight easily. At the end former Brit fighter Richie Woodall said, 'let's face it, Blackwell was always in the fight'. He was never in the fight, not from the first minute of the first round.
@ that has nothing to do with the opinion I offered based upon the first 6 rounds.@@icarus877
@@icarus877yeah tire your opponent by clinching alot and not allowing him to box Tyson Fury style
Prime Kostya would have sparked Hatton early. Still Ricky got a very good win hear and probably the best moment of his career.
Don't be daft
solid cake it’s true
Floyd even ducked him
@@Vidshares101 even prime de la hoya and Shane Mosley never said his name and beat around the bush when his name was mentioned.years after he retired Oscar said "Kostya tszyu was a animal"
Ssecrett Mmee Floyd called kostya out so many times he never ducked him ,if anything tszyu ducked Floyd
The best hugging dance !
What a fight! 👍
Kostya's usual weight draining from 80+ kgs down to 63.5 seems to finally catch up with him this fight - he didn't have the crisp, sharp laser-guided right hand to nail Hatton who was jumping in - it was clear also that Tzsyu didn't have his legs under him for much of this fight as he tried to pivot away from Hatton's battery of frontal assaults, yet Hatton dug in and ground Kostya down.
Despite this fight which was played at 2am in front of a very hostile crowd Tzsyu ought to go down as one of best of all time 140 pounders.
kostya was never 80 plus kg
Age
U can’t cut 17kg lol impossible unless you cut of a leg or something
That had nothing to do with anything. He was an old man. a Shell of him self, No speed, no reflexes left.
This win gave Hatton a wrong confidence that he can handle the real deals in 140 to 147lbs. Or he is a real HITMAN. He never really hurt Tzsu. The dude just gas out and cant longer make it. Look what happened whe he fought Floyd and Pacman
Yep.
Well Manie took
Care of things in the end hey ... PROPER
I thought Kostya was ahead on the score cards, that low blow really knocked what wind he had left out of his sails.
It was also Kostyas first fight for 18 months.
Many forget Kostya was pushing 40 during this fight. And Hatton was 22. And Hatton still had to fight dirty and cuddle the entire fight to get a win. Kostya in his prime would have ended Hatton inside of 6.
All credit to Hatton. He won. He would be a clear dog in a prime vs prime fight with kostya
@@finally_startingtopost
Ricky was way younger than Kostya in this fight ! 🤣🤣🤣
7 months but that was a 3rd rd tko of sharmba Mitchell his fight before that was 23 months prior
@@prototypep4 kostya was 36 and Ricky was 27
Still think he had the style to really upset Floyd, the ref didn’t let him fight his fight and it’s a damn shame. People talk about corruption throughout Floyd’s career but that fight was the only one I genuinely feel was corrupt with the refereeing
You’re not allowed to clinch constantly or hold and hit. Imagine being mad at a ref for enforcing the rules because it doesn’t let someone “fight their fight” AKA break the rules at will
How can it be corrupt when hatton got knocked out?... Also boxing is not street fighting
@@jumbo-wu2cf when inside fighting is Hattons style, the ref wouldn’t let it happen. I consider Floyd the best ever of the modern era but this fight convinced me he had officials on the payroll. Hatton had the style to beat him but wasn’t given the fair shot
@@jumbo-wu2cf I’m not saying Floyd wouldn’t win but you rewatch that fight and tell me Hatton had a fair shot! I’m no conspiracy theorist but I rank Pac-Man above Floyd for fighting and beating the best, at their best. Surely agree with me in saying floyd and ‘0’ ruined boxing these days because the top guys value an undefeated record as opposed to L’s against top opposition? Who’s your p4p best right now man? Mines canelo or Loma (robbed against Haney imo)
Was there. What a night
Ricky always hugging , it made the opponent soo tired tsktsk
As a neutral, I would say they both clinched, its called infighting. If anything Hatton did less hitting and holding than Tszyu.
“Looked a little bit low” LMAO. Understatement of a lifetime. Hatton “hugged/wrestle” a lot but not out of fear but strategic. Setting up his style. Almost like a heavyweight. Negated the speed of his weight class. I’ve learned to appreciate it.
That wasn't boxing, it was rugby
The english.....
Was a nice gift
I didnt know hitting was allowed in a wrestlingmatch.
I didn't know that punching was allowed in boxing
This was Kostya's last fight after 13 years as a pro fighter. I have no doubt the young Kostya would have had Ricky's measure, but taking nothing away form the British champ. Ricky only lost three times in his career. To two of the greatest of all time: Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, and to the outstanding Ukrainian, Vyacheslav Senchenko
Kostya didn't make weight for that fight and considering the amount of relentless clinching the referee allowed, and the devasting and loud low blow, and in enemy territory, he was picking Hatton apart and winning. It didn't seem or sound like that because the crowd and even the English commentators made the fight sound as though Hatton was winning when he wasn't. Watch the fight without any sound.
@@richardchamoun7649 ,He was a pompom girl for Hatton for sure
Get over it Richard, this was a long time ago, Kostya lost plain and simple. He didn't come out for round 12.

At this moment Hatton was displaying power, pressure and stamina, this gave him the courage to think he could beat Mayweather.
Hitman?
He hugging him down!🤪
The ref made them break every clutch taking it away from Tszyu
Half of you complaining Hatton clinched to much ( while Tyzsu held as much or more) now you saying Tszysu wasn't allowed to hold by the ref. Hilarious. Others calling bias from the Aussie commentators against the Aussie fighter. Couldn't make it up ... But you did. 😂
I feel Tszyu hit the weights too much before this one. Too much resistance exercise and it slowed him down, made him tight. This is only my opinion.
Ricky is shit boxer
Ricky hit and hold hatton! Dirty fighter 😢
Hatton knew he couldn't out box him.
Костя самый лучший в мире был и будет
A great wrestling match, but a lousy boxing match.
I stumbled onto this fight on RUclips. This was not exciting to me. I couldn't watch the entire "fight". People say Mayweather held & ran during his career but gee. Lots of holding and head-butting in this match.
Perfect match up for horn and hatton...same style
@@GranadaHouseMedia Hatton is a lousy fighter. He's a wrestler. When he fights real talent you see how bad he really is.
@@raythornton8578 My favorite punch of all the boxing I've watched was the one punch The Pac Man put on Hatton's chin, knocking him out and ending the fight. He flattened Hatton.
Estaba seguro que kostya ganaría, pero ni modo así es esto, saludos desde México
Kostya Tszyu was very frustrated with Hatton's wrestling. Hatton puts his head down, hands up and comes straight in and grabs, no matter what.
Hatton is good as wrestler always hugging seems like a biniboy.
He always keeps coming forward. Give him some credit.
Any other referee than Dave Parris and this fight could've had a very different outcome.
Had Hatton & the referee made this a boxing match instead of a wrestling 🤼♂️ match. Hatton would’ve been sleeping 😴 before round 4. This is one of the sloppiest fights in history.

Ricky was on the front foot for all eleven rounds ........but a big up to Kostya ...a real champ !
He was not boxing just lots of hugs from him
Hatton really a dirty rugged fighter..
A lot of clinching, behind the head punches... the “bully” style seems to me as a well polished bar fight. Not pretty, not flashy but it’s still a fight. Kostya Tszyu our up a decent fight far as his age here. Hatton Nd his straight forward lack of defense style, shows how he got his ass beat by Mayweather !
what a ackward style hatton had in the fight, holding head butting, he . . .practically wrestled away the victory . .
how was it really a huge upset? one guy was young and had 38 pro fights undefeated..the other guy was getting old and had fought the toughest the world had to offer and won..but he was not young any more and i feel if he had come out for the final round victory could have still been his. One fighter will be remebered more than the other.
This is classic street fight, both fighters forget the real boxing

There are fighters like that today, its not anything special, its a fighting style, high action, high energy. Oh yeah they existed in the 1800s as well
Hatton's dirty tactics did not work well against Pacquiao. It only took 2 rounds and he was already sleeping on the canvass.
Hatton got it all wrong against pacman. It doesn't take away anything from this night tho. Kosta is one of the best at 140 the world has ever seen. Hatton was younger, fresher and hungrier. Hatton was the best fighter of his generation at 140. Pacman and mayweather were 2 of the p4p greats of all time, he went up in weight to fight them both. When he fought pacman, he was fighting the best boxer on the planet. A boxer so good that 'money' mayweather avoided the biggest payday of his life for years to avoid him.

This is the first time I have watched a fight of Ricky Hatton that goes past the 2nd round.

Ricky Hatton was a dirty fighter.
Hatton is fighting the same style over and over again..
No es lo mismo agarrar aún viejo acabado que aunó de su edad pobre carrera tszyu nada que ver con la carrera de JC
Fantastic fight. Pound for pound Ricky Hatton was a magnificent brawler. Physically very very strong, rough and unrelenting. Think about the only time his style didn't work in his prime was against 2 of the greatest fighters in our generation. Not bad, not bad at all lad.
He almost troubled Mayweather with that rough style in the beginning of the fight until the ref kept interfering and didn't allowed him to fight his fight, that discombobulated Ricky. What Ricky should have probably done was to dismiss the ref and continue doing what he's doing disqualification or whatnot because if he can't fight as Ricky Hatton it might have been better not to fight at all. With Pacquiao fight, It's just too much for him. He was getting hit with so much clean heavy punches when he tried to get inside. Pacquiao was too accurate--just too good for him. But it's okay, he was dealing with one of the greatest fighter in the history of boxing.
Completely agree with your assessment. Joe Cortez is a mayweather gym homeboy.
This is an old Kostya who went through a 2-3 fight phase of trying to outbox his opponent.he was even boo'd by his fans during if wins.a prime tszyu would have done Hatton in.i have Kostya and Aaron Pryor the best 140pounders ever
Fantastic fights: 1. Ricky Hatton vs Floyd Mayweather Jr; 2. Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao (flowers victory
). 3.Ricky Hatton vs Vyacheslav Senchenko. Ricky Hatton in the end is a loser and sucker!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao that 'referee' excuse is only viable for the first 2 rounds and then he let them get on with it on the inside, but Floyd was constantly catching Hatton with clean counters on his way in and by the middle of the fight it was actually Floyd who was roughing up Hatton on the inside and doing the better work up close - Floyd beat him at his own game. Hatton and his fans will never admit it though but it's all on film.
Bull-sh*t, Mayweather was the more professional all Pac-Man had to do was watch the video of the fight...fuc*ing jerk...
Man Hatton was one dirty fighter
