Anyone lucky enough to see that live and anyone who saw it on TV were lucky people!!! I loved every second!

I had to give up my ringside ticket tonight due to family reasons but I am still soooo happy!!!! that was an amazing performance and I can't wait to say 'I told you so!!' to all my boxing mates! I thought Rickys workrate and commitment would be too much and it was! (secretly I thought Ricky might get knocked out in the 2nd or 3rd )

What a great and legendary champion Kostya Tszyu was though and a dignified and gallant loser although he did slightly take the shine off Rickys win by retiring on his stool... but he has earnt the right to do that that and claerly gave it his all in the 11th to try to sneak a knockout.

GREAT advert for boxing and an awesome night for British sport

Top night, thought he'd have walked onto a Tszyu right sooner or later and have been taken out !!

Well done Ricky for beating one of the VERY BEST in the world today

I'd love to see Eamon Magee get another shot at him

Hatton is quality, but you have to remember Tszyu is at the end of his carrer even though he was still excellent. Be interesting to see what fight comes next

No tricks or contacts I'm afraid I just buy the tickets from normal places or get my pants pulled down by a Tout. Well worth it though, I love big sports events. I'm off to NZ to watch second and third Lions tests in a few weeks.

Well done again to Ricky! what a legend!! I just loved the mutual respect both fighters showed each other before, during and after the fight.

He DID walk on to a Tszyu punch at the start of EVERY Round!!! Make no mistake, that was Tszyu at his very very best. He is a true pro and was thoroughly prepared. Ricky just fought him the way he had to by jumping on him and outworking him with relentless aggression. Ricky CAN box as well and has shown that in other fights but he would have got murdered if he tried to outbox Tszyu... it was an amazing performance

Magee gave him a good fight last time but Ricky has moved on and up in class now.

Watched it live this mornin! Only just got up.

Ricky was awesome you could see he was in the shape of his life and was super confident. His work rate is phenominal, thought he'd go to the body more tho. I was a bit uncertain wether he could take Tszyu's biggest punches but he did and showed his conditioning.

Best boxing I've seen for ages, Tszyu was galant in defeat and Ricky has finally proved what a great he really is and beat the best.

Fookin knackered tho.

ARMOURER

Been waiting to see this fight for 4 years and glad Ricky done it at last. Would like to see him go over to America and give Cotto a kick-in and shut the Americans up once and for all

Filthy Rich

Magee does what he thinks is enough in the early rounds of a fight and then gets lazy,doubt if he'd make that mistake again??

So the only other light welters in the 'super league' are IMHO

Mayweather Jr , who'll never come to the UK

OR

Gatti who as a true fighter will fight anywhere in the world to fight the best! Hatton / Gatti would have the makings of the Ward / Gatti trilogy,the first fight which Ward won has to rank in my top 5 fights of all time

IF

Ricky now wants to move on and be remembered as one of the 'greats' these are the fights he must be looking to take and he'll probably have to fight in the U.S. to get them

Will be very interesting to see.Again well done Ricky

The Ward Gatti fights are legendary and Gatti is a true warrior BUT I think Ricky would really bash him up... wouldn't want to see Gatti hurt, wish he would just retire the nutcase!

Big G

Awesome performance by a fellow super blue

A true credit to British sport is that lad

What you gotta remember though is that now Hatton holds the trump cards to the big fights, and IS NOW the man to beat
