It was a good fight, but very poorly called.  The referee allowed it to get as dirty as it could have been, but only gave "warnings", and never bothered to penalize either boxer. 

Tszyu had an obvious knockdown in the fight, but the ref called it a low blow.  Now I can somewhat give him a pass for that, but then you're not going to penalize Tszyu for it?  Later in the fight, after Tszyu was warned for a low blow, Hatton lept in with a low blow that was obviously intentional.  Once again, no point deduction.

There is no excuse for Tszyu to quit in that fight; I don't care if he was losing every round (and the judges as well as the press had the fight pretty close throughout).  But Tszyu will think twice about going overseas to fight another contender in his home country.  That was probably the most rabidly biased crowds that I've seen in for a fight, and there's no question it gave Hatton the edge intensity-wise and probably influenced the judges as well.

Tszyu should have finished the fight, and it was wrong for his trainer to tell him to quit when there was no dehabilitating injuries.  This is the 2005 equivalent to "No Mas", and it has tarnished an otherwise great career.

But regardless, Ricky Hatton deserves props.  He is a very scrappy fighter, and gave Tszyu all he could handle in this fight, and then some.  Coming in as a 4-1 underdog, Hatton had nothing to lose.  However, I hope there's a rematch, and it'll be on American or even Australian soil.  I doubt it, but we'll see.
