Ok whose watching it, and who do we think is gonna win?
My head says Mayweather. He's just so damn fast and accurate; scarily so.
But of course my heart says Ricky. As a lot of others have said, he needs to stay close to Floyd and box toe-to-toe. Really try and punish him before Ricky starts to cut badly.
What do we think guys?
-
I'm a Manc. Ricky all the way ;)
May be geting up early to watch it on Sky....
-
Haha.
Yeah I'm trying to wangle my way to a mates house that's got Sky. Ha.
-
I'm going to go for Hatton to stop Mayweather.
I've followed Hatton's progress for a long time and have watched boxing for years.
I've never seen anyone who can cause so much damage with body shots, as Hatton does. No one that Hatton has fought, so far, has been able to stand up to his body shots.
I don't think Mayweather will be any different.
I'm going for Hatton to win in the 7th round.
-
Interesting you say that mate.
It was a mammoth against Castillo.
Hatton just keeps coming that's the thing. Admittedly I haven't seen a great deal of his fights but he just keeps coming back for more in those that I have.
I think if he does get up in Floyd's face, Mayweather isn't gonna enjoy having absolutely zero respite. Not one bit.
The main thing that gives me comfort is that Oscar De La Hoya (in my opinion) did very well against Mayweather. In the first 6 or so rounds at least, he made Floyd look average, but then ran out of stamina.
We shall see!!!
-
I am gigging tonight and so I doubt whether I shall get to see it but if I was not, I'd be watching for sure.
-
Fight won't start until 4am STeve - surely you old farts won't be gigging until then? ;)
:lol:
-
:lol: :lol:
-
My mate's having everyone over to watch it, but knowing that lot they'll all be flaked out by 1am. I'm not THAT bothered.
:twisted:
-
Not that bothered?! Come on HTH, this is a matter of national pride!!!!!
Now I want you to ring your mate and invite yourself over there.... :lol: :twisted: :P
-
Oh cool Dave, no we shall all be done by 12.30 and home by about 1.30 so that is a result. I am calling a mate in USA when I get home and by the time we have finished talking I should get to the fight-turning into a good weekend weather notwithstanding.
-
I don't have Sky and I'm not listening on the radio, so I'll just have to see the result in the morning. :(
Not making any predictions, but I'd love to see Hatton beat that arrogant tw@t. He'll need a stoppage, he won't be getting a points win fighting an American in the USA.
-
Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear.
Beaten I hear, although I didn't stay up for the fight. what was it like?
-
Stayed up to listen on the radio.
Basically he never really did much damage to Mayweather at all.
:evil:
-
I watched it live with my mates, Hatton got knocked the $%&# out lol i had a feeling Mayweather would win that's why i placed a bet on Mayweather, though i still wanted Hatton to win, but he just couldn't hurt Floyd.
Referee has a SHOCKER though, he took a point off Hatton even though he didn't hit Floyd in the back of the head though the ref thought he did.
Mayweather kept ducking too low and then tieing up Hatton and commentators thought that should be a point off Floyd, but seriosuly with a ref like Joe Cortez you would have thought he would let Hatton fight the way he does on the inside, but everytime that happened he broke it up it was happening all the time despite saying before the fight to Hatton's camp that he would let that happen.
All in all it was a cr@p night/morning for British boxing haha.
-
Yeah the radio commentators said the same thing about the ref.
But hey, Amir Khan destroyed his opponent in the first round! :D

lol did you watch that?
That was pretty funny i have to say, great display from the Khan.
-
I saw it.
72 seconds and the guy was floored!
-
watched the fight in the pub ( hey, this is Ireland! 8) ) , wasn't hugely impressed. Mayweather got a good punch in and had the sense to follow it up well, but i think Hatton could just as easily have gotten a similar punch in. thought they were quite evenly matched for most of it.
course it was after five in the morning and i'd been on the beer for eight hours! maybe i was watching two locals in the corner! :wink:
-
Hatton was never gonna win that, too many people were betting with their hearts instead of their heads - he was out of his class, reach disadvantage, weight (and height?) disadvantage and when he got through he just didn't have the power to make it count.
That said, Mayweather is a typical egotistical ####!!, the kind everyone hates. Hatton can at least come home with his head held high... but sorry mate, that's what happens when you try to be a Bertie Big Bollocks like that.
-
Stayed up to watch the fight, damn that really messed my sleeping pattern up!
Have to say Hatton was totally outclassed, Mayweather is simply too good. Glad to see Khan win in pretty impressive style, the other guy fought like a bum though.
Anyway the fight I really would like to see is Calzaghe vs Hopkins, Champion versus Legend..
Seriousley though american boxing is of a much much higher standard than UK or European, to be a champ in America is so much harder because the competiton is so much higher. I mean Khan hasn't even fought an american yet, he really needs to be doing that soon.

Yeah i agree Khan needs to fight an American, but not set his sights too high, he's still learning and he will just get knocked out if he fights for a World title now even though he thinks he's ready!
English heavyweight Matt Skelton has a World title fight again Ruslan Chagaev (i think thats how you spell it) next year confirmed, though i can't see him winning against the 'white tyson' haha.
But yeh Calzaghe Vs. Hopkins has to happen, though this time i think the british fighter might come out on top.
