Names are names, and with Hatton's early televised fights especially, it would be hard to name them. I'm a Hatton fan, but I'm not blind to the favoritism shown to him by officials since he always fights at home. It was evident in the Tszyu fight even, but, of course, not an issue.
I've watched every Hatton fight and he's never been shown any bias, i think your jumping on the bangwagon along with all the other people who have never seen him fight :o
:mad: the first time you see mausso stumble the ref will stop the fight :mad:
Does this mean you want to be known as a retard and like getting bad karma???
There is one reason and one reason only that I think that the fight won't be ended early if Maussa "so much as wobbles".
Hatton is heavily the favorite and EVERYONE involved is going to want to see an extreme domination. I think that there may be more than a slight amount of pressure to let Hatton pummel then fully knock out Maussa.
If there is a problem, it might be that the fight is allowed to go on too long so that Hatton can show domination by getting the KO even if Maussa is out on his feet.
Don't forget, referees are also trying to build reputations too. The ones who get to ref the huge televised fights (and this is big potatoes for England) are going to know that the eyes of the world are on them.
Yes I believe that Hatton will win. But I am not partisan. Hatton's the better boxer, in great condition and Maussa's style seems to suit Hatton beautifully. However Maussa would be an entertaining champ. I wish them both luck and primarily hope for a controversy free fight.
Boxing needs more unification fights. It also helps when they prove to include entertaining fighters like Maussa.
It's on BBC Radio 5 Live according to my guide. Annie sent me a link to a TV streaming service that's putting it on. Do you want the details pm'ing?
yeh he might never ref him again, is this card going out on any radio tonight do you know
Hehe. It is his patch though, being a Leeds lad. It must be pretty emotional for him if Hatton's going off to the US as reported. :D
lol ive just texted a mate he said he saw vann at the weigh in so prob him lmao hes had the last one off so prob getting withdrawl symptoms
you state that some of his fights are stopped early though, if its that evident then how come you cant name them, if its an issue then surely youd be able to provide the fights that u thought this was the case, i'll be very surprised if tonights fight gets stopped the first time maussa 'wobbles' he seems to wobble walking to the ring :D
im sure you know what i mean tho his style is so herky jerky
Do you know who's reffing tonight matey?

I can't recall one Hatton fight that's been stopped early to be honest. I'm trying to think which ones you could mean but Tackie went the distance, Oliveira stayed down for the count, Stewart was right to be stopped and Phillips went the distance. Hatton's been so dominant in the other fights that he's won by stoppage that you couldn't really argue against it.
I'm sure you're right. My mind is not at it's best now. I bet I was thinking Tackie. Another African. My bad. But that is not the only fight that I've seen from Hatton where I thought that the stoppage was early.

Hatton's never fought N'dou.

name them, hatton has only been hurt a small number of times in his career, only over once, hes never been in a really give and take fight, his hardest night was obviously vs tszyu, what hatton fights in your opinion been waived off early
Ndou, the latest.

That has happened before, I know. I'll preach on here all day about how Hatton is the guy that Mayweather doesn't want, but I won't say that this is not the truth. I've cursed the damn limeys many times watching a fight get waived off involving Hatton when both guys were hurt.
