Rewatched Hatton-Mayweather

He wasn't embarrassed, but he still got KO'd decisively.

what excuse were u talkin 'bout fabz?

He did well and made the fight competitive, but he was losing the fight by a pretty significant margin on the cards.

i actually thought hatton won the fight

all i gotta say is a boxing match is a 12 round fight. coming up with the excuse he did well in the beginning is laughable. what excuse he had? i missed it.

I thought Ricky's pressure was effective for the first 4 rounds. Afterwards it was evident that his stamina tailed off and Floyd was picking his spots.

another internet tough guy, and on top of that a know-it-all:nonono: are you a professional fighter per chance:ugh: u feel like acting like an asshole for any particular reason? know it all? who are u to judge? ok, maybe u don't know much about me so i won't get too pissed off. i mean i know there are a lot of "tough guys" that say shit on the net. sorry if i came off a bit of a know it all, but i do know a thing or two. i started martial arts almost 20 years ago. i have training in karate, a bit in kickboxing, and currently train in 2 chinese boxing arts. read the damn profiles before you try to snap on people. 'cause u don't know who u are talking to otherwise. to answer your last question, no. i never felt i needed to become a professional fighter. doesn't mean i don't have experience. doesn't mean i don't know, trained, and trained with people who have went on to fight successfully. i also have had injuries that sort of limit certain aspects of what i can do. i have fighting experience, but i don't feel the need to talk about everything i have done. now, if u don't mind, what do u do? u train in boxing or fighting art? how long?

Hatton was making Floyd work harder than usual, but he wasn't landing the clean effective shots. Mayweather was. Naturally, it took Manny Steward 9 rounds to mention this. Harold Lederman once again showed his love of ineffective aggression by giving Ricky 4 of the first 6 rounds. i don't count lederman's scorecard as valid. that old fuck is never on point. and i just hate the way he bitches about things in the middle of a fight. the guy has never boxed, and none of the bios i have read on him mention him having any kind of training in either martial arts or boxing. in other words, he doesn't know shit about fighting. i have often stated my opinion that a judge, commentator, or referee should at least have boxing or martial arts training and have experience in sparring. otherwise, there is that huge gap and difference in what people like harold see and what people like me know.

What is funny is that the entire Hatton gameplan was based around the alleged strength advantage. Him and his camp spent the whole build up speculating that Floyd was weaker than him, then he got in the ring and found out otherwise. Whoops, there goes plan A and plan B and plan C and plan D, all down the drain. Muthafucka didn't have no contingency. Floyd lives the life, his conditioning is fuckin total, he has the allround strength that you just can't legislate for, the kind that can't be gotten by just isolating a few muscle groups with a few big weights. exactly. Ricky thought he was gonna through those power jabs that he landed in the first round all night and that he could be "explosively powerful" but he wore down quickly

thanks a lot man! :beerchug: yup, i know all that shit. i give a few examples: - up to .33, he was touching gloves with that weird sounding little white guy. that is a really quick bridge used here to feel out and time the opponent. i catagorize this as a type of jab when using boxing terms. in anmore boxing term way of saying it, i call it a check jab or a bridging jab. - approx .45, crossing fist. in my practice, we could spring in while throwing that. that way we basically decapitate him with a punch. - after that one, the most common hook we use - called cannon punch although there are a few different hooks and ways to throw a hook. - at 3:34, that is the exact way we use one of the most basic applications of splitting to crushing. almost exactly the same. one of the differences is that we have specific coordination methods and focus on power. we are a power hungry bunch. and to help yourself have good power, u shouldn't keep your balance as high up as he does. notice the way he slips from his blocks into offence immediately so that his defence is really his offence. read my second blog to get an idea of the kind of shit i do. see, i never liked his attitude as shown in the media, but he has worked his way into having a very solid, smart style of fighting. that video just makes me want to spar him even more! i bet for u guys it would be nice to see how he deals with someone as coordinated and quickly adaptable as he is. i will make a special trip if he ever comes near where i live. he'd be a fun guy to play with!

I thought he did well in the first 6 rounds.

Am I the only one that thinks Hatton did well until the 8th round and 9th? He did well pressuring Mayweather and giving him a tough fight What do u guys think of his performance? LEt me ask you something. Watch it again and score it. If you can give him more than 2 rounds rewatch. Repeat until you realize that Ricky Hatton was being DOMINATED. It looked like he was doing alright because he was running into Mayweather's arms and holding on. Ricky Hatton didn't land shit at all. Floyd was continually tagging and hurting Hatton with big clean shots.

After all Floyd's strategy is to discourage his opponents by making them swing air then him countering, Ricky had no plan but to put pressure on Floyd the way he knew how and if that didn't work...fukk it, keep pressuring...Floyd was thinking all along about that check hook, baiting him until he slows down for the right timing..

He did well in keeping his consistent pressure, but I never though he was gonna win the fight. He fought good. He's just not on Floyd's level.

he pressured floyd but he was not landing punches so how is that a good performance,anyone can run in but can you run in while landing punches and avoiding punches, hatton didn't against floyd

Am I the only one that thinks Hatton did well until the 8th round and 9th? He did well pressuring Mayweather and giving him a tough fight What do u guys think of his performance? hatton barely landed a clean punch the entire fight. if people want to argue that hatton did great until the 8th round, there I suppose there is an argument as to why Floyd/Hatton II should happen. I honestly believe Hatton will never beat Floyd ever and I don't really want to see Floyd/Hatton II.

hatton won 1 roudn and a draw at best....

1) Did great? No 2) Tried hard? Yes. He did great for what he could.

Hatton did great and really tried hard in that fight. What more can you ask.
