I seen the fight and though i thought Wayne lost it wasnt by them margins no way.
Wayne did hurt him in a number of occasions he was really working to the body.
Naz fight
Wayne has been unlucky, I thought Wayne won the Naz fight but was never going to get the dcision because of Naz hometown.
Morales fight
Morales was just that little bit stronger but he give him one helluva fight.
Morales even said that the fight against Wayne was his third toughtest and Morales has been in some tough ones.
Harrison fight
Against Harrison, no excuses completly out muscled. Harrison looked like a Welterweight though.
Rematch
wayne should really have got a fight before this rematch to keep fresh for the later rounds. I think he could win it and then retire on a high.
Hatton should have went over to America along time ago but because of his promoter being a leech it wont happen.
Why would that warren bring him over to challenge in america when he can make shitloads of money selling out arenas in manchester fighting Class b opposition.
hatton has fought some good fighters i will give him, tackie, Olivera, Magee, Philips.
I feel Eammon Magee could have beat him but he went in there with the wrong game plan.
But he has never been in the lions den were he has got thousands intimidating him he has always fought at home. The great fighters travelled into other peoples backyards and fought. He has never experienced that.
All credit Kostya for taking this fight and i just feel he will have too much for Hatton, but it would not be a huge upset if Hatton won.
Look for hatton to fight the same way he did against Magee and Philips he will be cautios and move in and out and make angles.
Kostya cant let him dominate he has to establish his jab early on and throw some of his body shots aswell.
Who knows how Hatton will react to them.
kostya for me late KO
If Morales sticks to a plan and dosent get sucked in then he should get the decision. But he is there to entertain, these guys are too rare fighters who aernt there just fo the money but to give the fans what they want. Morales wont get stopped though.
I will pick MORALES but i wouldnt bet on it.
Look what the guy needs is for somebody in the game who he respects to bring him in2 a room and tell him in no uncertain terms that he is shot, finished old whatever, and dont let him leave the room until he agrees bring him in show him his last couple of fights but dont let him leave the room until he agrees.
Who's going to give the talk, Don King yeah right that guy doesnt give a shit.
He is definetly one of my favorite fighters and i hate to see him like this.
Hopkins wont lose the fight and he wouldnt even think about throwing a fight not even if they put 50 million in front of him the guy has some dignity.
Hopkins decision or late stoppage.
He would be a fool if he did.
Comebacks like these usually never end while, you may get the odd exception but its not a good idea. I hope he does comeback and get beat though. Not a fan of his never was never will be.
He has been in some all-time classic fights and not alot of the A level fighters can even say that.
Trilogy with Micky ward check that out.
He has alot of fans because he may not be the best but he certainly gives his best.
Im a fan but that wouldnt cloud my judgment Zoo would beat him.
Morales is a top fighter. MAB won the fight the best morales could have hoped for was a draw. The turning point in the fight was the second round when MAB got him with that uppercut right to the point of the nose. That was a sore one. That may have broke his nose. He could move to lightweight. If i were him i would stay and fight PAC MArquez and Barerra again.
It would definetly sell out. Whether Morales wants any part of it though i dont think so. It wont happen right away. Morales wouldnt want to get beat by Barera again.
Moslet is a great example of failing moving up in weights and RJJ. If Mosley ditched the protein shakes got a nutrionist in he could make Welter easily.
The fight wasnt fixed. Oscar just has a week heart as well as his kidney been weak. Hopkins was just starting to really getting to him. They might not have looked like wild power shots but they were getting to Oscar. Bernard has such good physical strength.
He ruled an era which wasnt all that good.
He beat an over the hill holyfield. If he had fought the holyfield of 91 92 it would be a differnt story.
Holyfield could fight for 3mins of every round back then unlike when he fought lewis it was just bits of rounds he fought.
Holyfield is on the top of the list of the 90's above tyson and above Lewis. Forget about the losses recently.
By the way it is up to holyfield to make up his own mind when to retire not some commision. I want him to retire but i wont tell him too. That's for the ppl close to him to do.
I like winky. He's so underappreciated so respectful to his opponents. He's from the old school like Hopkins that's the biggest compliment i can give him. IMO Hopkins beats him though. Winky should stay and rule the lightmiddle divisio and there are alot of good fights there without moving to MW.
Ali would have came out for the last round and kep him at bay long enuf. Fraizer is double tough though. So is Ali. It was like 100degrees or something. The heat was mad.
Mayweather isint even a legit light welter yet has he fought at the weight like twice or something. Gatti has improved under McGirt. Who knows it will be interesting if it takes place.
