The fight will be stopped prematurely

[ßringer]

How good of a body puncher is Urango? If he is average or so... that is going to be trouble for Hatton, because Floyd goes to the body himself occasionally.

That true to a certain effect too but Urango has some solid power behind his body shots. Don't get me wrong, he's no Cotto or Trinidad by any means, but he's also no pushover. I don't think Floyd's power will be the problem for Hatton, it's definitely going to be his speed.

Remember when Mayweather ripped Gatti to the body with 4 left hooks in a row? I can see that happening to Hatton. And overtime the speed will eventually end the fight.

As I said, I see Hatton putting forth his bravest attempt against Mayweather until ultimately being stopped by the ref. Afterwards Ricky will protest like the ballsy **** he is. I just hope some people can find it in their hearts to give him credit for it.

I'm not a particular fan or either Mayweather or Hatton as you know, but I respect the **** out of both guys for very different reasons. Mayweather because he eats, sleeps and breathes boxing. Hatton because he makes the most of what he's got and he's not afraid to fight a guy who's superior to him in every aspect except power.

Both men deserve respect, and hopefull after the fight ends they'll be getting a little more around here.

There is no way he is going to be able to put a body combination together like the one he put on Gatti... Jesus Christ, I think that would have hurt anyone, he had his whole body into all of those shots. Hatton would not be 43-0 if he is susceptible to all out combinations like that.

However, I think Floyd can **** harder than most people remember, and I can't blame them, because they likely haven't watched his previous fights since De La Hoya or Baldomir. But I remember that when he sits down on his punches, they can hurt people.

Floyd's power is very underrated, people act like he's Sven Ottke or something. Regardless, I can still see Hatton having problems with his stamina late in the fight and being ripped to the body similar to the way Mayweather ripped Gatti. Don't get me wrong, Hatton on his worst day is still better than Gatti on his best, so I'm not making a direct comparison.

Hatton's stamina probably will be a problem, because Ricky said it best... there is nothing more tiring that hitting fresh air. Floyd has a tendency of making that happen.

If Hatton does get lit up by one of those insane combinations, Dios might be right about his corner throwing in the towel. If the situation is that dire, Hatton's corner will probably acknowledge that they have pretty much no chance left of winning the fight.

Hatton has only ever had a problem with his stamina once and that seems to have been due to a virus.

Cuts may be a problem. It wasnt a problem against Tyszu. Mayweather is more accurate yes, but does he throw as much anymore?

It's tough to say... he threw a lot against Judah... but not against Baldomir and DLH. That could be because of age, or it could be because he knew he couldn't hurt the latter two. We will see in December I guess.

I think you hit the nail on the head Hatton could find hiself walking into the windmills that are PBF counter's his accuracy and speed are gonna give Hatton nightmare's ,we all know Hatton's game plan steam foward be robust aggresive bend the rules a bit,use body attacks and a high work rate

i think the fight hinges on what Hatton is allowed to get away with personally ,if he does'nt get the benefit of the doubt from the referee he could have a long night i would not bet against PBF putting on real clincal show and making all of europe see how good he can be on his best night

but then again i did'nt think Pavlik would KO Taylor and still cant believe he did so what the **** do i know

Well I picked Pavlik to KO Taylor, and I'm also agreeing that if Hatton can get away with clinching it could become a "phone booth" fight. But in a fight that big I don't think the referee will allow Hatton too many holds before he takes a point. But I've been wrong before as well.

It could go to Hatton if the referee allows him to muscle Mayweather around all night and fight dirty. But I see it as a clear PBF victory by way of late TKO. Either Hatton's corner will stop the fight or the referee will intervene, Hatton needs a new face to beat Mayweather.

new face very true, i aslo have feeling the referee is not gonna be very generous to Hatton should he adapt a more physical aproach ,i think PBF may have had assurances that Hatton will not be able to get away with that kind of aproach aswell

i heard him say that Hatton is not gonna get away with the same physical aproach in the states like he did against othe fighters in England
