Hatton: "My Heart Will Explode Before He Beats Me"

And he hits harder.

And don't pretend that Mayweather's win over De La Hoya was anything other than an extremely close fight, closer in fact that Hatton's win over Collazo was.

That is absolutely not true.

1) Hatton was legitimately in danger of being stopped. Mayweather was never hurt.
2) The fight was one "off-balance-but-not-hurt" Collazo KD away from a draw or Louise victory.
3) Mayweather was finishing strong in his bout. Pulling away. Hatton was on fumes. He couldn't go another round.

And he hits harder.

Did I just enter some alternative universe where Louise Collazo became some kind of killer?

Because, to be honest, I had not really heard much about Collazo BEFORE the Hatton fight, and I'd be surprised if we hear much from him going forward.

I had to go back and check... but Louise was fighting 'six-rounders' two fights prior to Hatton. And has been KO'd by a Welterweight named Cassiani. True Story.

after hatton loses i wonder what the excuses will be

"hatton isn't good at 147"

Hatton wasn't in danger of being stopped, he wasn't even knocked down. Being hurt once is not the same as being nearly knocked out, unless you're willing to concede that Mayweather was nearly knocked out by Corley. Hatton won 115-112, 115-112, 114-113 UD. One point would have made it 115-113, 115-113, 114-114 MD. Mayweather won 116-112, 115-113, 113-115, split decision one point away from a majority draw. And Hatton may have finished badly, but fights are scored based on a round by round basis. I thought you would have known this.

Did I just enter some alternative universe where Louise Collazo became some kind of killer?

No you didn't. But he still hits harder than Baldomir, based on him having the same number of knockouts with half the number of fights. If you want to decry Collazo as "feather fisted" then be my guest, but you then have to concede that TaTa is more feather fisted than Collazo.

you always know when DIOS DOMINICANO is getting pissed off when he replies to a thread about 50 times in a minute.

LOL at the comments in this thread turns out he needed a head doctor as well . Also how funny that his corner was throwing in the towel when the fight ended guess they didn't hear his I will die before I lose bravado

[El Jesus]
