    THE REAL December 9th Headline

    'MAYWEATHER LIGHTS UP VEGAS IN A BITTER CLASSIC' - Go to Page 3

    Page 3:

    It was the fight Ricky Hatton had been waiting years for, and last night,
    infront of a packed crowd of Casino goers and boxing fans, Hatton and
    P4P King, Floyd Mayweather Jr settled their differences.

    It started well for Hatton, Mayweather looked confused by Hatton's jab, and a strong body shot(Hatton's best of the night) seemed to stun the P4P King for a moment. But a smile silenced any doubters.

    By round 5, Mayweather had taken control of the fight, jabbing and crossing his way to a points decision, displaying his masterful footwork and stamina.

    When the result was announced, (A wide UD decision for Mayweather) there were loud cries of dissaproval. But this fight will not be debated in the same manner as Mayweather's previous bout, against Oscar de la Hoya.

    'He was fast - Faster than I thought.' Hatton said post-fight. 'He's a great champion, and I really thought I could do it. I piled on the pressure hard, but maybe I took my foot of the gas in the later rounds. But hats off to him, he was the better man tonight and I hope maybe in the future he'll give me another chance.'

    Ricky Hatton, suffers his first Loss on his career record.

    Now, what's next for the Hitman?

    'I'm going to go back to England and talk with my team and Billy Graham, and we're going to be back next summer maybe. Right now, I just want to enjoy Christmas with my kid, and see where I go from here.'

    Got this with my time-machine. Anybody want any other newspapers from the future, let me know.

    Now this was well thoughtout, actually sounded like it was from a newspaper and was pretty well written. You could have made it about Hatton winning and still would have gotten the praise I just gave. Very nice job budd.

        Mayweather may not say it, but at the end of the fight he will be thinking, "man this little white guy was faster than I thought".

            I piled on the pressure hard, but maybe I took my foot of the gas in the later rounds

            it was all good until then, but talking about taking his foot off the gas in the later rounds, ricky gets stronger as the fight goes on and piles more pressure on. good read though lol most will probs be correct what you wrote unfortunately
