Will Floyd Run?

I count 21 clinches in round 11, 27 in round 12.

Then hit his opponent while the ref isnt looking. Hell, he even hits his opponent WHEN THE REF IS LOOKING.

Nard's holding-then-hit-on-the-break routine is ten times worse than Hatton's plain holding.

Cool why you bring Bernard up anyway. Im not a fan of Bernard. I hate watching his boring fights too. Bottom line is holding is illegal. Running isn't. Both Hatton and Nard are cheats.

I believe floyd will engage a lil bit but he wont be reckless with it. He still gonna carefully place his punches. He'll just do it at a higher volume than the DLH fight considering that technically Hatton is the smaller guy. Also when the fight goes to the ropes there might be some action there. hatton knows he can't outbox floyd so he will try to get him against the ropes to pound on the body the whole fight.

Floyd will run like a chicken all night. I guarantee you that.

And the judges will give him another gift decision.

This fight may be different. IMO there's big chance that Floyd will get penalized for running in this fight.

i doubt that floyd will trade with hatton. If he gets to close to hatton i reckon the win is in his favour, but if floyd uses his guerilla tactics, the fight should be in floyds favour

If anybody uses "guerilla tactics" it's Hatton. Jesus, he assaults you and tries to get to you anyway possible. How the heck is Floyd going to get away from Hatton's pressure? It's a fascinating question, now that the poll has virtually certified by a 98.5% that Floyd will not go toe to toe.

i think he will every so often exchange with hatton depending on how the fight is going

Surely, it's a round by round assessment by both fighters (and moment to moment during rounds), but a general tactical decision will be made either before or during the fight on whether or not to go toe to toe. I do think Floyd will initially confront Hatton as a test, and Hatton will quickly pass that test IMO. After that Floyd will be on his bike looking to be opportunistic.

Now we're up to over 98%. This poll practically certifies that Floyd will not go toe to toe. Could it be wrong? Is it possible (according to the poll its exactly 1.52% possible) that Floyd will go toe to toe with Hatton? No....probably not. Floyd's going backwards, and I suspect at an alarming rate. This is bad news for Mayweatherites.
