Mayweather planning to sustain pressure first 4 rounds?

hatton wide ud or ko b4 the 9th

I HIGHLY suggest that you take all the equity out of your house and bet it on Hatton.

When I said 'sustain' in the title, I meant this:

2. to bear (a burden, charge, etc.).
3. to undergo, experience, or suffer (injury, loss, etc.); endure without giving way or yielding.


but it seems 'sustain' also means this:

5. to keep up or keep going, as an action or process: to sustain a conversation


Anyway, my point was that Mayweather was planning to soak up pressure from Hatton in the first 4.

I think this is a dangerous tactic by Mayweather. He also looks complacent.

I am respecting your opinion. That is why I am encouraging you to drain your 401(k) in order to place a bet on Hatton.

You can easily get more than 2x your money.

Go for it, bro. It's a sure thing.

I'd rather earn them, life's not won on a roll of the dice.

On the contrary. He is indicating that he will relax and weather the storm the first 3 or 4 rounds.

This mutha****a is like the Rain Man of boxing. He is fairly clueless when it comes to alot of ****. But...you gotta admit that he is so smart and relaxed when it relates to boxing.

He knows what that little pink bum is gonna do. And he knows exactly how to take Hatton down.

You could see the confidence of Floyd's face.

Dios, cut the semi-racial editorials....."pink" ......lol. That little pink meade swiller is one viscious little man. Floyd's got his work cut out for him. If he comes in underestimating Hatton, and I truly think he may, he's in for a Rocky Balboa surprise....ie...Apollo: "I don't want no rematch." Mark my words.

Oh, how perceptions change.....


Corley Is Left To Lament The One That Got Away

Washington 140-pounder DeMarcus Corley sat in front of a microphone looking exhausted and a bit dejected about what could have been.

It was about a half-hour after his unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr., Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, and Corley, 29, lamented not only the loss but a missed opportunity.

After clearly losing the first and second rounds, Corley had shown signs of life in the third round and delivered what could have been a momentum-changing shot early in the fourth. While moving in, Corley (28-3-1) caught Mayweather (32-0) with a looping, overhand right that startled Mayweather and moved the unbeaten 27-year-old to the ropes.

"The guy cracked me with a good shot," Mayweather said.

But Corley, who brought the crowd of 6,103 to its feet with that punch, seemingly did not follow up with the urgency needed to get Mayweather in trouble. Mayweather ended up escaping, landing several big shots and nearly scoring a knockdown.

"I should have gone after him, and I did not do that," Corley said.

Mayweather dictated the tempo the rest of the fight and won easily, 119-107, 119-108, 118-108.

Corley said earlier in the week that the fight was critical to his career. It was his first since a loss to Zab Judah last July, and he agreed a victory would keep him relevant in a division that is arguably boxing's deepest. Now, however, he seems to be on the outside looking in.

Corley's options won't be nearly as exciting or numerous as Mayweather's. The former 130- and 135-pound champ helped validate his claim as boxing's pound-for-pound best Saturday and accelerated his rise to stardom.

Mayweather, while quick and technically gifted, is not afraid to trade punches, even with a seemingly stronger opponent such as Corley. That willingness to scrap -- along with a flash-bulb smile, ****y swagger and considerable bravado -- gives Mayweather a marketability Corley lacks.

"I'm ready for that pay-per-view. I know it can happen," Mayweather said. "My last two fights, I've been giving fans exciting fights. I'll stand in the pocket and battle, showing fans I can fight."

I pray that Mayweather takes Hatton as lightly as you do.
