Hatton? What was so impressive??

[Welter_Skelter]

What I mean is.. SO I should give him credit for being able to take some nice punches??? I should Give him credit.. for basically quitting when he got deducted a point?? (which was Bull****.. But dont quit over it)
I should Give him credit for NOT using a jab..???
I should give him credit for abandonning his Body Attack???

I would give Him Credit if he did what he said he would do(win or lose) But he didn't..
He did not use "Intelligent agression" he was ******.. Head hunting when the body was free..
He did exactly what Floyd said he would do.. Instead of what HE said he would do..

I cant give him credit for not giving 100%.. He promised so many people he would.. And By his own admission.. he didnt..

Skelt, Hatton tried his best, Mayweather was just the better man tonight.

I think this fight proved Hatton is a lot more 1-dimensional than he claimed not to be.

All he did was charge forward right into Floyd's punches. He practically knocked himself out. I'm not sure I can say I respect him more for that.

I was rooting for Hatton, and he did give it his all. I feel he was unprepared for someone of Floyd's caliber.

[KESSLER]

i dont get it either .. how are you gonna get credit if all youre doing is charging in, huggin and getting hit?

[Jim_Davis]

He got stuck in? lol.


Hatton basically forced Mayweather to show another side of him tonight. He can adapt to any style no matter what. People were saying that Hatton's pressure would be too much for him. I wouldnt say you have to give Hatton credit for standing toe to toe with Mayweather but you can give him credit for fighting hard with his heart and fighting outside his comfort zone.



And how disturbing was it seeing Hatton's girlfriend at the end of the fight?

As all intelligent boxing fans predicted he would.

[Pugilistic™]

he showed the heart of a true champion. he took complete flush shots throughout the fight and keep coming forward.

I agree Skelt. As much as I love Hatton and as much as he was beaten by the better fighter, he disappointed me with the way he fought. I was ranting on about him head-hunting all fight. Obviously he found it difficult and admitted that he got the tactics wrong. I noticed him visible change when he got the point deducted. Hatton was always going to be outskilled and his chance of winning was always going to be getting his tactics right and for whatever reason, he didnt.

Floyd just takes people out of their element.

It's nothing Hatton could've done.

He couldn't get to Mayweathers body. His defence was too damn good. Same as Cotto wont get to his body.
