    I was reminded of Calzaghe-Kessler

    I was expecting one man to shut the other down pretty handily the whole fight... but neither happened.

    Both Hatton and Kessler showed me more than I thought they had, but they ended up falling into the better boxer's eventual plan.

    Not to say that the fights looked anything like each other, I just thought that both Kessler and Hatton did better than I thought they would, and they both showed me that they had a lot more to offer than I thought they did.

      I didn't see that happening... I saw Hatton winning a few of the first rounds.

      Lederman is on crack for giving round 1 to Hatton though.

      Kessler won a few of the early rounds, but Calzaghe took over.

      Hatton won a few of the early rounds, but Mayweather took over.

      By a few, I mean like 2-4.

        Hatton claimed he wasn't 1 dimensional, but I don't think he did much to expel that.

        He fought his best, that's all we can expect. In the end, the better man won tonight.

          He caught Floyd, from range, upstairs and down a few times early...

          Everyone had him as an unskilled laborer on the inside, and I think he showed that he can do some damage from the outside (with his 20 inch arms)...

          He just got overcome after the 5th or so.

            Kessler is a much better fighter than Hatton. I don't think Ricky really showed something special that i would expected from him. To be honest, it was mismatch. FLoyd prooved that boxing skills, abillity and talents beats pure will.
