    It was indeed a masterpiece later on, especially that knockout.
    I made a final choice to root for Mayweather last night for a number of reasons, and when I first saw Hatton rock him, closing the distance quickly hitting him with shots because of his foot quickness and not letting Floyd play his game, I was starting to worry. Then after round 5, he adapted to Ricky Hatton and actually fought his fight much of the time. I loved his left jab, that thing snapped Hatton's head back relentlessly. Maybe his most effective punch was the left hook. He had so much handspeed, if he gets a chance to counter, you know he WILL. Just look at the first left hook that put him down.

            His level of adaptation when the going gets tough is of the highest order.

                Agree completely!

                    I have to say that first knockdown was a beautiful thing, the left hook was something Ray Robinson would have been proud of. Cong**** to Floyd.

                      Floyd's new nickname should be:
