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.
