Mayweather would never beat Hatton...

[squealpiggy]

Mayweather was landing those punches, and Hatton was charging in like that since the second round...

He almost dropped Hatton in the middle rounds with it, but Hatton grabbed onto Mayweather for dear life.

I'd disagree, I'd say those shots weren't clean until the seventh.

Really? I swore one of those very same punches cut his eye in the early rounds.

I need to rewatch the fight again, but I thought he caught Hatton charging in quite a few times throughout the fight.

[squealpiggy]

Yeah he got caught a few tmes, but there was a marked difference between the frequency with which he got caught with clean shots in the first six rounds and in the last four.

I thought fatigue was the biggest factor in that.

I thought fatigue was the biggest factor in that.

And who can say for sure? Maybe it was fatigue but he looked angry after that point, and after the eighth he looked a little desperate. In the tenth he went up a gear so I don't think it was fatigue but then again who can really say?

Yeah, the point deduction definitely affected him. At one point he looked like he half wanted to quit, half wanted to moon the ref.

To all the clowns that need to belittle and bash Ricky, was it an entertaining fight? Was it more entertaining than the Oscar fight? I sure think so. Did Ricky show heart after getting hit with a killer left hook and doing a face plant into the turnbuckle? How can you say he didn't? He got back up and took quite a bit more punishment before his legs gave out.

Anyway, I thought Floyd showed a lot of class after the fight, and Ricky pissed me off a bit. Rick could have complained about the ref if he lost a decision, but he should have given Floyd more credit for knocking him out.

Be nice to see Hatton go back to 140, where he's better suited, and win a few more fights before retiring. But after 20 million bucks in this fight alone, he can do whatever the hell he wants. No shame in 3 time, 2 division champ and only loss being to the best fighter in the world.

[Marduke]

Hatton fought like a champion, and there is absolutely no shame to losing to the best fighter in the world.

I was rooting for him, and at first felt really disappointed after the fight, and really dogged him on the forums afterwards. But re-watching it, he put on a hell of a fight and showed a lot of heart.

I think the ref affected the fight to a small degree in the beginning (not that I think it would have changed the overall outcome), and Mayweather did an incredible job of adapting to his style and responding (even if his tactics were a little dirty).
