The KO.. (Mayweather-Hatton)

[boxing_pundit85]

No Doubt That "Check" Hook was sweet Punch....
Perfectly timed..And Right on the Money..

However... After Hatton ate it.. he hit his head neck down on the turnbuckle..

Got up at the count of 8.. and immediately went on the Attack...

After 2 big hits (the Hook and the Post) He was still there..

However he then ate a Right hand.. That put him on ***** street..

Not as Pretty as the check hook... But being 2 hits after the check.. the REAL KO punch...

Sorry if that burts anyone's Bubble... But hatton Did not get KO'd by the check Hook.. He got KO'd by a dandy Straight right...

The check Hook KO.. is a Myth that needs to be stopped now.. It was a Knock down punch.. And a beauty.. BUT it was not the KO punch..

He hit iT neck down.. which can cause wiplash and concussions... I am sure it did half the damage..

He beats the count... he was NOT Ko'd... He lasts another 20 seconds on strong legs.. Then get's blasted a by right....

It's just a fact...

the check hook ended the fight, end of story. dont see the point of this post.

Thats revisionist History.. and only YOUR opinion.. that fact is
He got Check hooked at 1:58 ...was up at 8
and then went on the attack.. Got hit By Floyd again by left hook.. Then ate another left hook which had hi out.. took the right.. and fell.. This is at 1:39..

No Opinion just facts... The Check Hook did not knock him out..

I said that it didn't knock him out, Welter. Should I quote it?

The Check hook changed the pace of the fight, and had Hatton hurt and totally out on his feet, the left hook after that was technically the KO punch that hurt Hatton, the right hand was not a powerful punch and did not cause the KO.

no doubt the right did it, as well the other left hooks he landed after he got up, i aint arguin that. im arguin that the turnbuckle did any damage. it didnt look as if it did. u ever run into one of those in the ring before. its padded. it jus bounces u off of it, doesnt really hurt u. i dont think it did THAT much damage, but what the hell i aint hatton so i dono. i think the hook knocked him down (obviously) and the second the right finished him. turnbuckle knocking him down is bull**** IMO, he woulda went down facefirst if they were in the center.

Oh I am not saying the turnbuckle knocked him out... I am saying after he ate the Check hook he suffered the further trauma of hitting the turn buckle..

He beat the count.. was on his knees at 5.. and on his feet at 8 .. and Cortez let him go right away... NO Knock out...

Just because the right was the last punch landed does not mean it was the punch that caused the KO.

we know. but why the thread about it? people are jus commenting on the check hook all the time, but thats jus cuz it was the beginning of the end for hatton, thats all. we know the other combinations floored him for good. its all good man...

The process got started much earlier than the 10th round..

Come on guys.. I am not trying to insult anyone..

It just seems to be "common" fact.. that Hatton was KO'd by a punch that ONLY knocked him down...

It's just a little simple fact .. people seem to be ignoring.. Becasue the check hook story is more Dramatic...

If you beat a count..and the REF lets you continue.. Have you been KO'd or NOT??

It's a YES or NO question..

can You answer it... ??

People are very strange concerning the hook. It was not the KO. And he lasted for a decent amount of time after that. For some reason many are saying it was the KO.

anyone that says the hook KOd him is straight up wrong. obviously it didnt cuz he was up after he went down. i get wut ur sayin welter and its all true. the "check hook" thing jus sounds better. anyway, there is no such thing as a "check hook" it was a beautiful and powerfull uppercut/hook mix, i call that an upperhook, but if peeps wanna say check hook, its all good with me...
