Hatton put in a good performance tonight and i think he can beat anyone at Junior Welterweight at the moment.
However, after watching that, the jumping left hook thing he does is an absolute disgrace. Seriously, he's doing exactly what got him knocked out by PBF and he's wide open all night long, and if Lazcano wasn't so crappy and he was against a class fighter he would have been in big trouble tonight.
Mayweather will just be sitting at home rubbing his hands with glee because he will knock Hatton the **** out if they have a rematch in about 3 rounds if he keeps this up.

What does everyone else think about his style?

I saw the "jumping hook". Kept thinking what to call it, like 90% hook, 10% uppercut.

However, even if his performance wasn't highlight reel material, he convincingly won the fight.

Floyd Patterson rolls in his grave every time Hatton throws it.

he should patent the graphic of it and sell it on his gear.air hatton.

Don't get me wrong, i like Hatton and imo he's a good fighter, but when put in the ring with world class competition like PBF and at a higher weight class that he's not used to i don't think he stands a chance, it's just a complete mismatch of styles.

The jumping left hook is the biggest weakness he has. If he hadnt done that today he would have never been hurt. He gets countered or misses and is off balance and open to a shot.

That left hook is a terrible punch.

His style is better for a 23 year old than a 29 year old. The flame may be burn out anytime now. He is still competitive with anyone at 140, but any rational thoughts of him beating Mayweather should have completely vanished by now.

to be fair he could do it all night long against Paulie Malignaggi.
