I dont why people are so suprised, in the beggining i gave hatton a 50/50 chance if he moved to his left jabbed and closed down from an angle, which apparently is what Mayweather SR asked him to do before the fight.
But then......
Weeks before the fight I did a thread saying hatton's gonna steam in and abandon the gameplan, getting himself knockout.
Why?
Because he said he was gonna steam in during the pre fight interviews. Hatton's not clever like floyd, floyd says before a fight like " Im gonna attack him from the get go" he aint never gonna do that ****, we know it. Hatton is alot more honest.
When he started talking about being the bigger man at 140 and getting pac on the backfoot, i knew he was gonna get himself hurt because roach knew he was gonna do that and spent months preparing pacquiao for that.
In the press conferences I didnt see him say anything about lateral movement, he just talked about steaming in with a jab and head movement, thinking that would be enough, but that **** doesnt work for him when he cant see the punches coming.Comment

It was way to ******ed in the first place indeed, to assume a size difference will be a big advantage. The thing with mayweather is.. he never overlooks no opponent. Obviously i dont think hatton did training wise, but assuming a size advantage will be enough is very idiotic, abandoning technique for wild punches was so ******.
Even when mayweather jr troughout his carreer faced tomato cans, he never lost his composure technique wise, and always stayed focused. Maybe a little vs corley but he was owning the dude.Comment

I think he could have done better though... I've seen him box better than that. Not saying he'd have won, but there was zero brain involved on Saturday.Comment

grow up you whinging *****
As a hatton fan i feel disgusted and let down because hatton boxed like an amateur. After all the talk of how improved he was and a 12 week training camp with a fantastic trainer, he goes charging in and used no boxing intelligence what so ever. 25,000 brits travelled in the recession and that is how hatton re-pays us! what is the point in learning new things if your not going to use them? My congratulations go to the pacman, and id advise hatton to hang them up right now. There are top line boxers out there who have more than 2 losses, but hatton has had 3 major fights, won 1 of them against kostya and got hammered in the other 2. definatly the end of the road and a sad way to bow out.Comment
