I agree. by far the most likely result is a judges decision in either direction. either getting KO'd is unlikely.
I'm not saying Mayweather isn't a favourite in the fight, I'm saying it's narrow and Hatton winning would be no fluke. Mayweather is used to people standing in front of him and letting him pick them off. Hatton says he knows Mayweather is capable of fighting inside and expects him to do so early on. He'll think better of it after a few rounds.
my biggest concern is a bad cut rather than a KO

Hatton press-conference. Not for those sensitive to strong language (but bloody funny!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUh7Y_rWrcQ |

I am now positive that Hatton will win this if he doesn't get KO'd.
If mayweather takes on the fight like his de la hoya fight i think it will be perfect for ricky. De La Hoya continualy went to the head when mayweather wasn't fighting back early on and mayweather is an expert at ducking those hits so wasn't tired out for the last rounds but even then he didn't make it count that much. If ricky goes in with his mauling style and sapping body punches i really can't see what mayweather will do to counter it.
If they go toe to toe that also favours ricky given mayweathers wildness when it becomes a war, he just starts swinging where as ricky is so hard he's still got his eyes on the prize and connects heavily.
In the fight during open exchanges you will definately see ricky ducking any of mayweathers right hooks and crosses and looking to plant killer body shots to his right ribs and below, this really sticks out as weakness for mayweather in this fight as he really does open it up, not so much on his left side and the leverage won't be there either so i expect more uppercuts from rickys right hand when countering mayweathers left.
The biggest worry for hatton is mayweathers brilliant straight right, it's so quick and powerful he could easily get knocked down by one so he should rarely be coming in head up.
My god i am so excited, this is easily the greatest fight for british boxer in my lifetime and having followed ricky for years i feel a genuine sort of personal involement.
Anyone fancy meeeting up to watch the fight somewhere?

Nice summary, and I agree with pretty much all of it.
I'm getting excited too.

Im so pissed off. Im supposed to be going to this fight but i missed the £320 flights anfd now they are closer to the £1200 mark. Which i am not prepeared to pay as the tickets will be £300-£500. If i can find a flight for £500 ill go a week before and tackle the multis in vegas to hopefully subsidise my trip. If anyone sees any cheapo flights let me know please.
If not its gonna be 10 lads round at mine, pizza, beer, and boxing.

The link to that story from the BBC front page was 'De la Hoya eyes Hatton'. Given the link I posted earlier on, I thought that was pretty funny. |

enough of all this drivel....Ricky the over rated hitman just doesn't stand a chance....give him credit tho for his brass balls in stepping up to the plate, but there is no way on earth he will win this fight....
....Mayweather win via stoppage easily!
More importantly tho, is it going to be on Pay per View...or shown free on Setanta like the last fight?
Sky PPV. Mayweather to stop him easily? Based on what? |
