You are right. It looked early on like it was going to work. Hatton was keeping the pressure on and not letting Mayweather set up and get the first off. It was deceiving though. I gave Hatton 1 round more than the judges did, but later on it was clear that Mayweather was controlling the fight. He didn't have to dominate it, but he was controlling it.

FM got very confident, extremely confident, in trying to go with Hatton and beating him at his own game. That can be very dangerous. In the first and second round, it looked like it might be close.

Mayweather never gets hit with a clean shot. Tremendous performance.

HBO needs a new judge. Ledderman has been getting further and further off. And Lampley outright roots for the guy he likes. I kept thinking I was watching a different fight. If you were blind or Seattle you might have thought it was close.

Merchant needs removing imo.
Guy is just weird.
Tries to make some poetry/boxing mix
and just blabbers a bunch of nothing.

Kinda like me.
Thus, I will remove myself.

Never saw any of the fight.

Am i disappointed, yes........ surprised? not at all. Mayweather was like 1-2 in the markets over here and i know just as well as the next person that 1-2 shots rarely get beaten.

Everyone i have spoken to says that for the first two rounds it looked like Hatton was making Mayweather fight Hatton's style but then Mayweather seemed to realise he could get himself into trouble by doing that.

Is that how it looked to you guys?

Hatton does take a lot of punches because of his attacking style. If there is a weakness in his boxing it's the fact he only really has the one style, which is to attack and to work very hard through the whole fight.

I wanted Hatton to win, just to shut Mayweather up.... it just wasn't to be.

The hope the football hooligans didn't cause any trouble over there. They let our country down so badly at big sporting events.

Well done to Mayweather, even if i don't like his attitude, he deserves to be congratulated.

Hatton forgot to do one thing and that was throw punches. He wrestled him all over the place but never threw punches. Sure Mayweather held a lot, but in a lot of those situations he had no choice. I thought Cortez was brutal. He is usually pretty solid, but I thought last night he was way off. I wanted Hatton to knock his head off, but I agree with Chuck in the fact that Mayweather just doesn't get hit. Now I'm pissed that I paid $54 to see it. Oh well.....
