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.....

Watched the whole fight and PBF is a great boxer hands down. Hatton was holding and kept charging into PBF. PBF did the only thing you can do when someone with 20 inch arms is charging you, you grab thier arse. PBF finally listened to his corner when they said "when he comes charging in throw as many punches as you can into his lttle Hobbit arse. And that is what PBF did in the 8th round and almost ended it then. He rested in the 9th and came out with a flurry of punches hitting Hatton almost at will. When PBF knocked Hatton down the 1st time Hatton slammed his head into the corner turn buckle like the WWE. Hatton got back up and PBF finished him off unlike any other time in his career. Great fight in the later rounds. Undercard was the worst I've ever witnessed in my life of watching PPV. Anyway the local bar here in Holland Michigan (Blazers) had the fight for only a $10 cover. Stiffest drinks in all of Michigan in this place for sure.
