did anyone see the fight around last week? i never normally watch boxing matches but i couldnt ressist all teh hype and the classic british vs american thing. i stayed up till 4 watching it online, lennox lewis was right about his predeiction on hatton would need to have knocked him out by the 4th round or he wouldnt stand a chance.
hatton was going gung ho in the first few rounds until he got tired and some great defence by mayweather. and opened up a can of whoop ass when hatton was tired.
it was bound to happen as mayweathers arms are 6" longer and hes taller.
did anybody else watch the fight?
-
Didn't watch it. I had a friend that did. Said that it was surprisingly good. Floyd Mayweather has been pretty cagey his past few fights.
For what it's worth, most of the Brit v. American shit comes from your side.
-
i knew mayweather was going to win, his style of fighting and being patient has worked well in the past and i thought it wuld work well against hatton, hatton was solid throughout the match but leading up to the knockout, mayweather was just stream rolling and nothing could stop him
-
we all knew deep down mayweather wud win, we stayed up and watched it at my house after town..... hatton had like 2 good rounds then mayweather outclassed him.... hatton is english, therefore he was never gonna win :cursing:
-
I didn't get to see it because it cost $50+ on PPV here and only one local bar was showing it.
Anyways, the fights was really hyped up and I enjoyed it. Saw the weigh-in and the English fans were brilliant. It felt like I was watching an English derby.
I was actually rooting for Hatton because I don't like Mayweather's cocky ass. Either way, Mayweather is just too damn good. I thought it would be down to the judges decision; didn't think Hatton would get knocked out.
Please post highlights if you have them. :boxing:

i watched the whole fight online live from HBO, if you would have been on msn i could have given you the link.
the english fans were making the most noise a shame they boo'ed the american national anthem. typical yob behavior lol
-
My boy the pretty boy won
-
yea i just saw the fight over again on HBO aswell, hatton's strongest round was the 6th imo when he had full control of the ring, the 9th round was awful for him as he landed 0 of his punches on mayweather, in the 10th round hatton just got clocked too many times and is the reason why he fell backwards and lost

Word is that Floyd was in his locker room and was being broadcast onto the big screen during the anthem.
A large portion of America wanted to see Mayweather get his ass beaten.

he'd better have been training something else..... like wrestling or jiujitsu for a while. if he goes to mma with just boxing experience, he won't last half a minute.

No one who has crossed over has not trained in something else.

i've seen boxers that were ONLY boxers that went to mma. needless to say what the outcome of that was.
but still.... a highly skilled boxer who is great at what he does finds it difficult to transition to mma even with other types of training. their styles are just set in a certain way they can't really cope with other things as well as some ppl.

Who?
EVERY (I've seen four; don't get on me if there is one that I didn't see) boxer that I've seen make the transition has worked with a MMA gym. If Floyd decides to try his hand, he will be working with someone respectable like Kimbo Slice has been with Bas Rutten. This won't be Ray Mercer.

i've done taekwondo (please don't be another person to remind me of how it's not useful in mma. it can be if you kno how to use it right)
and also hapkido, BJJ
and i haven't trained in but kno a few simple, useful techniques from muay thai and wingchun. some muay thai techniques help especially in the striking game. compliments my main training in tkd and hapkido.
