Exactly. He did a good job referring. He warned BOTH fighters of their dirty tactics, and what these cats dont realize is that the ref is ALSO to ensure an entertaining bout. If they clinch WITHOUT punching, he can separate them, which he did. Like you said though, these are the opinions of people who don't regularly watch boxing to know anything about reffing.
Gonna be a sick fight!! I saw Hatton on his first televised fight and knew he would be at this stage but my money is with Mayweather all the way. P4P king and will be so after the fight!! Popcorn, beer and the biggest fight this year, CHA MONE!!!!
Can't wait. Many possibilities with this one. Those who think Ricky will smash Floyd is finished. Gonna be so close. Hitman needs another Tszyu-like smother/wrestle job to win. PBF's skills and punch accuracy are incredible. He has power, just not 1 punch ko power. Ricky! Ricky! Ricky!
We had this yank vs brit think with calzaghe n manfredo, the brits come out top, fair doo's you won 1 this time round. The odds were always against ricky, but he still kept going. Proper humble bloke and a real idol for me no matter what you yanks say. C'MON ENGLAND!!
Whether you are Asian, Oriental, White, Black, Aborigine, WHATEVER... There are assets and facets to every people on this planet. All honest-hearted persons would acknowledge the fact that there is beauty and talent in all earth's peoples.
been wiating for this fight for 4mont....XD cant wait GO FLOYD!!!!! GO MAYWEATHER!!!!! ricky's a wicked boxer but his a close up boxer while flyd is a distant fighting boxer who hits and trys not to get hit while ricky gets hit all over the place
I have to say Floyd is looking Very good I am British... and I know that Hatton will have to be at his Very best to Clinch this title either Way its gonna be fooking Mint !!!
as soon as the point was taken away, for the punch that hit the ropes not the back of his head, hatton new he had to ko him, and his game plan went out the window.hatton went on the attack and left him self open.he had all the odds stacked against him but put in a good effort. the left hook that got ricky was class, he just draw him in to the corner and pow. dont forget ricky moved up a weight to fight a naturaly bigger man.
If Hatton wins this it will be one of the biggest sporting wins in British history. It looks like it my be Hattons power vrs floyds speed. I can see Hatton taking alot of hits but I hope he gets in Floyds face and delivers some serious punishment. Go Hatton!
I hope Hatton wins I really do, but with a defence like mayweathers, combined with his exceptional counterpunching its gonna be a tough night for Hatton. My prediction and I am usually always wrong is that it will be a late stoppage for mayweather
Even if they fought 10 more times, the same result would occur. Mayweather is a ring genius. He's masterful at winning rounds even while he figures you out. Then it's like after 5-6 rounds, he's fully adjusted and he neutralizes your style. If you have no other options like Hatton didn't, you just become a punching bag for the remainder of the fight.
Most boxers cant even change two weight classes due to the stress your body goes under. He has changed five and beat the best boxer in each! Exactly what sugar ray robinson did! They are both no doubt probably the two best boxers around at the moment but i feel Hatton has to have the performance of his life to beat Mayweather. Mayweathers win over Gatti was so reminicent of sugar ray robinson it was unreal. One of the best boxing fights i have ever seen! And i have seen alot!
I have to say my opinion was ricky will pressure mayweather and not allow him to get organised, but I dont know if you saw the recent calzaghe kessler bout, well like that I think it could go either way. But i think cotto will in the future fight both these guys. But my gut feeling still is a late stoppage for mayweather in about 10
The ref only separated them when they were no longer throwing punches in the clinch or using illegal tactics. He let them get away with a LOT! He did a good job considering the situation. And the ref had nothing to do with the KO.
Im a big fan of hatton i wathced 24-7 on him and he is such a humble guy he still lives in the same neibourhood he grew up in and yeah hes got to be the strongest white guy in his division period. yet i support mayweathers boxing style hes a remarkable fighter i would love to see hatton fight him again but that will never happen. I just wish msyweather acted like hatton out of the ring theres nothin wrong with being confident but mayweather is ridiculous
Finally somebody who knows a little something about what they are talking about. Hatton is a talented hardworking fighter. Mayweather is a gifted boxer. There is a difference between the two. Hatton has not yet faced such a highly technical fighter. Mayweather has boxed against scrappers in the past, he simple alters his style and picks his punches. Yes hatton hits hard, yes he is agressive but no I don't think he can beat Mayweather
thers only 1 rick hatton, only 1 ricky hatton,BOOM BOOM, walking along BOOM,BOOM singing the song BOOM,BOOM walking in the hatton wonder land. --COME ON RICKY-- gutted i cant be there ! couldn't get tickets, good luck hatton son you can do it. late stopage i reckon.all the best.
I think Nubian's prediction may well be true. Hatton will take a lot of hits. Can he smother Mayfly enough ala the Tszyu fight? Floyd has great speed and accuracy. Ricky has no fear at all. Tasty rumble in prospect.
I have to say I agree with you to a certain extent, I think hattons style will suit mayweather. As a counterpuncher mayweather is exceptional and although I am a Hatton fan I think its crazy talk for people to say he will destroy mayweather. Seems to me Floyd cannont be hit he is like a ghost.
Because there's no rules that state you can't "duck" when coming in. And he used his elbows to push away. Cortez allowed BOTH fighters to use a few dirty tactics. Had he had deducted points for every dirty move, Hatton's constant rabbit punches would have had him further down the scorecards than he already was.
To see it as a mismatch in which Mayweather will simply outpoint Hatton is too short-sighted. I can't see that. Hatton is a very proud, strong fighter and he can win. I have no doubt about that. Jose Luis Castillo
Exactly. Nobody wants to see two "friends who compliment each other well" fight. I wouldn't watch a Mayweather fight where he's like "I'm unsure about my skills and I think I could very well lose come May 14th." Come on now...Anyone who follows Mayweather OUTSIDE the ring will see he's very down-to-earth and gives a lot back to the community. He just knows how to sell fights
mayweather's key is that he always adapts to win. i doubt that there will be a knockout, let alone a knockdown, by either fighter. in 43 fights, hatton has never fought anyone like mayweather, but floyd's fought plenty who are just like hatton. i think it's bs that the fight venue is set for las vegas, floyd's back yard, and not some place like japan.
i never said floyd had iron fists. we all know hattons gonna come strait forward the whole fight, right? we also know that mayweather is a technical sharp puncher with speed and stamina. hattons known to take a lot of shots and has been dropped before. i see floyd tagging him with more and more shots later in the fight to the point where hattons face is all jacked and the fight will be stopped or eventually KO.
Well put mate, everyone Ive spoke to about the fight agreed that Mayweather deserved it. Hopefully Hatton will continue boxing till he can reach the top and this will just be a learning curve. Theres no point in us making excuses. Also its only idiots who make racial slurs over youtube, theres nothing big about being racist man to man nevermind sitting infront of your computer screen anonomous to everyone.
I commend Hatton's effort. But he was simply outclassed. What disappoints me is how much of a sore loser the British fans are. "The ref sucks." "The judges were paid." Floyd adapted to his style and made it useless. FACE IT! Even if he lost in Manchester, you'd find some bullshit reason why. Let it go! Be proud of his effort. He did what he could against the best and it just wasnt enough.
Hahaha. No scheming or trickery, well it was funny Hatton didn't get a warning but an automatic point deducted after the rabbit punch. Everytime Hatton got inside, Mayweather put his elbow up into Ricky's face. O and I liked the fact that you got to see referee Joe Cortez and Floyd take a picture together right after the fight hand in hand. I give Floyd all the credit in the world though man, I agree with that, he fought toe to toe and didn't run
The point deduction IS questionable. It didn't land, but he couldn't tell from his angle, and it was a rabbit punch regardless. Hatton shouldn't have thrown it. As for the separations, you have to realize that a refs job it to keep every thing clean AND entertaining for the crowd. Allowing them to hug with no punches the entire round wouldn't have provide that. I think he did a decent job considering their styles
I told everybody this was gonna happen. I like Hatton, but Floyd is just the best. He can adapt to anyone's style and use it against them. Once Hatton ran out of ideas, Floyd exploited him. Mayweather is the best. Let's just real about it.
I think mayweather is bringing too much for Ricky, his speed and defence will make hatton have to work but what i would like to see is the winner of this bout fighting Cotto next
A rabbit punch is an illegal blow. And it was the magnitude of it. Come on dude, Floyd was between the ropes AND had his back to him and Hatton STILL threw another punch. Clearly grounds for a penalty. And who WOULDN'T want a picture with the BEST in the world?
i like hattons style cuz he brawls unlike floyd. i know a lot of peeps compare this fight to the gatti vs mayweather fight and all... but its true. the only difference between the gatti that fought mayweather and hatton is that gatti had skill. money mayweather tko late rounds. easy.
He didn't have one. That's why noone will ever beat Floyd. He adapts too well. Most fighters have their "one" style that's suppose to pressure or take Floyd out of his game, but once he adapts, they have no plan B. The man who brings more than one thing to the table MIGHT have a chance of dethroning Floyd. Until then, Floyd is hands down the best in the sport.
Don't underestimate a guy with heart like Ricky Hatton. Floyd might look more flash and act more flash but is he as tough? I don't think so. The only way I see Floyd winning is on points or stoppage due to cuts but I reckon Ricky can win this fight early. He will get Mayweather into a corner and test him like he's never been tested before - come on Ricky.
all went down hill from the point deduction and billy graham telling him hes behind by 2 points an couldnt afford to lose another round. hattons movement was excellent but stopped moving from the 6th round. Cant take nothin away from mayweather tho, he is awsome. if theres any1 in the world who can beat mayweather its hatton. unlucky mate!
End of the day, Mayweather won. I said it before I'll say it again, we've had this yank vs brit thing before...Calzaghe v Manfredo, Lewis v Tyson and it all gets hyped up with the fans giving it the mouth to each other...The yanks won this time around, I'll look forward to having more banter next time a British fighter takes on a yank. Mayweather won, we all knew Hatton was the underdog but he never gave up and never stopped coming at Mayweather, which is why he's such an idol for me...
u got to respect Mayweather his the best and he respected hatton!! the ref. had nothing to do with the win. hatton got knockout!! It was a great fight they both where great!!
i think marquez is the only one with a real chance of beating pac. but i agree with you, if the fight goes the distance the edge goes to pac. why? b/c pac is a icon and produces $blockbuster fight$ for the sport of boxing.
hatton is a legend, mayweather may have won a few big fights but they were all against washed up grandads, for example De La Hoya was old and about to claim his bus pass when Gayweather beat him. He has no chin!! He'll never get up from a punch like Hatton gave Castillo. Come on Ricky!
I am going to stick my neck out and go for Hatton in 9 rounds! Sluggers have won Championships before against good boxers with ringcraft! Frazier, Marciano, LaMotta, Zale, Brisillo, Tyson, Norton, Chavez and Duran... Boxers don't like pressure fighters who give them no room for a breather and breathers will be very few and far between for Mayweather in the early hours on Sunday!
Holy crap this will be awesome! I'm not much of a boxing fan but these guys are tough!
dude its nice to here someone who knows what they are talking about. everthing you said is bang on. i see a total shut out a landslide points win.
yeh cool lookin forward to seein them.
YOu called it homie.. Good Prediction
good luck to both i just hope its a good fight overall i.e classic
theres only oonne may-weather!
Theres Only ONE RICKY HATTON
ONE RICKY HATTON
We're walking along
Singing Our Song
Walking in Ricky's Wonderland.....
I AGREE, 100%.
Good luck Ricky.
Do Britain proud.
well said, balls of steel we brits have! ... and a stiff upper lip, too.
Exactly. He did a good job referring. He warned BOTH fighters of their dirty tactics, and what these cats dont realize is that the ref is ALSO to ensure an entertaining bout. If they clinch WITHOUT punching, he can separate them, which he did. Like you said though, these are the opinions of people who don't regularly watch boxing to know anything about reffing.
come on hatton
that was funny!!!!
Its a trick, his trainer is meeting his punches with his mits...but yes...Mayweather is amazing!
well a few of them were actually good boxers as well and thats what kept them in.
Gonna be a sick fight!! I saw Hatton on his first televised fight and knew he would be at this stage but my money is with Mayweather all the way. P4P king and will be so after the fight!! Popcorn, beer and the biggest fight this year, CHA MONE!!!!
your right my money is on a hatton win over glass hands
Absolutley right. FM spent maybe the first five rounds adapting to hatton and finally closed the show. Both are great but FM is truly the best.
Can't wait. Many possibilities with this one. Those who think Ricky will smash Floyd is finished. Gonna be so close. Hitman needs another Tszyu-like smother/wrestle job to win. PBF's skills and punch accuracy are incredible. He has power, just not 1 punch ko power. Ricky! Ricky! Ricky!
lol that would be amusing and would certainly set a rematch up.
come on mayweather!
I thought we're talking about mayweather and hatton here =) you can post that in the proper video. Cheers!
We had this yank vs brit think with calzaghe n manfredo, the brits come out top, fair doo's you won 1 this time round.
The odds were always against ricky, but he still kept going. Proper humble bloke and a real idol for me no matter what you yanks say.
C'MON ENGLAND!!
Whether you are Asian, Oriental, White, Black, Aborigine, WHATEVER... There are assets and facets to every people on this planet.
All honest-hearted persons would acknowledge the fact that there is beauty and talent in all earth's peoples.
ha u got told
denial is not just a river in egypt

Why did cortez not pull Mayweather for charging in low with his head down and consistent use of his elbows??
like castillo nd dlh did 2 mayweather?cumon boy the decisions always go with the expected winner
As Anyone here seen "Great white Hype"???This match up is giving me deja vu
Where are you from then son
The ref only separated them when they were no longer throwing punches in the clinch or using illegal tactics. He let them get away with a LOT! He did a good job considering the situation. And the ref had nothing to do with the KO.

you can get odds of 9/2 for hatton to win by ko/tko at that price its fucking buying money
I think Nubian's prediction may well be true. Hatton will take a lot of hits. Can he smother Mayfly enough ala the Tszyu fight? Floyd has great speed and accuracy. Ricky has no fear at all. Tasty rumble in prospect.
you serious
I have to say I agree with you to a certain extent, I think hattons style will suit mayweather. As a counterpuncher mayweather is exceptional and although I am a Hatton fan I think its crazy talk for people to say he will destroy mayweather. Seems to me Floyd cannont be hit he is like a ghost.
CMON MAYWEATHER
hattons gonna smash him up chhaaaaaaar!
Did he just say the Spice girls might sing the national anthem... Please don't let that happen...

Hitman's gonna win. End of.
from now on its manchester mayweather!
*career
Come on Ricky, educated pressue is the way and he will win. There's going to be a lot of Floyd fans think up excuses next week!
A rabbit punch is an illegal blow. And it was the magnitude of it. Come on dude, Floyd was between the ropes AND had his back to him and Hatton STILL threw another punch. Clearly grounds for a penalty. And who WOULDN'T want a picture with the BEST in the world?
send me a message once Hatton wins!
any other sport u wanna debate about while we're here?
he won round 2?
i like hattons style cuz he brawls unlike floyd. i know a lot of peeps compare this fight to the gatti vs mayweather fight and all... but its true.
the only difference between the gatti that fought mayweather and hatton is that gatti had skill.
money mayweather tko late rounds.
easy.
haha ya right, not if mayweather decides to try out for track and field like he did against del la hoya.
seriously.......
He didn't have one. That's why noone will ever beat Floyd. He adapts too well. Most fighters have their "one" style that's suppose to pressure or take Floyd out of his game, but once he adapts, they have no plan B. The man who brings more than one thing to the table MIGHT have a chance of dethroning Floyd. Until then, Floyd is hands down the best in the sport.
ok. i'll call him dicky hatton =). hahaha you guys crack me up.
*fighter
the spice girls wont sing cus how could they mime the national fucking anthem on tv
Don't underestimate a guy with heart like Ricky Hatton. Floyd might look more flash and act more flash but is he as tough?
I don't think so. The only way I see Floyd winning is on points or stoppage due to cuts but I reckon Ricky can win this fight early. He will get Mayweather into a corner and test him like he's never been tested before - come on Ricky.
haha make sure you guys can still say those things after the fight. =) let's just see.
Who won?
Dont worry the spice girls wont be singing. They never have done.
all went down hill from the point deduction and billy graham telling him hes behind by 2 points an couldnt afford to lose another round. hattons movement was excellent but stopped moving from the 6th round. Cant take nothin away from mayweather tho, he is awsome. if theres any1 in the world who can beat mayweather its hatton. unlucky mate!
I would like to think Hatton has a chance but he doesn't. Height, reach, stamina, style, skills...Mayweather has them all.
heres the thing hatton is too small with arms too short and a lack of skills and mobility. but i still love to watch hattons style of fighting.
End of the day, Mayweather won. I said it before I'll say it again, we've had this yank vs brit thing before...Calzaghe v Manfredo, Lewis v Tyson and it all gets hyped up with the fans giving it the mouth to each other...The yanks won this time around, I'll look forward to having more banter next time a British fighter takes on a yank.
Mayweather won, we all knew Hatton was the underdog but he never gave up and never stopped coming at Mayweather, which is why he's such an idol for me...
may weather is full of him self but it aint braggin if you can do it
Hatton to stop him in the 8th, gonna tko him with a body shot to the ribs, hatton will cut his right eye... I HAD A DREAM
hatton will bleed but when ricky hits the bodyshots not as bad as floyds inside
u got to respect Mayweather his the best and he respected hatton!! the ref. had nothing to do with the win. hatton got knockout!! It was a great fight they both where great!!
mayweather already ate the english mc muffin.
i think marquez is the only one with a real chance of beating pac. but i agree with you, if the fight goes the distance the edge goes to pac.
why? b/c pac is a icon and produces $blockbuster fight$ for the sport of boxing.
i like beer and darts, whats your point?
*cough* rugby world cup *cough cough*
Hitman Hatton is going to make Pretty Boy Floyd into Ugly Boy Floyd.
mayweather too good(from a brit)but he is all america have come on calzaghe lad.
hatton is a legend, mayweather may have won a few big fights but they were all against washed up grandads, for example De La Hoya was old and about to claim his bus pass when Gayweather beat him. He has no chin!! He'll never get up from a punch like Hatton gave Castillo. Come on Ricky!
It's not gonna be a real shocker when Hatton gets off the plane in Manchester with his face fucked up!
no man thats not true what u say
cuz how u can c floyd has big handspeed + power
and i don't rly c alot good romanian boxers
I am going to stick my neck out and go for Hatton in 9 rounds!
Sluggers have won Championships before against good boxers with ringcraft!
Frazier, Marciano, LaMotta, Zale, Brisillo, Tyson, Norton, Chavez and Duran...
Boxers don't like pressure fighters who give them no room for a breather and breathers will be very few and far between for Mayweather in the early hours on Sunday!
