Im just watching Ricky Hatton's fights again, some of them i haven't seen in years. Like this one and this fight was alot closer than i remember. I only had Ricky Hatton winning by a point, he lost a majority of the early rounds. He comeback strong but he for certain lost the last round, which made it very close especially with the knockdown against him. This fight showed though that Ricky Hatton does have problems vs Southpaws.
that was such a frustrating fight to watch...Magee never seemed to go for the win. Strange fight. Also for me showed he was never going to be a great GREAT fighter getting dropped like that...

No he clearly lost the 2nd and the 12th round aswell, he also won atleast 1 or 2 more rounds. When he made Ricky Hatton miss and countered him. So what are you talking about ? i scored it for Ricky Hatton.Quote:

My unbias opinion had Magee winning by 2
Magee was always a very hard puncher, I can't think of a fight where he didn't buzz someone, no disgrace in getting floored by him, but Hatton clearly outworked him - as I remember it. Although thought Magee could have won if he took more chances.
Carnt remember what i scored it but i had Hatton winning comfortable.
it's weird because this fight is much closer than i originally thought and the Thaxton fight is less competitive than i originally though. it's just that Hatton's face was a mess that gave the impression that he'd been to hell and back, when in reality he'd pretty much boxed circles round him.
I was screaming for magee to win but Hatton won the fight fair and square. The general consensus from the boxing fraternity in Belfast was that Hatton won the fight alright BUT...magee had the beating of him that night, and due to Eamonns 'alternative lifestyle' shall we say, he was concerned more about pacing himself to get the 12 rounds in than fighting his own fight
Hatton won it by deciding to out box Magee on the outside and away from his big punches. Eamon could not adapt and was simply not good enough.
