Crazy to think it's been a decade! First bet on Saddos I ever made and first one I lost. What the Hell was I thinking 'Hatton by ko' ;D:-X.

When the fight was first announced I gave Hatton a thirty percent chance.
After a couple of days on the piss in Vegas with the British contingent I became convinced he was going to finish mayweather in the first round with a barrage of body shots.
Then the opening bell rang....
I still think that Joe Cortez ruined the fight. He wouldn't allow any inside fighting, meanwhile look at all the actual clinching that you see go on in all too many fights these days. Then there was that bogus point deduction. Joe Cortez was awful and I am surprised he wasn't put to the gallows immediately following the fight. Hatton might well have lost anyway, but you never know. He might have been able to hustle it. Likely not. Hatton shortened his career with his lifestyle and I think you saw that play out somewhat against Floyd. Floyd for all his faults was always in condition. There is something to be said for not getting hammered on a regular basis.
Fun fight, wish Ortiz would have let Hatton hold, It was fun watching Floyd win on the inside. The outside was too easy
practice makes perfect
my only guess would ever be that Master has fucked something up
