Quite drunk so came home and decided to watch Manny vs Hatton again

The first time since I watched the fight live:

Wow.

Hatton really was out of his depth.

That was one nasty KO.

Not surprised he has decided to retire.



Great six minutes of action.

I would have put on Ward vs Gatti. I couldn't believe some of the shots they took and still fought on.

Hatton looked like a zombie in that fight. His face just looked fucking weired, don't you think? Looks like he just got out of bed to tackle a burgler.

I just find the fact they actually shared a ring strange - looking back, it was a total mismatch. Hatton never stood a fucking chance.

The fight has fond memories for me as two of my mates bet me £50 that Hatton would win. They don't really watch boxing just got caught up in the Sky Sports Box Office hype and bet me that Ricky would 'do the business'.

I warned them several times not to bet me as he didn't have a chance in hell but you can only warn people once or twice before you want to shut them up and take their money.

It's easy enough to argue in hindsight that a certain bout was a mismatch. I'm not so sure, Hatton performed poorly to say the least, but nobody was really expecting Hatton to get blown away quite so easily. It's a fight that I struggle to watch. It was like Hatton had a death wish and went out there and did everything he should not have done. His punch resistance was obselete. You could tickle him and he would be wobbling, quite strange.

There where some people on this board, including myself, who felt Hatton had no chance. He was already damaged goods at that point anyways...add to that the constant ballooning of weight in between fights (you could tell he tried to kill himself to make weight for that fight) and his come forward style...and the outcome was not shocking at all IMO.

The RIGHT HOOK murdered Hatton.

The 2004 Technical version of Pacquiao Againts this Hatton would be a great great SLUG FEST.
