My first time seeing Mayweather tonight. I was impressed by his defense and ability to avoid blows (he is very evasive) and suppose that goes someway to the reason why he remains unbeaten (if you dont get hit you dont tend to lose much!), I was also impressed by his speed. I wasn't impressed with his performance however and really do think on that evidence alone Hatton is someone who will give him great difficulty.

Hatton takes the fight to the fighter. Granted he may from time to time walk through a few bombs to get on the inside, but he ALWAYS gets on the inside. From then on his workrate is intense, his footwork underrated and his lateral movement fantastic. From what I saw last night Mayweather didn't like it when Zab, on the very few occasions traded on the ropes. Mayweather likes it at range, and Hatton simply wont give him that time to breathe.

Hatton throws an incredible number of blows. Floyd was susceptible last night to shots to the body (and the low blow), and we all know that that's how Hatton breaks down an opponents defences, by hurting the body, the hands start to drop, then he takes it upstairs.

But to say ''nothing but pure class'' on lasts nights performance is inaccurate although I do think he controlled the fight from round 3-4 onwards.

Lets bring Hatton and Mayweather together this year!
