This Is How I See Hatton vs Mayweather Fight Going.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I tend to sit and read, the silent type...

What are my thoughts? I was watching Curry vs Honeyghan. All the 'experts' talking about 'Superstar' Curry and the 'Kid' (Honeyghan was actually a year older, but why let a mere fact ruin some patronising). Then the 'Honeyghan has too much weight in his legs' then 'oh wait, Curry has ring rust'. It progressed all the way through the spectrum to 'A shot Curry'.

So come the fight I'm expecting some Deja Vu...

Hitman to shock! 5th round body shot stops PBF.

Then back here for your hipswerves,slopey shoulders, fast backtracking and generally evasive excuses

Wishful thinking. But it's also foolish thinking. Honeyghan is pretty much a fighter who was at the right place at the right time. Curry was so weight drained it was sad. He had no business still fighting at 147 and paid for it. A prime Curry destroys Honeyghan the way Mark Breland destroyed him. And keep in mind Hatton will not be fighting a weigh drained fighter like Honeyghan did. Mayweather by dominate win over a in over his head Hatton

Your arrogance outshines my foolishness then

You cannot possibly know exactly what will happen on the night. That was my whole point, glad someone caught my drift

But to carefully explain it for you...The Hatton that turns up that night could be the man at the right time and place to beat PBF. And certain 'experts' (God forbid I would ever include you) will have a lot of egg on their faces.

I'm just hoping for a shocker because it will REALLY open up endless possibilities!

Hey, im getting used to the way these noobs are handling you VD

BTW, Kensai, welcome to Saddoboxing




However, with that being said, over these last two years ive seen Hatton & Maywaether change slightly.
Style wise, this match up just aint what i used to think it would be.

Hatton mauls & spoils too much these days. In a sense, its what he does instead of boxing.
To a certain extent, when Hatton aint throwing punches, he's still on top of you, but out of danger.
Sometimes its blatant holding, most times its a lot more savvy. Fair enough.

But those kind of tactics will prove to be VERY ineffective against the pretty boy, simply becasue Floyd is just a whole different set-up in defence.
Plus IMO, Floyds way of infighting is very underrated and unique.



Due to the clash of styles, I think you'll find Hatton will start to do two things in the mid to later rounds that he has never done before.

1) Wait to throw
Up close, on Floyds chest, doing nothing. If only for a few, very noticable seconds. But enough for Floyd to tee-off on Hattons head & body for Hatton to then...
2) Go backwards
Either as a hurt man or as a Hatton who has struggled to bust up a slick counter-puncher and has had to go back on the outside and box

Both will be soooo detrimental to his confidence, let alone his chances of winning. Floyd will school Hatton if and when this happens however i doubt there'll be a stoppage. Unless of course a compassionate (and rightly protective) Billy Graham pulls him out of there.


This is exactly how i see the fight going at this point
