But he used up most of his energy doing so where instead he should have paced himself more, not that it would have mattered.

Right, except Hatton wasn't swarming, he was just using hit-and-hold tactic. A good example of swarming is what Juarez did to Barrera on their first fight. If you watch that, you'll know the big difference between real swarming and what Hatton did. Juarez attacked Barrera with short crisp hooks and uppers without letup while Hatton just hit Floyd couple of times and held on to him right after almost every inside attack.
CC bro for that point, Hatton pissed me off when he went in as he had no defence watsoever and just got picked off. In The Ring mag when they asked 20 experts for their view apart from Paulie "I am the man" Malignaggi, Buddy McGirt's comment has been on my mind the past couple of weeks as he too said this would be very easy for Floyd saying Hatton would just come in and PBF would pick him off all night for a late stoppage and looking back McGirt's view was perfect and that's exactly what happened.
