Ricky Did What everybody else claim they would do against PBF but i didn't work

[Boxerharvey]

Ive watched the fight a few times now and I think Hatton stopped using the jab like Oscar did against Floyd and also stopped his head movement, he was using both these in the early rounds but when Cortez took a the point off he seemed to stop. Also when Hatton was in close I think he was too close and was smothering his own work, he needed to take a step back to be able to get some leverage on them body punches. Apart from that Mayweather was just too slick.

I watched the first 6 rounds again and all i gave mayweather was round 4. I had hatton up 4 rounds to 1 after 5 and he would have won the 6th round if it weren't for the bs point deduction. Mayweather turned into the ropes and one punch landed on the back of his head. Crap call and too bad the ko occured. Mayweather didn't dominate the early rounds like everybody is saying. hatton pressed the action and landed a lot of hard shots, more than mayweather did.

you guys like how harold lederman was giving ricky the rounds over pbf ahhaha.

Floyd was only up by one round when the knockout happened on my scorecard....and that includes the round with the point deduction and I had that round even

Hatton in my opinon really didn't do as bad as some portray, he gave it what he had, tried to grapple and hold it just wasn't enough, i think no differently of hatton now than i did before the fight.

How does grappling an holding win fights? It might be good idea to try to land some clean,effective shots.He did terrible,looked amauterish and averaged landing just 6 punches a round,and got ko'ed.

....clean effective punching is just one of the ways rounds are scored and he did land some good shots, Floyd seemed more puffed up over the eyes than usual. Floyd came on late though....he let Ricky fight his fight for the most part and then he picked apart Ricky in the later rounds

I don't think much of Ledderman's scoring, i mean he had Marquez vs Pacquiao and Castillo vs Mayweather 1, wide scores like 115-111 terrible judging.

Hatton didn't do bad at all. it was a close fight. this is comming from a guy who a couple of years ago had no respect for hatton and always said PBF would spank him.

It wasn't close and PBF did spank him.

You can't even point to a single round in the fight and say definitively that Ricky won it.

It could have been a complete shutout on the cards and there would have been no complaints.

Agree. Since when is connecting on 18% of your punches consider a great performance? Hatton was completely out classed.
