Hatton wasn't going to be landing any left hook on Floyd on the inside. He is sideways to you on the inside and this means that he is presenting two sides to you. one side is his front and the other is his back - literally his back. The back is illegal to punch so already he cuts half of your offense in half through this. An interesting loop hole the clever ones in boxing have come to exploit. His other side is the one with all of his vitals on it. The only problem is this side is completely being covered with both of his arms. The body is inaccessible and so is the head. So long as he is covering himself in such a manner nothing is going to land. You must first find a way to get him out of this defense if you're goal is to land a punch.

And Hatton surely never did and this ultimately did nothing but tire him as he repeated the same ineffective and frustrated attempts to land punches without first establishing a way to open floyd's defense. I give him at least some credit for being able to answer every bell in light of such demoralizing attempts.
