Re: Happy New Years from Wacko!!!! Scanning through HBO's fights of the year....
Believe it or not...as much as I loved the fight & the show by me bwoy...this was not my favorite of the year.
For that option...I voted Pavlik vs Taylor.
Either way...I did notice something...& it caused me to basically start this thread.
I have some issues with, what was, my favorite commentating team...here it be...& why.
Cheers & Happy New Years bitches!!!
Floyd vs. Hatton : Up to the 55th second of the 4th round, HBO was on prepared to ride Hatton’s sack the duration of the bout. As usual Emanuel Steward showed his hatred & stupidity in all regards for Floyd Mayweather by saying that Hatton was dominating & confusing Floyd. Steward’s a tool…he said that he wouldn’t have taken a point from Hatton because Floyd fights the majority of his fights with his back turned…even though Hatton had been warned for 5 rounds about hitting behind the head & he then hammered Floyd behind the head & then pushed him through the ropes while hitting him behind the head…again. Fuck Manny! They then started crying about Cortez…fair but firm Cortez. The thing is…he was on Floyd as much as he was Hatton. Hatton lost a point & justly so…he didn’t argue over it…other than turning his ass & back to Floyd. Lampley & Merchant chimed in to say that Floyd couldn’t be Floyd due to the fact that Hatton was so fast & Floyd was used to facing slow plodding fighters like Baldomir…they must’ve forgotten Judah. Hilarious. After the 7th…Floyd was applauded for his flurries & right hand leads. Once Floyd turned it on in the 8th when Floyd almost broke Hatton in half with body shots & that massive straight right…it was all Floyd love from then on out. Then, after Floyd sent Hatton through the turn buckle & ass out on the mat…it was the performance of the year. Total fwockin’ douche bags. Sickening.
I’d like to say this about this bout…the rabid support of Hatton & the hatred of Floyd made me want to see a Mayweather knockout over Hatton…I had no idea that I would’ve actually gotten what I had wanted…in truth…after seeing Hatton on the canvas…I’d have wished for the opposite.
Afterwards…I had from fans, writers, & commentators what I said that I would here…Hatton was out of his weight class & Floyd was too big for him.
Hilarious.
Need I mention that Floyd was a natural 130lb to 140lb fighter? Nah…I didn’t think so.
If it was tough for me to swallow...how bittersweet a bout it must've been for Hattonians.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
