Hatton/Floyd = F* what a boring fight...!

[Dizaster]

For me it get`s tireing to hear people make excuses for Hatton loseing the fight with Mayweather,Esp. because the ref made Hatton fight inside the rules of Boxing.As far as Floyd`s gameplan in the fight,I dont know what was expected,Floyd is not A brawler?never has been,what was he supposed to do?stand there and brawl with Hatton?and fight his fight?I knew that was`nt gonna happen,as far as the point deduction goes,I thought it was perfectly in line,last I looked you cannot take A shot at the back of A guy`s head when he is completly turned around,the punch really did`nt land that`s true but the intent was what caused the deduction,Hatton lost because he wrecklessly jumped in on Mayweather and got caught with A counter left hook that ruined him,Mayweather is not Masaua.

I havn't read in all the post so far in this thread, anyone making excuses for Hatton losing.... I am peresonally tired of people hearing a subject, and automatically assuming the message or aguement people are trying to make.

Hatton lost, in fact for a fair bit of the fight, the ref DID let him fight his way, and he went overboard, smothered his own work, and lost it for himself.. And I havn't see anyone else say anything to the contrary above..

I was simply pointing out the inconsitency of the ref in this particular fight, because this was the fight I watched last night... And NOT in the context that Hatton lost because of it... So i'm sorry if you're tired of that arguement, but no one is making it here..

I'm also staying well clear of the point that a fighter has to brawl for me to enjoy it... There are few, and I mean few fights that I really consider boring... And even fewer actual fighters..
But, at some stages, a certain style can get frustrating.. It's nothing against Floyd, and for most of his fights i'm in awe... But sometimes, in some fights, some fighters have a really ugly ass way of not getting hit... It's simple..

It's still boxing, and the back and forth ways fights go, and the battle for the opponent to overcome whathever a guy is throwing at him is what boxing is all about.. So no, I don't need to guys to be slamming each other mindlessly to enjoy a fight.. Not at all.. But there will be fights here and there where I get frustrated... This is one of them...

However it does get a little better as the fight goes on... And actually the whole point which I probably didn't highlight enough was that I don't think Pac could beat Floyd simply because he's capable of handing all sorts of offence, with all sorts of defence... Of course he can throw back as well when need be.. But it's hard to look back on Pac's history and find an opponent that is as good at nullyfing a fighters offence as Floyd..

So you gotta believe at least 80% of what was effective on poor old Oscar is either not going to be thrown at Floyd because his head isn't there, or it's going to be miss in some way and be ineffective..

I didn't think it was that bad just Floyd knew how to win and did it!

JT,

If you don't agree with me it's fine. No need to cross the line through neg reps. I was simply telling people that I don't like the current style of Mayweather.

Many would agree with me that they find him boring. It's simply a matter of opinion. I like boxers who brawl. Can you blame me for finding PBF boring?



Kingfrank,

Mayweather was rumored that he will be fighting in the MMA before. I was simply predicting.What's wrong with it?

Agreed. For much of the fight, Hatton had plenty of opportunity to fight his way, but like Taeth said, Mayweather just outclassed him on the inside, as badly as he outclassed him from the outside. Simple as.

Well,End of the day,like the Brits like to say,it really did`nt matter,because Ricky got his block knocked off.te;br

Nobody made excuses in this thread for Hatton losing? Really?

Joe Fucktez deducted a point in the 6th (I'm pretty sure it was the 6th) and then Hatton lost it, simple as Ah well.

He had Coruptez make it a 2 against 1 match.

Sounds like excuses to me. I didn't know Cortez shoved Mayweather's fist into Hatton's mouth. I think that's where the KO came from.

I was shocked with the ref in the fight, you could even see old Popkins doing his nut ringside, but at the end of the day you could tell that Jnr had Rickys number after a few rounds and even with out the dodgy ref Floyd had to much for Ricky at that stage of his career, take it from me I was gutted, so many ifs and maybes. Respect to Floyd he can fight any style and for the hatton haters a little vid for you.
