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

[yvonne]

I'm just rewatching this for actually the first time since watching it on the night.. I can't believe how boring it is... It was the same recipe of what Hopkins used to win a lot of fights... Floyd used his reach to hit Hatton whenever he was just outside range. Whenever he got a 1/4 of an inch INSIDE range, he would dive forward with his head down and hug him... It's a type of fighting I can't stand!! Some of Floyd other fights were tactical genius and just a pleasure to watch him school opponents the way he did... But the tactic of dive and hug as soon as a fighter gets in range to punch, it's ugly and boring.. If you've got skill outside that reach zone of the other oppnent, you'll win fights that way.. But it's sad to watch..

And personally Floyd has to much game to let Pac win... Even if it took trying to potshot Pac on the outside, and hug him anytime he got close.. It's that sort of gritty arsenal that would ensure a Floyd win... Pac would try to be a warrior about it, but you can't hit someone who has both arms around you... And Floyd just has to many ways of not being hit, and getting under fighters skin, and coming out a point on top of too many rounds..

At least that's what i've garnished from the ugly as hell Hatton fight.. And if a ref doesn't warn or deduct points for constant ducking down and hugging repeatedly, you'll always get an ugly fight like that..

(And on a personal note that was debated to death earlier so I won't go into it again,,, whenever the fighters got close and Hatton had a chance at hitting, Cortez would jump the fuck in and literally rip Hatton's free punching hand away to seperate them... Whenever Floyd grabbed and Hatton had no chance, he'd let the hold go on.... He is a shit inconcistent referee i'll say that much)

If Cortez is the ref for this fight as he was in the Hatton vs Mayweather then it will be another fooking frustrating fight as was the Hatton vs Mayweather fight.Cortez does not understand that boxers are allow to fight in the inside as long as there no fowl play!!!Hatton was'nt able to do what he does best because of Cortez!

Cortez aloud Hopkins to fight and grab on the inside against Calzaghe.

It was an annoying fight to watch. Hatton can fight a lot better than he did and Floyd did all he could to spoil for the first half a dozen rounds. Personally, I would have headbutted Floyd hard and low blowed him too. Anything to get a bit of respect. If the ref is going to be a bitch then you might as well do it proper.

The mood Cortez was in he would of dq'ed Hatton if he did do anything on purpose.I fought Hatton did ok in the first 5 rounds then he lost his composure and then Floyd took complete control.

Probably, but Ricky wouldnt have been KO'ed. And Cortez would probably have got the respect he deserves. Never being able to referee a fight of that magnitude again. Personally, if I was Ricky I would have got up and smashed Cortez in the face. Cortez would have learned his lesson.

But that is probably me saying too much.

Right,Hatton would`nt have been KO`ed,Right,....

Curious? How in the blue hell do you know what would have happened?

Hatton and his fans need to concentrate on what did happen,He lost.By stoppage,fair and square!

It wasnt Cortez`s fault,it was`nt the fault of Ricky`s Crack Head Trainer not being able to hold the mits.It was Ricky`s fault for jumping in on Floyd Mayweather like he was Masaua.

Funny thing is I`am A big Hatton Fan,and was rooting for him to win the fight with Mayweather,despite the ignorant actions of the British fans Booing the American National Anthem prior to the fight.Perhaps Charma was responsable.

What are you talking about?

You are not thought of as the forum gimp for nothing. National anthems, fans and booing? What has that got to do with this?

Hatton is much better than what Floyd was up against. And Floyd isnt so hot after some recent showings IMO either. All the arm tangle shenanigans.

Hatton can still take him.
