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

[RozzySean]

If you don't like watching Mayweather and think all his fights are boring, maybe, but I thought this was the most entertaining fight for Floyd in years.

I'm a big Hatton fan, but I let's be fair. Ricky beat KT using all kinds of borderline tactics, and he's used them pretty regularly. I don't know of too many people complaining about how Dave Parris let Hatton get away with bloody murder against Tzsyu. I know, the complaint against Cortez is that he let Floyd get away with elbows but wouldn't let Ricky hold and hit. I guess what goes around comes around. That's part of boxing, and Hatton should have known that he couldn't fight the same fight against Mayweather. It's wasn't Floyd's elbows that hurt Hatton, it was the counterpunchers. Even if he had been able to get away with it, it wouldn't have mattered because Floyd was getting the better of him inside and out.

Still, Hatton was making it competitive until the point deduction. I don't know if he lost his composure, or if just realized that he would need KO and went for broke. I gotta give him credit, he went in to win or go out on his shield. Floyd deserves more credit than he gets for stopping Hatton. It shows that Floyd still has power against people who at his natural weight. That was a beautiful counter hook and a great example of ring generalship to take advantage of Hatton's over aggression like that.

I wouldn't mind seeing them do it again if Hatton gets past Pac. Mayweather Sr. is making some nice improvements to Hatton. I'm not sure if would daddy actually train Ricky to fight Jr, but wouldn't it be a great story if he did? I just hope that Ricky keeps his weight down and keeps fit. At his age, his usual antics are going to take a much harder toll on his body. I don't see him getting past Pac if he blows up in weight between now and May needs to take it all down again.

Ricky starts training for Pac, February the 1st. He only has 1 month to put weight on.

Wow, a full month camp! That portends well for Hatton fandom Of course with him out of training for the holidays, he may have put on 30 already
