Should be an interesting fight none the less and it hopefully will be a classic. Crossing my fingers for some action.
Hattons ONE game plan has to be On the inside constantly ripping the torso,arms,ribs with what I think Is understated Handspeed and Nice footwork shifts.For the most part Id say Maywithers head should be an afterthought for hatton.
If Hatton stays at distance and gets wide and extended He'll end up looking like he turned off his home ceiling fan with his face and head.It must be rough and rapid consistently on the inside and I would encourage Maywither to sit in the pocket and Attempt to catch Hatton In between his combinations to body.
I really believe Hatton will set such a pace on the inside (after he gets pasted early as he works his way in) that Maywither will have to alter styles from that "step back,shoulder up with forearm set in L position,potshot,slide and Make
that grimace face" preferred style to a point where Hatton will drag him into the trenches and some inside contact and exchanges are unavoidable.I really don't see Hatton affording Floyd the time and luxury hes used to for the most part.It could be borderline ugly...But It WILL be exciting without a doubt. I need more coffee!
I dont think The sometimes Intrusive Cortez..."I'm fair but I'm Firm" will be a factor here.Although I think he Likes the camera a bit much Hes usually very sound. I was fearing Nady.....with his little pre fight salute Lol.
