back from vegas and still completely gobsmacked
What can i say...Hatton imploded before our very eyes and what should of been a wonderful spectacle for the sport we love so dearly turned into a 1 sided massacre that was just painful to watch.
What did he do wrong??
well pretty much everything, the 25,000 or so brits in vegas were promised a new improved, ricky hatton we didnt get that
we were led to believe hatton would have a jab on the night, we didnt get that!!
we were promised a faster more technically efficent ricky hatton and we sure as hell didnt get that.
Hope to god theres no way back for hatton now and we dont get served some old tripe in manchester as a farewell just so he can make a few extra quid. Long story short hatton has been desperately found out twice by far superior fighters who are just to good and powerful for a one dimensional come forward fighter like he is.
Hats off to pacquiao and his army of supporters who were 1st class all weekend and took our good natured banter well, they sure as hell dont represent themselves like the dicks on saddos who let their country down on every single occasion. Dissapointed manny didnt go over to ricky a bit sooner as he would clearly of known hatton could of been in serious trouble but other than that a top performance for a stand out pro.
where does this leave the state of the sport...
in pretty good hands with class acts like manny pacquiao. Pac-mayweather would have fight fans salivating, but i do get the feeling marquez wont fall into the traps hattons been suckered into and may just be able to take floyd to set up manny-marq III!!!
one dangerous horrible bloke
