MAYWEATHER v HATTON

[Kingfisher28]

Speaking from Europe i really hope Hatton knocks the crap out of pretty boy and think he has every chance of doing so - hes brave, clever and ready. Course im not stupid enough to rule out Floyd but does anyone else have a strong view ?? just think Hatton is a shade of value at the lines on offer.

Go HITMAN

eh.... saw him as high as +300 but hes not winning this fight

if he does win it'll be by knockout so instead of taking Hatton Id grab the under 11 1/2 rounds on the fight, that is... if youre confident


laid a G to win 4+ with PBF.... just too skilled a fighter

[Kingfisher28]

hmm i hear you TIme. I just think Mayweathers camp are taking Hatton WAY too lightly - believe me IF Hatton loses this fight it will be close and Mayweather better be ready for a war AND a much tougher fight than he had with Oscar.

sorry guys - newbie on here - just saw the boxing forum! apologies for clutter.

Over 11.5 seems more sensible though, doesn't it? Hatton doesn't seem like he is gonna get knocked out, and their two styles probably dictate that Mayweather will just back up and keep Hatton's devastating blows at bay. All Mayweather did against De La Hoya was the same thing.

oh no doubt.... Id go over 11 1/2 but thats because Im in favor of PBF

I mean if you go Hatton, youre better off going under because the only way Hatton wins this fight is if he catches Floyd off guard due to his aggressive style he will be looking for a KO early and doesn't have the stamina to win a strategical fight with PBF going the distance

Hatton doesn't necesarrily have a better chance of scoring a stoppage than decision. Watch JLC-Mayweather 1, JLC outworks, outpoints Floyd and gets shafted. Hatton doesn't have the stamina....... tell that to Kostya Tszyu. If the fight's close, look for a controversial split decision for Hatton.

Floyd will put on a technical boxing clinic. Floyd by unanimous decision. Over 11.5 looks good.

hatton looks like he's taking it way more seriously. At least according to the show on HBO.

I have never bet boxing and I wonder (due to posts made after some of my comments) if you have to take the round over/under and the winner or just one at a time per bet?

those really are two completely separate bets so you can bet both if you prefer.

straight bet.... you take over 11.5 either fighter can win in a decision and youre straight

I didn't interpret it that way. I think a lot of Floyd's behavior is just smoke & mirrors. He likes to talk a lot of trash, flaunt, but he doesn't take a day off to do it. The man has an unbelievable work ethic. He said he feels its a psychological edge to start training while his opponent sleeps, he busts his ass in preparation.

All I took away from the coverage of Ricky is that he loves his kid, and he will not give up. Floyd loves his kids too, and we know he isn't giving up. I think it will be spun as being a close fight, but from a technical standpoint I see PBF coasting his way to an easy decision. If Floyd gets upset, its not going to be by Ricky Hatton. And in considering the 'rigged' factor of boxing, I don't even think there's that much public interest in Hatton. He's got about as much personality as my sweater.

No riots in Vegas from soccer hooligans with bad teeth after the Hatton loss?I was in London during the Haggler fight in 80 and I felt threatened after the fight because I was an american.
