His corner threw in the towel after he got knocked down a second time.

About a minute into the 10th, Hatton is stuck in the corner. Gets a left to get staggered. Gets out and a 2-3 punch combo he is defenseless. The ref is about to jump in, but Hatton falls down for the KO.

The agressor typically loses in boxing, but Hatton stood no chance otherwise.

Mayweather relies way to much on turning around, for which he did through the first 70% of the fight.

Hatton won 3 of the rounds. Hatton was done after the 7th.

Hatton tried to charge mayweather the whole fight, but mayweather played the tactician, conserved his energy, threw less punches but landed more, and finally nailed hatton with some knockout blows in the 10th.

Hatton's style is very awkward for opponents since he charges with unlimited energy, but doesn't hit hard enough to affect a mayweather, and left himself open too much.

It was a matter of time.

Mayweather showed his greatness, not just for winning, but for adapting to a guy that never stopped charging and holding etc.

I hate this interviewer!

But damn, Hatton's head straight into the turnbuckle during that first knockout didnt help.

No, he hits hard when he lands a clean punch, he knocked Mayweather off his balance in the 1st. The problem is, he couldnt land to many clean punches on Mayweather because of Mayweathers habit of turning around.

hardly......lots of hype, but it was boring to watch, comparatively

Mayweather has lots of speed, power and ability, too bad he can't provide a good entertaining boxing match

Come on...70%?? He turns his left shoulder into Ricky's chest...he knew that was the technique he needed so that Ricky couldn't clinch and couldn't use his free right hand to land punches because all that was there is his back and the back of his head. I saw him turn his back...maybe twice? Actually turn his back...not turn sideways, unless you consider turning sideways as turning his back on him. Once when he was falling over the ropes.

Great technical boxers rarely give much of an entertaining fight...because they use technique....not brawling.

Damn, did all of the UK come there?

He had plenty of chances but the ones that landed had a minimal affect. He got that shot in early, but mayweather was still feeling him out and just tried to let hatton expend some energy. Hatton's strategy was to charge with the shoulder, hold and punch in the grasp, which was bullsh!t. He's awkward and tough, but hardly great. Mayweather played him perfectly once he got a feel after a few rounds.

ehhh......Juan Diaz has good technical style, AND is exciting, Shane Mosely is skilled technically, and he was fairly exciting against Cotto, even though he lost, DeLaHoya usually gives a good show, Klitschkos give good shows
Berndard Hopkins is about the only other one as boring as Mayweather

oh well, just my opinion

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

Mayweather is the best pound for pound fighter in the world. I know the guy is a cocky and arrogant prick, but damn he backs it up in a big way. I've yet to see someone even cut the guy, he's invincible.

See I cannot give him that distinction. He fights guys who are either worn out or smaller and coming up in weight.

Why does he decide now to take a two year vacation? Because if he didn't take one, he would have to fight Miguel Cotto and get his ass handed to him. He carefully picks opponents and for that very reason, he does not deserve the P4P #1 distinction.

I would tend to agree with you. I'm not sure that Cotto would hand his ass to him...but i have no doubt Cotto would probably beat him. Floyd is very careful about who he fights.

Cotto is brutal in the ring. I can understand why Mayweather would avoid him, but don't call yourself #1 while doing so. I tip my hat to Mayweather though as he kept his cool in this fight, and that is hard to do against hatton.

I have boxing fever again though. I cannot wait for the Pavlik vs Taylor rematch. Fight of the year 2007 could be fight of the year 2008 also.

I don't know about Cotto beating Mayweather. Cotto is good, but the Mosley he beat wasn't in his prime and it was still a very close fight. I see Mayweather winning, although I hope Cotto knocks his ass out. Mayweather can't be considered invincible, and the greatest, just like you said he hand picks his opponents and refuses the fight the best. Maybe if he fought fighters like Kostya Tsyzu.

It is hard to keep your composure and cool against Hatton...he's a beast and never backs down. I love that about him.

I always get boxing fever after watching a match like this and talking about it. Same thing happened after watching Mayweather/DeLaHoya. LOL
