Hattons body punching should come to the fore in this fight. If he connects cleanly then Floyd will be looking at the lights. If they go toe to toe we could be looking at a classic. Can I stay awake untill 4 am though, that is the question. Fell alseep during the Calzage fight and that was at 1am, getting old is not good.
Go to bed and set your alarm.
i would only i'm not home from work until 3.......is it on at 4, big undercard ????Quote:

Ridiculous post. do you not understand boxing at all. Mayweather plays a charachter so Americans will spend $65 to watch it on HBO. He might be brasher than hatton but he's far from an idiot, and he wants this just as much as HattonQuote:

Estimated start time is 4am depending on how long the undercard fights take, so if there are a couple of early finishes it might be soonerQuote:

I just think Mayweather is that bit more skillful* and has gotten inside Hattons head.
*I'll admit I base this on only small bits of seeing both boxers.
You've obviously only been seeing the Sky filtered press conferencesQuote:
I've never seen him look so calm in the build up.
My ar$e tbh.Quote:
If anything it's Mayweather who looks rattled
I can't for the life of me understand this groundswell of support for Hatton.Quote:

Personally I much prefer the brash, egomaniac character to the simpleton, possibly homophobe, lager lout character.
ROCKY!! ROCKY!! ROCKY!! ROCKY!! :rolleyes:Quote:

Have you based this on anything whatsoever??Quote:
Hatton wants it more
That's what I thought too but I'm sure I read that it would depend on the undercard, I thought it was a bit strange at the time...Quote:

It looks to me like neither of them are your typical brain-dead arrogant boxer.
Couldn't they just do away with the tiresome press-conference dust-up?
im backing hatton all the way very confident on this one.
no I'm basing it on the three 24/7 episodes so far and the comments coming out of Vegas from both camps.Quote:

I'd also prefer to support the boxer who isn't a woman beating scumbag (not once but found guilty twice). Yeah what a classy guy that Mayweather is. Damn that Hatton for liking a pint of guinness - you know what he must be a homophopic simpleton.
ya hatton seems to be using the fat jibes as motivation, even wearin te t shirt
The whole mayweather is false. They try to create controversy just to increase the amount of people paying per view. This sort of crap is wrecking boxing imo. Its more about the build up than the fight, which usually turns out to be a disappointment. This has turned many traditional boxing fans away from the sport.Quote:

Pretty Boy is gonna romp this one lads. It wont go the distance. Maybe not past the 5th.
mayweather firing a max 100 combinations at a time really is class, no matter how powerful they are. Hatton really does look like a small boy compared to him, i reckon the difficulty hatton has in putting on the muscle ( weight ) could go against him.
Lim, what are ye on about above btw?! utter nonsense. Getting in someones head, doesn't make a slight bit of difference unless they are a big thick a la Eubank. Both these boxers are clever lads, "getting inside the head" wont mean one comes out all guns blazing swinging like a drunkard after 10 whiskeys on a saturday night down in josies in carraroe. :/
The only real way I can see the fight being stopped is if mayweather bleeds bad ( blurring his vision ), then again ive never really seen hatton take a few good belts in a row.
Lads the de la hoya one started at 5, but im not sure this one does. BTW does anyone know if macklin is fighting on the undercard, i read he was, but then when i went to look i couldn't see it. He will be a class fighter in the future, remember that name.
