MAyweather was another level,bigger than Hatton,there was at least a few top 5 fighters at 147lbs that would`ve given him severe difficulties as did Collazo.Bent ref or not Mayweather will always beat Hatton.
If you notice in that same dumb ass video in each and every instance..Ricky was doing illegal tactics. Rules of Boxing From Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia Jump to: navigation, search The rules of boxing vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and on whether it is an amateur or professional bout. A violation of the following rules is considered a foul, and can result in a point deduction or disqualification: * You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent. * You cannot hit with your head, shoulder, forearm, or elbow. * You cannot hit with an open glove, the inside of the glove, the wrist, the backhand, or the side of the hand. * You cannot punch your opponent's back, or the back of his head or neck (rabbit punch), or on the kidneys (kidney punch). * You cannot throw a punch while holding on to the ropes to gain leverage. * You can't hold your opponent and hit him at the same time, or duck so low that your head is below your opponent's belt line. * When the referee breaks you from a clinch, you have to take a full step back; you cannot immediately hit your opponent--that's called "hitting on the break" and is illegal. * You cannot spit out your mouthpiece on purpose to get a rest. * If you score a knockdown of your opponent, you must go to the farthest neutral corner while the referee makes the count. * If you "floor" your opponent, you cannot hit him when he's on the canvas. * A floored boxer has up to ten seconds to get back up on his feet before losing the bout by knockout. * A boxer who is knocked down cannot be saved by the bell in any round, depending upon the local jurisdiction's rules. * A boxer who is hit with an accidental low blow has up to five minutes to recover. If s/he cannot continue after five minutes, s/he is considered knocked out. * If the foul results in an injury that causes the fight to end immediately, the boxer who committed the foul is disqualified. * If the foul causes an injury but the bout continues, the referee orders the judges to deduct two points from the boxer who caused the injury. * If an unintentional foul causes the bout to be stopped immediately, the bout is ruled a "no decision" if four rounds have not been fully completed. (If the bout was scheduled for four rounds, then three rounds must have been completed.) If four rounds have been completed, the judges' scorecards are tallied and the fighter who is ahead on points is awarded a technical decision. If the scores are even, it will be called a "technical draw." * If a boxer is knocked out of the ring, he gets a count of 20 to get back in and on his feet. He cannot be assisted. * In some jurisdictions the standing eight-count or the three knockdown rule also may be in effect. * In other jurisdictions, only the referee can stop the bout.
I will repeat. In each instance Hatton was fighting dirty. He held the ****ing ropes and hit. He hit on the break multiple times in combination...your own dumb ass video shows that. He is coming forward NOT punching and trying to initiate a wrestling match in every occurence. Oh Floyd used his elbows...if Floyd was coming forward throwing elbows you have a point but if he is using elbows to pry Hattons wrestling ass off of him. If you watch the ****ing FIGHT and not just the few Floyd infractions you will see Hatton fought dirty as he always does and just got it back in return. ****ing Euro.
In every orfice of that video YOU posted is showing Hatton coming forward PUSHING..yes ****ing PUSHING both gloves in Floyds chest trying to push him back to the ropes... ****ing euros post a video showing their hero EXPOSED.
the fight wasnt close. AT ALL. hatton/fans got all the excuses in the world about this fight: -the ref -ricky came in too pumped up & didnt follow his game plan -dirty tactics -trainer -location -weight: 147 not 140 -ricky just got caught am i missing anything else? at the end of the day: -ricky got KTFO -the ref stopped the fight -his corner threw in the towel ALL at the same time.
The first few rounds were pretty good for Hatton, he put Mayweather under way more pressure than he was used to, and he struggled to deal with it at first. Go listen to Roger Mayweather in the corner at the end of the first round, which Hatton won and managed to stun Mayweather with a snappy jab, and they were worried. After about round 4-5 though, it was all Mayweather. Hatton didn't win a round after 5, I only have Hatton rounds 1, 4 and 5, and once Mayweather had figured out his timing properly he put on a beatdown, but it took him 5 hard rounds before he could do that. Mayweather got a real test that night, Hatton might not be skilled but he put Mayweather under incredible pressure in those first few rounds. Mayweather had to be at 100% to win that fight, and I honestly believe that Hatton's raw determination and spirit made Floyd bring the best out himself. Floyd himself said this, that Hatton was the "toughest competitor" he ever faced, he knew he'd been in a fight. It was a wonderful performance by Floyd, and Hatton made it close enough in the first few rounds to avoid the embarassment of a performance like Gatti. He made it competitive, he made Floyd actually dig deep and FIGHT, unlike Carlos Baldomir and Gatti and Corley and these other guys who Floyd just embarassed without even breaking into a sweat.
I am still laughing at you giving Hatton round 4. And you highlighting a jab which is one of 5 punches Hatton landed cleanly the whole fight. Unless you are talking about that phantom jab that gif shows clearly missed completely.
I thought it grazed Floyd's chin? Anyway I'm not arguing over rounds. Maybe I'm wrong with 4. Maybe it's 2. I had Hatton with 3 rounds, 1 and 5 deffo, if I ****ed up then fair enough. It's been a while since I watched it to be honest.
mayweather-hatton ppv = $50 food & beer for the party = $70 the look on brits faces when ricky got KTFO..... = PRICLESS
I loved it when Ricky fell down on his own accord after trying to back up. Cortez waves the fight off and the camera zooms out and you see all the brits who are mostly in the cheap seats just standing there, silent and still. :rofl:rofl:rofl
But Floyd and Pac don't really fight the same. Not saying Floyd isn't capable, but he normally doesn't fight like Pac. So the comparison doesn't make to much sense when you put it into context of how the fight might play out.
simple question- why did Cortez allow Ricky to fight on the inside against castillo but not PBF? Within seconds of the opening bell I thought Cortez had been 'influenced'
