    I know it's part of the game but i don't like seeing fighters get laid out like that. Hatton was out before his head hit the canvas and when he was looking up at the ref it looked like right side of his face was caved in. i can think of only a handful of ko's like that. One being Roy Jones vs Glenn Johnson. I hope Hatton is ok after that.

    Thats what happens when you rush in with hooking punches and no guard...

    it was bad...it also puts the docs in a tough spot b/c you don't want the person moved if they have a possible head injury but on the other hand you dont want him choking on his tongue.

    it seems he will be ok and thats good. never want to see a fighter get hurt like that but thats part of it i guess.

    Disturbing to see but a demonstration of why boxers deserve a decent purse for their risks (albeit only a few get the return they deserve).

    I was a little embarrassed after the fact.

    I was in a room full of Pacquiao fans and dudes with bets on Manny. We were jumping around, then all of a sudden I looked at the screen again and saw Hatton was in rough shape.

    That was a brutal KO, and I never wish harm on ANY fighter.

    Yeah me and my boys were going absolutely nuts then when I saw Ricky in the shape that he was in, it broke my heart. I'm glad he's ok.
