    Here the streets of Manilla were empty when time came for the fight to show and usually Manilla is very crowded. It seem everyone was watching the fight. Was it the same way in England?

    The street in front of me was pretty lively but that was because folk were returning from the pubs and clubs.

    I have not met one person who saw the fight.

    well boxing isnt so big over here any more and Hatton is our biggest attratction but people arnt big enough fans to stay up for it. basically boxing or Hatton isnt popular enough here to have a real big impact like Manny

    Well I wasn't on the street as i watching the fight.

    Actually the first time I heard someone who isn't a boxing fan mention it was when I was out earlier today (comments along the lines of Ricky Hatton is soft as ****, how could he knocked out? We thought he was the best ever. The only other comment was why didn't the ref stop the fight earlier)

    I try to tune out idiots who know **** all about boxing, but sometimes it's so hard.

    Funnily enough, the first I heard of guys who aren't boxing fans talking about it was the Sunday mornig when I went and played my footy match for my club. My manager and a few of the lads had seen it and they seemed fairly sensible about it. Not just saying Hatton is ****, but decent comments like 'Pacquiao was just too fast for him' or 'Hatton couldn't see the punches coming'. I was pleasantly surprised.

    You'd rather see the nutjob domestic fighter who isn't going to go up a level in boxing and never really was and definately will not now (don't mention Tyson or Vitali you'll embarras yourself further), over the P4P number one fighter who is trained by the P4P number one coach?

    You really do need mental health treatment. Also I assume you caught the Williams fight for free and didn't order the PPV in which you're a cheap git with no mates.

    Although I have had suspicions about you and Williams was doing you or were you just having a wet dream?

    Oh by the way you still haven't named your local gym have you kid? If you have and I missed it then I apologise. But why not name it right here right now. Come on Kool? Either man up or admit to being a bullshitter.

    Hearing that from casual fans would have brought a smile to my face. You're lucky my friend.
