    Thing is we have the benefit of rewatching the fight tape. I can slow it down to actually see if a punch connected...and how cleanly it landed and with how much leverage it had. But after watching it again on quality video instead of sopcast, my analysis is that mayweather was winning the fight with hatton turning the momentum ...the deduction happened and it turned ugly like corrales-mayweather.

    what people don't realize, is the sequence right before the deduction, hatton got a very clean good shot in, very compact and lots of leverage,...followed up by a couple more semi good shots. PBF hangs on to hatton's glove and hatton being aggressive hits him on back of head while trying to free pbf off his left glove.

    EDIT: this shot was one of the best shots hatton his all night...it was at 2:14 in the 6th round.....hatton initially comes in...gets tapped by a light jab ...gets close...pbf..extends his elbow to hatton's face...hatton creates some distance...gets his legs under him and throws a compact leveraged right straight into pbf's face which clearly stuns pbf.

    thought it could of been 3-2 hatton after 5 rds but all the rds were close and could of gone either way. the 8th ws the beginning of the end. hatton was tiring by then and almost ko'd there with similar hook

    I was surprised by this, he didn't seem to have any problems getting to Floyd, which I think may have surprised Floyd a little.

    i definately thought rounds 1 and 2 were close. I have 1 to pbf do to him getting better shots in at the end. round 2, i thought both fighters landed good punches, but hatton dictated the round and you could even make the case that hatton's punches were better landed. Overall, 2nd round was most even.

    The first rd could be scored either way. The 2nd was definately Hatton and also 5th. After Hatton lost his rag with Cortez he lost the fight.

    Hatton made Mayweather uncomfortable in there, which is more than anyone has done in years. Even when De La Hoya won a few rounds early, you rarely thought Mayweather was doing anything other than bide his time, but Ricky shocked him in the first few rounds....He made Mayweather complain to his corner.

    Mayweather proved himself, but Hatton MADE him bring his game to the highest level it's been at in years. Instead of fighting down to the level of his opponent, he fought up and above which is why it ended so spectacularly...if Hatton wasn't a threat, it wouldn't have ended so spectacularly. It would have been another cruise control decision, but it wasn't - And I feel Hatton deserves some credit for that as well as the champion does for raising his game.

    Best i could possibly give Hatton is two rounds, but that is in a very generous mood. Realistically scoring, for all round contribution, he gets one round. He didn't land, got hit at will and was beat not only on the outside but on the inside to.

    Yes. when people say that Ricky brought out the best in Floyd, i have to ask myself, would Floyd stand toe to toe with Cotto like he did with Hatton? Mayweather saw Hatton's weakness's and capitalised.

    Preach champ and this is coming from a "Money" fan. Last week I had a post called "Cheap Mofos" and the reason for that title is that people will skew the results for their own sake. That's why watching the fights LIVE is mandatory for myself...:good
