    Yeah, that was class from Hatton. He was winning that round by a country mile, and it says alot about him that he lay prostate for so long, especially after outclassing Manny so comprehensively up until that point.

    Bernard Dunne's reaction when he lost to Poonsawat. He made no excuses as he knew he just lost to the better man.
    Jamie Moore seems like such a genuinely nice guy which showed in how he took the loss to Rhodes.

    Matthew Hatton and Ashley Sexton are two of the most ungracious ****ers in defeat, obnoxious little ****s the pair of them.

    would probably agree more on this with regards to sexton. Matthew is godly

    Paul Williams took his loss to Quintana pretty well, admitted he was basically crap all night and played into his opponents hands.

    Oh, Sergio Martinez vs Cintron, even though it wasn't a loss.... knocking your opponent out, celebrating, then being told to carry on fighting, winning the rest of the fight hands down then to discover two judges with white sticks at ringside :patsch

    Kessler vs Calzaghe, made me an instant fan of the guy when previously i just saw him as a european hype job.

    Exactly.

    If you actually look closely he blocked the punch that resulted in the second knockdown. I think he went down with a bad hand more than anything. It was actually Mayweather Sr's fault - if he had not of tried to teach Ricky to keep his hands up and block, Ricky would have easily taken the punch on his granite chin. Bad gameplan from Mayweather Sr
