Did the British fans make the PBF VS Hatton fight more exciting than it really was?

did you see the fans for ARce vs Darchinyan? that was crazy

 

hell yeah.

arce fans actually thought he stood a chance. :roll:

 

i love the brit fans.

they definetly make the fight more exciting. and when they booed out national anthem, that just made floyds KO feel so much better.

 

yes especially on the time that the ring post KOed hatton. There still celebrating. "There's only one Ricky Hatton"..

 

Yea But the Fight was Exciting... Im glad There wasnt Too much Wrestling Going on
I like UFC but not in a Big Fight Like that

 

Yes the fans did make it more exciting which is a good thing.After watching the fight a few times its pretty obvios Ricky is getting a beating from round 2 onwards but the crowd makes it feel as though he is in the fight.

 

Definitely. In reality it was a horribly one sided fight.

 

Hell yeah!!! they were shouting even between rounds!! Its like a continuous siren screaming even when there's nothing really happening. Got to love the way they support their boy!!

 

Your point would have been illustrated better if the people in the video hadn't been singing a football song atsch

 

It's nothing personal, we boo every nation anthem be it boxing or football or any sport.

 

The british fans abroad (the Hatton ones anyway) make me cringe. Half of them in the Mayweather fight probably don't know boxing at all they were just over there for one big **** up and to sing those ridiculous footy chants.

Twats the majority of them are and that's coming from a brit.

 

Booing the anthem was demonstrating a distinct lack of class. By all means boo Mayweather's ring entrance and during the fight but not the anthem.

 

Yep, I found that very offputting... and I'm the kind of guy that usually doesn't give much of a crap whether a crowd boos or not, but to boo the anthem? ****ing classless Brits. :verysad



And going back to the original theme, yes, the crowd brought a much more enthusiastic atmosphere to the fight than it really deserved. Then again they've always done that when Hatton is concerned. At times even calling him as exciting as Tyson was in prime. Pfffft, Hatton doesn't hold a candle to Tyson as far as excitment value is concerned. Have a few less clinches in a fight and then maybe he could have a decent case for such an absurd claim.

 

calzaghe fans in vegas for hopkins were a carbon copy of those fans you describe.
I was there and saw them with my own eyes.

 

british fans make the odds closer..
