~~~ Final and Official ESB MAYWEATHER v. HATTON ~ ANALYSIS and PREDICTION Thread ~~~

Same here, maybe 9 to 3. Mayweather should have no real problem to see everything Hatton will be throwing at him as well as to found the opening.

 

First, sorry about the double reply it didn't seem to work the first time. I don't have much time but the stiles are almost identical to that fight, and I think that Maweather will try and trade with Hatton like taylor did with Chavez leading to my conclusion of a 12th round stopage.

 

So will Hatton:

1. quit seeing he cannot do it
2. go 12 rounds trying to avoid being punished too much...or...
3. will he spill his guts in there and take the punishment, even if he isn't the same fighter afterwards (a la Lacy)?

 

I've already broken down this fight a dozen times. I can't wait until Hatton gets a dose of PBF's handspeed, footwork and defense. He will be in for the shock of his life, when he realizes that those tactics he employs against everyone else he's fought won't work against PBF.:yep
PBF gives Ricky a boxing lesson and wins by UD or late round TKO. People will then know why many were saying PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Hatton:deal

 

Thanks for the analyses and predictions so far. :good

Any more?:think

 

Ill let you know why now he is a city knacker from manchester!

C'MON UNITED..........

 

i'm going for hatton to win a close decision.

i think hatton will outwork floyd in the 1st half of the fight taking a big lead.
rounds 7 till 10 i see pbf coming back into this fight when he realises the only way he can win this fight is by getting on his toes and boxing hatton instead of getting caught up in a real fight.

as pbf gets his confidence up i think he may start trading on the ropes with hatton again in the last couple of rounds and end up losing a close points decision.

 

Anyone have any more hardcore analysis? Go on, impress us all!:good

 

All logic tells me that Mayweather should win a UD with superior accuracy and handspeed. But then when I think about it, I can see Hatton winning the majority of the rounds due to superior workrate/effective aggression. My brain is deadlocked. Maybe I'm buying into the hype, but having watched 24/7, it seems that Ricky is the more determined fighter. So, I'm leaning towards Hatton by UD.

 

Yap:yep...sounds like it...

 

I just don't believe Hatton has enough to win this fight. I think he will totally outbox him for 12rds. Hatton is smaller and I believe slower. I don't think he is going to be able to bully Floyd. If, Hatton can get to his body consistently, maybe, maybe, he has a shot. I look at this fight and make a comparison to the ODLH fight, and I wonder what Hatton could do differently? I don't see anything different or better, which is why I pick Floyd. Floyd UD winning every rd.

 

I see Hatton coming in with a Plan A and a Plan B, "B" being a damage control approach his corner might ask him to switch to should plan A fail (= outright aggression).

Conversely, Mayweather's versatility should allow him to adjust quickly to whatever Hatton's approach will be.

Mayweather by UD seems logical but I don't exclude him winning by TKO.

 

Floyd 7-5 and 8-4

 

I want to bet some Vcash. How do I do this?
