Sacco ended Hatcher's short prime. Hatcher was a classic overachiever. The dude had monster sized Ba@@s.
Is this the only footage? Unfortunately only 2 mins of round 1. Looks really good, no feeling out at all and nice skills with it.
Only footage of it I've ever found of it, but I grabbed this one like 10 years ago so I don't know if the complete fight has been found since then.
Their first fight was quite good, and Hatcher showed that he was in fact world-class and not just an overachieving club fighter I think. He held his technique far better later in the fight than Sacco, who incrementally broke down under the studied pressure of the champ.
I feel like such a dumb ass not knowing there was a full source out there. Oh well. At least I hopefully turned a few people onto a great fight.
Yeah, thanks for that! Yours is also way better quality. Unfortunate it's not full. You uploading boxing again, then?
I have both fights and they are both pretty good fights. The second one reminds me a bit of Marquez vs Katsidis. Hatcher was tough as nails sometimes too tough for his own good a reason why his prime was short lived. Good thread Russ.
