Another reason they fought at WW: Hatton's last fight was at LWW and Floyd's was at LMW. It seemed unfair for one of them to move 2 divisions so they fought at the one inbetween (where Hatton had already won a title by the way).
Does kilt-chko have any fans left ? I watched a bit of his last fight when he was throwing them handbag jabs as if he needed to change his tampon. What a big time ***** Manny has turned Wlad into. No wonder Haye think so little of him.
considering what he was coming back from, and the heart of his opponent, i thought he did well enough. it wasn't a boring fight, even though his opponent was even more of a grappler than the hitman. i think the show has served its purpose. malignaggi vs hatton at MSG with hatton starting as the favourite and then a fight with PBF or DLH next up.
I honestly think there would be less Hatton "fanboys" on here if there were less irrational and petty hate directed towards Hatton. I find myself posting A LOT more often supporting Hatton than I'd like, purely because haters start/ hijack threads pretty much every day. I know I should ignore it but it does get difficult...:roll:
I didn't even think Hatton was hurt before the lace thing. He took a couple of decent shots but he wasn't on ***** St. or anything. He wasn't close to being knocked down.
He was somewhere close to ***** St. in the 10th, but it was close to the end of the round. I think he would have gotten up, ridden the rest of the round and come back in force in the eleventh (which he did anyway).
