Hatton making EXCUSES now... How SAD

Stop crying mate, Hatton got out-Hattoned.

 

Just to take your point a step further...Floyd doesn't like dehydrate himself like 99% of other fighters...so if he fought at 140...he would just dehydrate and rehydrate after the weigh in and still fight at around 147 at the weigh-in. 140 or 147 would be the same thing for Floyd but Hatton would just weigh a little less...

I can't see how that would benefit Hatton at all...

 

:-(

I would have expected better from Hatton. Compare this to the kind of thing that David Haye said after his first loss- "I think I could have boxed better and maybe won, but that would have been boring. He won fair and square."

EVERY boxer has an excuse for losing. They wouldn't be successful athletes if they just said "Well, I guess I'm not good enough"! To become a world class boxer, you have to have an insane level of self-belief, and the ability to point out why you failed at any given chance. HOWEVER, there's a difference between saying "I did x wrong and will learn from it, but he won and I give full credit to him" and pretending that your opponent won ONLY because of the mitigating circumstances.

 

Cortez did exactly as he was asked to do my Billy Graham, let the fight take it's course. Hatton was getting his ass handed to him both inside and outside.

Unless of course you're ok with Hatton holding and hitting tactics and not ok with Mayweather's DEFENSIVE forearm?

All Cortez did was let the fouls go on both sides. He just didn't allow hitting in the back of the head which could cause serious damage.

Good job Cortez!

 

Didn't you lose a bet where you ****-OFF the boards permanently...muttleys gone so at least you'll have one friend:hi:

 

Its called ducking dip$hit. He warned both of them in the second round. Hatton kept smothering and using an armbar to try to smother Hatton and Floyd used counter tactics and then Hatton got KTFO!!!. :bbb

Stop crying!!!

 

No, ducking below the waist is illegal.

In close, Floyd either turned hid head so any punch would be to the back of the head, or ducked under Hatton's leading arm and leaned in, leaving Hatton's arm draped behind his neck in a "clinch" that was not initiated by Hatton. That one is not illegal, but it is definitely a spoiling tactic used by some fighters to stop the action.

I picked Floyd and won money on him too, so I'm not complaining about the result. I'm a fan of both fighters.

 

This dude is the funniest poster on this site. Directly after the fight he started ranting about how Hatton was **** and he got his ass whooped so badly he needed to retire. Talking about how he was a shot fighter because of his eating habits. Then slowly he starts spouting off this bull**** :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Add to the fact he said that before the fight that when Hatton nailed PBF with a hook to the body he'd crumble like (insert video clip of the second WTC falling)

 

1) Cortez broke the fighters up before either man had a chance to "hold & hit".

2) Floyd used his forearm to get punching distance most of the time, which is an OFFENSIVE tactic. Either way, it's illegal.

3) He didn't let fouls go on both sides, the point deduction proves this. A forearm to the neck can cause serious damage too, and Floyd turned his back to initiate the back of the head shot, Hatton did nothing to initiate the forearms except attempt to get close fairly.

"Yea floyd did use his elbows a lot and the ref didn't do **** but hatton got outclassed nonetheless but that definitely was not a 100% hatton i know that for sure he hardly threw punches at times and looked daed on his feet by round 4."

"No i am very disappointed at hatton tonight he looked like a man that didn't get any sleep before this fight looked tired to me from round 1 something very fishy about his performance for me"

"I think he should retire"

That was all on one page of your posts... I'm sure I could find more gems but really can't be bothered :good

 

The ref did a superb job people get over it. WHat Hatton does is not inside fighting. He wasnt trying to go chest to chest and throw punches in the pocket, he was trying to throw 1 punch and grab and hold. THats not inside fighting thats holding. Granted Floyd had his fair share of holding as well, but thats how the game goes. He let it go both ways. Hatton is just mad that he got beat at his own game, and in the end caught an L for it.
Wat baffles me is that Hatton of all people is crying about fouls, does he have a shorterm memory

 

Let's make him ESBs Village Idiot of the Year:good

 

Maybe he was, but the referee should deal with that when it happens, not assume it's going to happen and stop the action as soon as they get close, before they are tied up.

Cortez didn't change the outcome of the fight, but he did play for the cameras (like he always does) and ended up ruining the fight as a specacle.

 

Hatton should listen to his own views on boxing. "This is not a tickeling contest"

 

Hatton was talking about Mayweather making excuses about his hand an look at Hatton...using every excuse in the book.

Hatton was holding onto Mayweather for dear life the whole fight. When Hatton didn't hold his head was snapping back from Mayweather's lead right hands and jabs. Mayweather wasn't swinging his elbows... he was using his elbows/forearms to stop Hatton from holding so much.

And before they came out of their dressing rooms you could hear Hatton's trainer lobbying for Hatton so he could fight his fight (hug and hold). Hatton reminds me of the heavyweight John Ruiz with all that holding and hugging. I am glad he got knocked out the way he did. It's just what he gets.
