The reason I know I was poisoned was because up to 7.59 and from 8.01 onwards I didn't give him a cat in hell's chance.:huh Was Saddam still alive then?
Hahaha no mate, I think Saddam was in the clear by that point. I assume you stayed up and watched it? Man i was devastated when Hatton hit the canvas.
It's not strange. It's a well documented phenomenon. It's called britardation. It affects who they bet on, what they say, how they view fighters. It's really sad when it happens, but researches are hopeful that it can be prevented.
All I heard the whole week was Hatton fans. They were a small group but it felt like millions of crazy people, they made their presence felt. The British fans were very passionate but man were alot of them rude. Looking back at it today the whole build up and the event itself was spectacular, mostly thanks to the British fans.

Floyd looked superb that night? Tbh i don`t think either of them did.Mayweather with some illegal elbow,ducking below waist and holding and Hatton fighting with his face.
Rewatch the last few rounds when Floyd started opening up and even using his jab and mixing it up to the body. It was pretty impressive stuff. I watched the fight with a bunch of non-fans rooting for Ricky. By about the 4rd round, it was clear they were in for a long night and I was a drunken loudmouth mess basically saying "I told you so."
Proof that special boxers have tricks up their sleeves which separates the good from the gooder.Morales, Marquez and Mayweather have what is called the x factor which makes them great.That is knowing how to win and what to do to win at any cost. The tricks of the trade. Magician? almost...... because he got away with it but he didn't fool the the real boxing fans that knew he was using illegal tactics. I reckon the X factor is a BRAIN! Hatton kept doing the same **** over and over again. Floyd was dissecting him picking the right strategy and he found the answer/solution.
