Hatton vs Mayweather

It really wasn't.
UK fees had floyd winning going away by the time the KO happened

 

I see what you did there and..... JMM vs Mayweather.

Thread closed.

 

Hatton fight was not close at all,stop listening to commentators

 

Floyd embarrassed Hatton,the round before he knocked him out he was playing with him and taking to Shan

 

Watch it with YOUR OWN eyes and score it yourself.

 

The thing that annoyed me most about this fight in hindsight wasn't the actual reffering of Cortez in this particular fight, to appease the hometown fighter, but how his rules was totally different when Hopkins faced Calzaghe to appease the homefighter (also reffred by Cortez).

It wouldn't make a difference to who actually won those fights with if he'd reffred both consistently, however the manner of victory would've been different, with Mayweather winning on points (with the Hops-'Zaggers rules) and Calzaghe winning by TKO (with the Floyd-Hatton rules) :nod

 

How was Calzaghe gonna TKO Hopkins, a fighter who has never been stopped inside the distance, with his slaps? Even Kovalev couldn't stop Hopkins!

 

Watch the fight yourself..not one scorecard or many press score agreed with Lederman

 

Did you watch the fight. Hopkins was gassing like hell, unable to keep up with the relentless pace set by 'Zaggers. Without taking all the short cuts the ref allowed him to he wouldn't have made the final bell.

In fact, when he faked a low blow and went down the ref should've begun counting him, and he'd pull the same stunt he did when he quit against Dawson.

 

I watched the fight live in fact. He was gasping, but come on, Hopkins is one of the smartest fighters in history, worst case scenario is that he would have a couple of point deductions, he would have found a way to survive to the final bell.

As on the Dawson fight, why would Hopkins quit in the second round? That is an absurd assumption, but then you are not exactly an unbiased observer are you?

 

Because he saw a way out of a fight he never wanted with Dawson in the first place.

If, you recall, Dawson had called out Hopkins for years. After Pascal beat Dawson the first time, Dawson became his mandatory. However Pascal was granted a voluntary first and he fought Hopkins but that ended in a controversial draw- they was allowed a rematch but both had to agree to face Dawson immediately after.

After Dawson knocked him down Hopkins saw his escape route and took it. I've seen that crybaby face of Hopkins before:

:crybaby I saw it vs. Robert Allen,
:crybaby I saw it vs. Joe Calzaghe.
:crybaby I saw it in the Jones rematch.
:crybabyI saw it in the Dawson fight.

If you have not seen that, you clearly are not as an astute observer of the sweet science as me.


Class dismissed. :thumbsup

 

Rather than an astute observer, you are primarily a troll with a nationalistic agenda (although some of your threads that are agenda free are good).

If Hopkins didn't want to fight Dawkins, why did he actually sign on to a fight and then sign up for a rematch? Your logic is puzzling, but then again you are probably trolling

 

So this turned into a Hopkins thread?
