This is how I see the fight developiong : Rounds 1-4: Hatton will come in and take the fight to PBF attcking hard and strong to the body, cornering PBF and going to the body while PBF, will be catching the shots on his tight arm defence, he will back Haton up with quick flurries...Hatton will keep bringing the fight to PBF....these rounds willb e brutal for both fighter...Hatton will get hit regularly but you can see that he is determine to pay this price to get inside and atack the body.. Rounds 5-8: We will see more of the same, but by the ed of the 8th round, Hatton will clearly see that PBF ios slowing down,..on these round Hatton will keep bringing the fight to PBF, trying to corner his as much as he can ...PBF will try to keep the fight in the center of the ring but Hatton will bully him to the corner, on this exchagnes Hatton will pay the price even though he will be able to connect to the body.. Rounds 9 -12: At thsi point it is clear that Hattons body work, is paying off, PBF is slow down, yet he is force to fight on the pocket for longer of period of times that he wishes, Hatton has some abbrasion and swallen left eye, yet this is not detracting his from atacking the body...PBF is force to come out of his hit and run style since the fight hangs on the balance of these rounds, When staying in the pocket in the center of the ring he wins the exchanges, yet Hatton keep bullying PBF to the corner with hilcaious body shots.. THe last round, PBF, will show inflamation on his cheeks bones and andhis breathing wll be fast yet he will be able to keep his work rate eventhough his legs are slower than we ever seen PBF in the 12th round of any fight previously...Hatton will keep the pressre and cuasing PBF to drop his arms more to protect his rib cage and at this point Hatton will go to work on the head....
I see it like this: Hatton rushes forward, Mayweather runs away When Hatton gets close enough, the fighters start to clinch and Hatton lands 1-2 punches. After the clinch Mayweather lands a few jabs and a right hand........and this repeats for 12 rounds with occasional flurries from both fighters. After end of 12 Ledderman scores is 116-112....judges will have the same. Mayweather wins.
I don't see Hatton rushing forward like everyone else is predicting. This is what Floyd is expecting and it would be too damn obvious. If I was Hatton, I wouldn't go down this route at all, I'd surprise Floyd and use lots of awkward angles, box intelligently but with a very high work rate.
He would get beat up if he did that imo. So not a good idea. The best idea would be to get inside via a sharp jab.
Agreed, Hatton will take the attitude of this is the way I going to fight you and you know this is the way I am goin to fight you ..and I will beat you fighting just like that.. Any other way, PBF incredible speed attributes will be murderous for him to keep up with PBF any other way
Floyd will be negative for the first 3 rounds flicking out sharp jabs and counter rights to keep hatton honest, but i feel the fight will be won by floyds body punching in the middle rounds maybe a late tko
I disagree. Ricky is a good boxer when he wants to be. There is no way Floyd will beat Rick up. Are you serious? No chance. It won't happen. I never said he should "wait", btw, I said he should use awkward angles and box intelligently but keep up a very high work rate. Keeping up a high work rate does not = waiting. It's quite the opposite. People give Floyd too much damn credit IMO.
Hatton chnaces lays on pressure on the ropes or corners, not in the mddle of the ring PBF reach and speed advantag will be to severe for Ricky to handle..I agree that Ricky is a good boxer but with all honesty is not the boxer that PBF is...and tring to give angles to a quicker oppnent with better speed and movement is suisadal....it be like Chrs Byrd trying to get thru the fron t door against Vladdy, it was stupid and suisadal also....
