    Yes I enjoyed the fight it brought me back to Floyd's days at 130/35 when he was known as a very exciting fighter to watch.

    It was an ok fight but not worth the money. I didn't even buy the PPV. Floyd's PPV fight with DLH was enough to convince me to hold onto my money. Yes, I was aware of Hatton's all-action style but even that wasn't enough to make me shell out $55. I knew Floyd would win and I was quite shocked to see so many so-called experts give Hatton a legit chance of winning. I had absolutely no interest in Lacy/Manfredo either on the undercard.

    I wasn't expecting the stoppage for Floyd but I wasn't completely surprised by it either. I know it's wrong to base one fighter's career off of one fight but I thought the Collazo fight was damning evidence against those who made a case for a potential Hatton victory.You got a light hitting welterweight hurting Hatton at least 3 times and generally making him look bad. Collazo's nowhere near Floyd's stratosphere so this fight was pretty much an open and shut pick for me.

    Oh my god don't even get me started with Steele for that fight :fire . I remember counting 4 times he stopped the fight for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the first 2 or 3 rounds. WTF???!!

    I enjoyed it.

    And is now an under-rated win for Floyd by many on here.

    You mean fair but firm Cortez right?

    I thought it was a good fight...sh*tty undercard didn't do it any favors.

    Yea, I enjoyed the fight. It was pretty exciting from beginning to end. I honestly didn't expect it to be as good as it turned out to be.

    I thought that was kind of cool, even if I don't like Hattonites. Definitely refreshing to see support for their guy even after he got KO'd.

    Good fight and a great atmosphere. Better than a lot of title fights.

    Cortez was defo the star of that fight.
    (he made himself more important than the fighting)
    other than that, it went as planned.

    it was one of the more satisfying fights of last year, i always enjoy fights where class trumps all the other BS in the end
