    A split decision despite him not having any stamina for about 4 rounds :good

    Anyway, Hatton is a unorthodox bodypuncher, so PBF's shoulder roll isn't that important in this fight.

    How will PBF deal with Hatton's body shots is more important.

    I will say this. Floyds philly shell shoulder roll defense and right hand counters is the key to him just beating the brakes off of hatton. Hatton has short arms and cant reach around the twisting mayweather to land a clean body shot like the long armed castillo and ODH were able to do. Hatton has worse defense then both these guys and Hatton does not tuck his chin in when he is fighting. Floyd does not have to worry about landing the overhand right on the brow to hurt his hands. If he punches its going to hit hatton dead in the face. Hatton comes in str8 up and backs up the same way with his gloves real low under his chin in an offensive position. Hatton never had to deal with speed and he will know this come december. When he is in with a fast sharp accurate puncher that is hard to hit.

    He is unorthodox. But that is more of a minus. Hatton moves to the left side of you and reaches around and has to be in close to get off. That will hurt him more then help. Hatton cant crank a left hook from anywhere but unless he got floyd trapped or floyd coming forward trying to brawl like castillo or any other fighter hatton has fought.

    The usual. He'll run, and won't engage in a real fight.
