    Glad I'm not the only one that gets upset over boxing. It also pisses me off that when your football team loses, it's OK to be upset, but if your boxer loses and it gets to you people think it's weird. But that's beside the point.

    Did he?

    I had it 3 - 3.



    Hatton - Mayweather was hard to watch. As was Hatton - Pacquiao.

    Pretty bad feeling. I don't really get too emotionally invested in individual fighters so it doesn't happen too often. Of course I always want somebody or other to win but I'm usually not overly bothered and just want to watch a good fight.

    Last one where I felt **** had to be Kessler/Ward, that was a ****. Kessler was poo in that fight and the cuts made it pretty hard to watch.

    Hatton-Pacquiao was bad for me. I'd been at a free bar all night and to stop me falling asleep, i had 8 coffees so had the mental state of a smack head. When Hatton got put down twice in the first i was gutted. Worse was when he missed with a hook and ended up on the canvas. It was that point i realised he was out of his depth.
    i really thought he was coming back in the 2nd (certainly not winning it by a country mile) but landing some hurtful shots. I got a bit more excited then boom! Pacquaio's left hook and Hatton was sprawled on the canvas.
    I was all alone in my caffeine/booze induced state, thinking my favourite fighter was seriously injured.
    ...And i couldn't get to sleep until 8am because of the caffeine and the adrenaline and was in a stinking mood the next day. It's not like a football team getting relegated; they can come back. When your favourite fighter gets beaten like that, you know it's over.

    3-3 after 6? You're having a laugh. The most Margo won was a round, he wasn't landing anything in the first half of the fight, just stalking Cotto. It's the 2nd half where the pressure actually began to tell and he started having some success.

    I remember after 5 or so round people were making threads in the GF saying how one-sided the fight was.

    When Tyson fought Lewis, I really thought Tyson would win and I was telling all my mates at school Tyson would, had some mates round to watch it aswell.

    When Hatton lost against Mayweather, was gutted for about a week after lol.

    Cotto vs Margarito was horrible to watch as a big Miguelito fan; especially when he looked electrifying for the first six rounds or so.

    He was definitely rated off the back of nothing. I was rooting for Katsidis anyway, much to the chagrin of all those sat around me:D

    My cousin said as we left; 'shut up with your Katsidis **** now, you'll get filled in':lol:
