    PBF's accuracy is amazing. He must've landed about 75 flush right hand leads and about 25 flush left hooks. Hatton might've landed 10 flush shots.

    When PBF decided to throw combinations at about the 7th on, he was amazing. Shows you what he's capable of when he decides to come forward.

    Hatton's still a pretty good fighter. I can see how he can give a lot of people problems. But he was just a class below PBF like everyone else. I can still see why some people would put him in the top 20 PFP list.

    This fight analysis by Emanuel Steward is further reason why he's an idiot. Only until PBF was clearly picking apart Hatton, did Steward change his tone to favor PBF. But that's after the fact. Before, he kept saying how this is Hatton's type of fight. Only later did he say something like, "Hatton isn't moving his head enough." Anyone with an eye could see that PBF was cleanly tagging Hatton from round 1 on. This guy needs to just retire.

    That's why I was surprised with a lot of Hatton's excuses not just straight after the fight when the andrenaline was flowing but weeks later and even up to the present when he was talking about a rematch the other day. Even though he was agressive and busy almost all of his work was ineffective.

    That fight was awesome. Ebb and flow, then Floyd begins to take full control.

    Another thing i forgot to mention.

    I give Hatton a lot of credit for keeping it clean. He had so many chances to purposely turn his head one way or another to try to "accidentally" force a cut while they were rubbing heads. But i guess that thought never crossed his mind. If that was Hopkins, PBF would've been cut in round 1.
