I'm deadly serious mate. I didn't see Cortez aid and abet in that one. Looked like glove on chin, head on ring post.
Nah, mate. I know how these discussions decend into farce when you're in this mood. You know my opinion and what I'm trying to say.
I just think you're expecting a little too much from referees not named Dave Parris or Foster to prevent Mayweather from punching Nah, I see where you're coming from regarding frustration setting in and not letting Hatton "work". Unfortunately we'll never agree that his work is legit in the first place so I don't have the same issue. But I've also had this argument ad naseum with Ray, I mean trotter and a lot of guys need to refresh themselves on the rules of the sport. Nighty night friends:good
Thats fine. I have no problem whatsoever with us disagreeing on this, the validity of Hattons work and Cortez' handling of Hopkins against his handling of Hatton, its just a little late at night to be doing it yet again...;O) Sweet dreams!!
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7bLBz1ouOg&feature=related[/url] the story of mayweather vs hatton. Hatton tried to headbutt mayweather in that fight at least 15 times, it was ridiclious. when hatton gets pissed of and hit floyd under the ropes its because he goes for 3 headbutts that get stopedby mayweather. i am dealy serious. nothing mayweather did in the fight was against the rules of boxing, stuff ricky did was.
Come on. Maywether was using forearms very well during that fight, isn't that against the rules? Is breaking fighters BEFORE they've even cliched? I've no problem with Mayweathers forearms going unpunished, thats boxing and bit of roughing up has always gone on (despite what some people would have you believe!!) but the early breaks WERE against the rules and really hurt Hattons chances of getting his roughing up done. Why allow one and not the other? Especially strange when you consider how Cortez handled Hopkins-Calzaghe a few months later.
That's a great little compilation video, "You're gonna whoop my arse, you're gonna kick my arse?.. F*ckin kiss my arse." Hatton can sell a fight very well when he really dislikes his opponent. It makes me actually wish Hatton-Witter happened, just to see Hatton in the build up to another fight where he hates his opponent. He's at his most comical when he doesn't like someone.
Yes Hatton can be quite condescending and arrogant when he's pumped. I think that is one of the reasons for having as many haters as lovers :good
nonsense. he got buzzed up a couple of times and saw it thru. it was no worse than that. no way was he on the verge of going. hatton will beat malignaggi pretty convincingly. then it looks like the DLH-pac winner at wembley stadium. neither of those will be easy. you'd have to make both favourite to beat rick. :roll:
he's no mr elusive is he. he's a decent mover but nothing special. hatton is good at closing guys down and is accurate at picking em out. :bbb malignaggi blocks the body off well but is open to head shots. :!: hatton on a wide-ish decision. 4 to 6 pts on the cards. perhaps a bit wider. :good
but at the same time. hatton puts more pressure on. cotto was laying off and boxing in some rds. he paced himself and upped it down the stretch. paulie didn't really get worked over bad until those last 3 rds or so. :!: hatton will win more decisively than cotto did i think. :good
I think he WAS close to going. His legs were like jelly. I am Rickys biggest fan but I fear his lifestyle is catching up with him.
