Like I've said the only scenario I don't see is an actual KO by PBF. I'm excited I think it will be a good fight and a good card overall.

I also don't think Floyd runs at all. Any time he uses ring movement people accuse him of running (not you Meade because I know you like him). It's a MMA fan base out there that doesn't understand the rules of boxing. It's not to stand toe to toe and slug it out until one guy falls.

True - PBF hasn't even been in that many fights where an opponent has even landed enough (comparative wise) to make a fight all that close. Other than Castillo and ODLH.

I also agree regarding PBF moving up having effected his power.....But to me it is not just that.....I don't see PBF sitting down on his punches as much anymore. He does tend to throw much more pitty-pat (point) punches than he did back at JLW and LW. Vs Castillo he sat down on his punches.....more often.

As for MMA fans.....(by and large) they don't even understand RG or Cage Generalship in their own damn sport (of MMA). They constantly boo guys who are using proper strategy within MMA.

So, agreed....They don't get boxing at all. And even Dana White has acted like a fool regarding the sport of boxing. Unfortunately so.

I'm going with Hatton. I've had some pretty good calls with guys getting their first KTFO (Erik Morales, Jermain Taylor) -- ya, that's kind of a boast, but I don't mean it to be -- but I'll go UD12.

mh2365 · 12-08-2007, 11:01 PM

Too bad Merchant is doing this fight instead of Kellerman. Merchant hates PBF ... so those listening to the commentary will think Hatton is dominating the fight. Whether he is or not will be left to the viewer.

mh2365 · 12-08-2007, 11:26 PM

Wow Merchant has it right though Bayless should warn this guy ... all he does is eat a punch or two then bend at the waist. Boring fight.

a87star · 12-08-2007, 11:33 PM

The Hatton fans have already started the chanting and singing. Imagine what it will be like when the fight starts? I can't see PBF getting a clean victory at all. Then we will get the pleasure of seeing Floyd and Larry argue with each other again.

I don't want to see Escobedo fight ever again. He definitely doesn't like to be hit. Ponce De Leon is usually in exciting fights but this was the wrong opponent for him.

Undercard was pretty weak . . I was ready to start dosing off in the Lacy-Manfredo fight

He didn't do that poorly, I think it was 5-5, 6-4, 7-3 with an extra point from each judge for the one knockdown. I agreed with the one-point card for Lacy

a87star · 12-09-2007, 12:35 AM

I thought Lacy barely won. He looked very rusty and he could have picked a better opponent for his first fight back. Manfredo's speed really befuddled Lacy but the KD made the difference.

Thunder · 12-09-2007, 01:06 AM

small cut over hatton's eye . . .pretty close through 4, Hatton really pressuring PBF

meade95 · 12-09-2007, 01:11 AM

Close fight after 5...... I have 2-2-1

meade95 · 12-09-2007, 01:15 AM

Cortez sucks!

You do not take a point right there.....In that manner.

PBF has been elbowing, hitting on the break....rabbit punching......So much for all the BS "fix in for Hatton" here....

That was a complete BS!

Thunder · 12-09-2007, 01:22 AM

Big 8th for PBF, stunned Hatton . .if he's up one point, and he may be, it's the BS penalty point

meade95 · 12-09-2007, 01:24 AM

Agree - Cleary big round for PBF in the 8th -

I have it 4-3-1 (PBF).....Plus we have the BS Cortez point taken away to deal with.....What an F'ing fool in this type of fight...to interject himself to that degree...

meade95 · 12-09-2007, 01:26 AM

5-3-1 (PBF).

Hatton has to dig deep and turn it around in the 10th here.....This next round is the fight...

a87star · 12-09-2007, 01:31 AM

What an ending. Outstanding left hook by Mayweather to finish off Hatton. I had it 5-3-1 for Mayweather going into the tenth.

meade95 · 12-09-2007, 01:32 AM

Give it to PBF.....He scored the TKO...... Props to him........(but then again, Hatton has never looked that good at 147 anyway......He's a champ at 140 moving up in weight.....But still....good performance by PBF)...

Ha. Just screwing with you........Very solid win by PBF....
