predictions and thoughts? Keep everything in here please...

Fight starts at 4.00am English time. This fight is being built up as the fight of the decade so let's hope it lives up to it.

Do you think pubs will show the fight in London (west)? I ain't got sky and don't want to watch it on internet, will they stay open for the fight?

I'm sure the Pubs in Manchester will stay open.

Anyway i'm going for Mayweather, sure the guy is a twat, but he's a bloody good boxer.

I'm not driving 3 hours to Manchester at 4am.

Why not stay the night over there?

Can't be arsed.

So you think the likelyhood of pubs in London staying open are slim?

I wouldn't have any idea mate. What about checking out some Boxing academies or centres in London? I'm sure they'll be open.

Hatton will get smashed to bits.

Why do you say that then GP?

I don't know much about boxing. All I know is, never bet on the white guy.

:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

Hatton will be stopped through Cuts. He has a tendency to mark up and this Mayweather guy is so quick.
However it does have a lot similarities to the Don Curry v Lloyd Honeyghan fight in the eighties, the raggamuffin man upset all the odds that night, perhaps, just perhaps....

£15 on Box office?

I an not paying that to watch a fight that wont last the distance.

Dont care who wins. Unless its Tyson, boxing is dull

In the 80´s and early 90´s I used to love Boxing. Watching the Eubanks, Watson´s, Benns from our shores and the Sugar Ray Leonards, Hagglers, Hearns from across the pond.

Then they diluted it and destroyed it with all the different belts. Every now and again a Lennox fight would get my interest but that was about it.

This fight is return to the glory days of the great fighters being allowed to go toe to toe.

Mayweather is an all time great but arrogent and crass...perfect for Boxing.

Hatton is an animal from the streets of Manchester. His life is boxing.

I can´t wait. Its a show , a spectacle and I´ll be watching. Boxing isn´t made like this these days. So it´s great to see a match like this.


Mayweath should win and well....but you never know...you just never know.

So I´ll go for a dramatic Hatton stoppage in 8 rounds. But he´ll be cut and hurt!!!

Is it on tv in Spain?

My brothers thinking of ordering it.

£15 it costs. Not really a fan of boxing and as its on at 4am, thats another downside to it but it is the fight of the year and has to be watched

I hate boxing, i mean really hate it, i hate the thought of anyone getting hurt and cringe if someone is watching it in my presence.

But......i hope Hatton gices him a bloody good hiding

Apparently Mayweathers hands are giving him trouble, not entirely sure what that means but he won't be able to do much if every time he hits Hatton he yelps in pain, a little undermining.

I don't know much about boxing but I reckon Hatton could give him a run for his money, Mayweather may be quicker but Hatton hits like a frelling train, it could be interesting.

As a side note, if Hatton met him outside the ring it wouldn't even take a minute, everything I have heard and seen of Hatton makes me think he is scarily hard but in the ring that don't matter so much I guess.

Just hit Mayweather with a chair. <_<

By the time Hatton has finished with him, he won`t be so pretty then will he! lol

Did anyone see Hatton call Mayweather a "f***in clown" (though not to his face) on the last edition of 24/7 (Sky Sports' over-elaborate build-up to the fight).......?

Mayweather thinks all the fans from Manchester have come over to see him!

:haha:

Should be a Hatton win methinks. He'll spoil Mayweather's technique by keeping in close, thereby not allowing Prettyboy the full extent of his reach.

Heres the weigh in.

Hatton has got LOADS of support there!

Fight starts soon :D

10 hours is soon?

I want Mayweather to win because he is such a modest, down-to-earth, non-materialistic kinda guy.

Hattons gunna win.

:haha:

Yeah Mayweather acts like a Cnut but thats all part of the hysteria to generate such massive media attention otherwise this match wouldn't be labelled one of the most exciting boxing events in history

I'd like Hatton to win but,

My head says that Mayweather will win

Just heard a great quote on SSN. "Mayweather's a boxer, Hatton's a fighter. And boxers beat fighters".......I'm afraid that could be right.

Loved it when Mayweather came in

"Who are ya"
"Who are ya"

Brilliant!
the bits jumping! Are them Bolton fans in with the drums! Haha!

It was a genuine question.

They truly had no idea who Mayweather was

Amir Kahn wins in the first round

What a farce

"Who the f****** hell are you!"
Haha!

:haha:

That was brilliant at the end by Hatton!

Its like a fight club!

Anyone else really tired witing for it to start!

My parents said i couldn't watch it so when they went to bed i stuck back down!

Come on Ricky!

Knocked out outclassed, Mayweather was superior in every way.

Hatton is a gusty fighter but he came up against one of the best tonight.

apparently there is talk of mayweather going into promoting now and hatton staying around

maybe he'll go up against delahoya?

Hatton was always going to be struggling at this weight, he just ain't powerful enough against the bigger guys. Best thing he can do is go back to light Welter and clean up where he's suited too. He was fortunate tonight, Mayweather for all his undoubted ability is not a big puncher, if hatton hangs around at this weight then he could get seriously hurt. Someone mentioned De lahoya, if he connected with Hatton he'd take his head off.

See?

More glorious failure eh? :whistle:

I'd like to see Ricky Hatton to take on Junior Witter now, that would be a good figth and shut Witter up.

It'd be good to see Mayweather taking on de la Hoya in a rematch or fight Miguel Cotto.

There is talk of Amir Khan becoming a great fighter, but hes gonna have a tough time at his weight if he ever has to come against the awesome Juan Diaz.
