Oh yeah, I watched it and I loved Fatton. He drinks beer at a pub with his pals during his down time. Who does not like that? However, GO USA

Did you watch 24/7? If you watch that show, no way can you root against Hatton. I don't care what your nationality is.

I know Floyd is cocky but how can any american want the Brit to win? I am a liberal commie and I never want a foreign boxer to beat an American.
Especially with the fan behavior of the Brit fans.

Oh, Floyd JR is trying to be Apollo Creed with the USA song. Roger said in one of the shows that Apollo would have beat Rocky in real life and that Hatton was a Rocky type.

If this goes the distance, it's Mayweather. Hatton will need to score a knockout to win.

This is going to be an interesting fight (hopefully). Mayweather is Mayweather, but beating that version of De La Hoya isn't much. When DLHoya pushed the matter and threw combos, he did well, he just couldn't sustain it. Also, DLHoya looked like an old zombie out there. He has a case of Holyfielditis, where he can't pull the trigger any longer. Kept working to get in close to Mayweather, then just standing there.
Hatton fights as hard as he can for all three minutes for all 12 rounds. I don't know if Mayweather has been in that kind of fight. It's going to be a brawl.
Mayweather is going to be teeing off, for sure, as a nonstop attack is going to give him ample opportunity to counterpunch.
But MW won't get time to sit back and appraise the situation, like he usually does. He's really going to be pushed to fight his hardest.
Hatton is a quick little bugger, and he's going to be getting inside all night. He'll likely start off leading with jabs, getting in, hammering the body and doubling hooks to the head. After 4-5 rounds, he'll drop the jabs, but regardless of anyone's conditioning, there's a point in the fight when both fighters settle in and the bout takes on its own rhythm. And the rhythm is going to be full-on throw-down.
This should be the fight that defines both of these fighters. Any thoughts?
