Round 7
A lot of rough, tough inside stuff, as the two work in close. Mayweather's tight defense is negating some of Hatton's swarming offense. As soon as there is a gap between them, Mayweather lands some sharp punches and a good sequence of rights and lefts puntuates the round and wins it for Floyd.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: 10-9, Mayweather
Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Hatton
Round 8
Mayweather digging right hands to the body in close. Then a good right and a straight right that buckles Ricky's knees. Still Ricky keeps on coming. Right hand from Hatton. Again, Floyd jabs to the body. Lefts and rights from Floyd and Ricky is badly hurt. Floyd unloads in the corner, but back comes Haton, although Floyd blocks his punches.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: 10-9, Mayweather
Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Mayweather
Round 9
Hatton lands a good left out of a clinch that catches Floyd's attention. Mayweather circling away and popping Ricky with a couole of sharp jabs. Hatton continues to swarm Mayweather, but most of the effective punches are Floyd's. Another pair of jabs snaps back Hatton's head. Another short hook from Mayweather. Left-right to the chin, and then another right from Mayweather. Floyd apears to be in a groove and Hatton is not able to disrupt it at all right now.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: 10-9, Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather has just knocked out Ricky Hatton in the 10th round.
they fixed it, they actually had the opposite at first
Someday white guys will figure out that...speed actually does matter in boxing, as much if not moreseo than punching power, and it's a of a lot easier to get stronger than it is to get faster, so you'd best learn to like working on that speed, a whole lot.....
However until that day comes....
I told you guys Mayweather only fights guys he knows he can beat. Let's see him call out Williams,Cotto,Margarito, or Clottey it's not gonna happen.
Mayweather is the best, but he did dodge margarito.
margarito is the !
And I told you guys Hatton would get his ass kicked...I never saw Hatton fight in my life but I listened to a few interviews and it was pretty obvious he thought he was just going to be a tank and beat Mayweather...He respected Mayweather less than Mayweather respected him...regardless of Mayweather's heel act.
Mayweather is 10 times faster, plus he's bigger, and he has power when he wants too...the fact that he wins without using his power(because he's got bad hands) should scare the out of anyone that fights him.
Mayweather fought him becuase he got sick of everyone saying he couldn't knock anyone out...so he took on a guy that was undefeated, a great puncher, with a cast iron jaw and knocked his ass the out. Nice way to go out Floyd...for now. His legacy is complete.
Dude has won les at 5 different weight classes by the way...it's assinine to say he ducks fighters.
The difference in that fight was the reach advantage... its not white guys not knowing that speed isnt as important... its the 7 inch reach advantage. Thats why black guys dominate boxing... this is gonna come accross as racist, but its fact.. african americans on average have longer arms... and a 7 inch reach advantage in a boxing match is ridiculous... especially when the opponents are about the same height.
How can u compete on even terms when someone has that sort of advantage... congrats to Flloyd... Ricky just isnt a super welterweight...
I dont think the fight lived up to the hype... i think the point deduction hurt Ricky... he was forced to come forward more and attack at the expense of his defense and he got caught with a great shot... they threw the same punch... Flloyd has longer arms and Hatton got the impact first.
Floyd should have been penalised a point for all the forearms to Ricky's forehead... its the elbow that opened the cut in the second round.
Either way... Floyd was the better fighter ... im disappointed a little... i like Ricky
I'm glad Floyd won...and he was the one I wanted to win.
Especially after I read some Brits booed the National Anthem...
Why are you a Floyd fan? Just curious.. I guess he is American at the end of the day.
Yeh there was booing during the National Anthem.
There's only one Ricky Hatton!
walking along, singing a song
walking in a Hatton wonderland
First off, a certain one or two of you were saying that Hatton had little respect for Mayweather, what a load of .;'[]$%^.!
Hatton totally had respect, he is a very noble and honorable fighter with a sense of humor and a big heart.
Yes Mayweather knocked Hatton on his ass, but he had to work very hard to do so.
As for speed, Hatton looked just as fast as Mayweather and constantly pushed Floyd into the ropes or corner. Mayweather though had a longer reach.
Mayweather was a complete tool during all the hype to this fight, no respect was really shown, however maybe that was just for the hype itself.
I indeed respect Mayweather's abilities and the fact that he is the best pound-for-pund but Hatton is no joke.
Mayweather showed great respect after the fight and I do like him for doing that. A great champion, but Hatton will keep on fighting as he always does.
End of the day, Hatton was outclassed, but it took much effort, both fighters deserve a pint from the fans!
"watch out, Amir Khan's about"
The ing referee in this fight should be banned from boxing. The piece of didn't allow Hatton to fight the only way he could to win the match. Hatton wanted to do all his damage on the inside and that fat, bald, , kept jumping in the moment they got tangled rather then ever letting them punch out of it. It was to the point where I was watching the ref more then I was watching the fighters. After about six rounds of this, it was obvious to Hatton, and everyone watching that he wasn't going to be allowed to go inside and that's when he started getting his ass kicked.
I think I'm done with boxing after that debacle.
Not suprising, but I would like to see him fight Cotto. I think he'd win the fight, but it would be interesting. Congrats Floyd, you magnificent yet y bas .
Every boxing fan wants to see him in one last fight against Cotto. Win that and retire in peace. It's just one more fight and he's coming off a very impressive victory.
Yeah... I think that I am just going to stop making predictions all together now thank you...
