      Well despite the fact I had no audio or visuals the 1st thing I did get was Ricky on his back... Game over.

      A valiant effort, obviously outclassed but no shame because he was beaten by the best boxer around.

      Fair play Ricky you did your best and gave your all. Respect.

      What a rip off!!!!!!!!! I want my money back!....

      Nah, seriously. Mayweather was too good in the end. The only one to come out of that fight with no respect is the ref. He had it in for Ricky from the first bell.
      You only become a better winner by being gracious in defeat. Ricky should be proud of himself tonight.

      I'm going to stay up now. No point going to bed...  :f_tongueincheek:

      Thought you had gone to bed Mr!

       I agree with all that, the ref was way off the line, taking that point made Ricky have to try and fight not his norma fight!
      He done us proud thats for sure, im just really gutted for him, coz he wanted that more than anything! bless him

      Yeah im staying up now too! be light soon and i can never get to sleep when i can hear the birds singing! bloody birds

      No I was wide awake, spilling Stella! Nevermind eh.

      I'm off to see a friend who has also been watching the fight with a gathering of people. Reckon I might be able to get some sleep there rather than my own bed....? Doubt it.
      Those pesky birds!  :D Nighty night!

      All credit to Mayweather.  He was F***ing awesome.

      In the first 3 Rounds I thought Ricky could do it, especially knocking him off balance in the first round.  But as you say Lester he was too gun ho.  He hardly protected himself and he was literally walking into Mayweathers jabs.

      But how clever is Floyd Mayweather?  Absolutely fantastic athlete.

      Ricky lasted 10 rounds then he was knocked down twice, one after the other.  I'd like to give Ricky a round of applause for his effort in the fight though.  He did give it his all, but just didn't stick to the game plan.

      Maybe next time Ricky.  You've done your Nation proud.

      Really dissappointed for Ricky but  Mayweather was just too good in the end. I thought after the first couple of rounds that Ricky had the measure of him but as the fight went on it was clear that he needed a knock out to win and he just couldn't get any clean punches through. Mayweather was really good on the inside which surprised me a little as I thought this is where Hatton would get any advantage in the fight.

      I was impressed with Floyd Mayweather as after all the hype and boasting he really showed that he is the best pound for pound boxer in the world at the minute. True class.

      The one bad point about the night was the ref, and it is interesting that Billy Graham pointed out to him before the fight that Ricky's style was based on the inside and how Mayweather camp had been complaining about it, then when the fight starts he is stepping in far too quickly to break them up. I think the stature of Floyd and hometown advantage may have played on the ref's mind during the fight and he didn't want to be showing any favouratism to Hatton but by doing this went too far the other way.

      All in all an excellent night and Ricky done himself and his fans proud and will be back to challenge for a world title again soon.

      So you stayed up then mate?

      Good review of the fight and I totally agree about the ref. I'd like to say maybe there might of been a tiny chance of a different result if the ref hadn't got involved the way he did in the first couple of rounds. But the quality of Mayweather really did shine through as the fight progressed.
      Although Hatton will be hurting inside, he's got nothing to be ashamed of. Hope he comes back an even better fighter for it.

      No problems in the end RK!

      We were screaming about the ref from the first couple of rounds, as was Jim Watt on the commentary. He was going mad! Agree that if the ref wasn't so quick to step in early on then Ricky may have been able to impose himself more on the fight. But I do think that Mayweather was too good in the end and it kills me to say that as I was desperate for Hatton to win.

      I love Ricky Hatton and have followed his career from the start but I think this one is a bridge too far and Maywether will win. I would love to be wrong but I dont see it :(

      Do I get any points in the prediction league for this one?!

      I hope Ricky has a few more big fights in him, I don't want to see the Lad get hurt but he's pure entertainment and the best fighter to come from these shores for a decade!

      I reckon he's got a few more big fights ahead of him Crazy Horse. I think he knows he got a little carried away at the weekend and let his heart rule his head. Surely he'll want to put that right. You're spot on about him being the best from these shores for a while. Well done for not getting carried away by the hype and predicting right.  ;)

      Oh and my apologies Miss Stella.  ;D And no, I was a good lad.  :D

      I've only just regained the ability to walk! :laugh:

      The two parties went great and I got more pissed than I expected! :-\ But I got home about 2am, cracked open a few cans with me mates and me uncle and lasted until after the fight!

      Got to tip your hat to Mayweather. He played Hatton at his own game and proved he is the best in the world. Such a shame Hatton couldn't do it, but I felt the ref didn't help proceedings. Cortez is a good ref and he never usually splits fighters up as much as he did in the Hatton - Mayweather fight. :( And the point deduction was unnecessary but it didn't really matter in the end! :-\

      Mayweather was brilliant after the fight. My image of him has changed so much! Some of Mayweathers fans booed Hatton during the post fight interview and Mayweather stopped them, saying Hatton is a brilliant champion and he deserves their respect. I like that, and proves that he is a decent man after all!

      Hope to see Hatton in the De La Hoya fight at Wembley, if they decide to set it up! I think two more fights and he can hang his gloves up! What a legend he is! ;D

      Mayweather was tooo good on the night it was a case of bruno against tyson at the end.  I always thought thatif Hatton was  going to do it he had to damage Mayweather early as after the 7 rounds it would be Mayweathers time.   Hatton tried his best and did us proud but mayweather to stylish for him at the end.
