Mayweather v Hatton
My original thoughts (written earlier this week) were as follows:
I think Pretty Boy is the better boxer on his day but he has underestimated Hatton while Ricky has really worked hard for this. I think Ricky can win, BUT he's going to have to do it inside the distance, as if this goes to the scorecards I can only see one result and that's not the one any of us wants, but it goes with the territory. You fight in their back yard you have to accept the judges' verdict.I still stand by the Hatton knock out thoughts, but more and more I've got a feeling for him outright too, especially taking on the thoughts of a few good brains... if Hatton is the clear winner he'll get the decision this time "some fights are just too big to cheat on" (cheers to BettingZone's Mike Holden for some words of sense)...
Another minus for Hatton is Cortez has been confirmed as the ref and he won't take any shit from Hatton, he'll break up anything that gets too close up, which again is not a good thing.
I see this going two ways, I don't think PBF will knock Hatton out, Hatton may knock PBF out but if it goes to the judges PBF wins...
4pts Hatton to beat Mayweather @ 2.8
3pts Hatton to win by KO/TKO/DQ @ 4.9
Come on the Hitman...
In other fights Amir Khan takes on Graham Earl. Earl is a handy fighter and by far the best Khan has ever faced. He has beaten some top class fighters and only lost twice to even better fighters. He will come at Khan tonight and Amir may struggle, he's been put down before against a lesser fighter than Earl and a few people may be surprised tonight.
1.5pts Earl to win by KO/TKO/DQ @ 7.6 - Lost 1.5pts
Update: Well, Khan in 72 seconds proved me wrong there... possibly more to come before Hatton
Update: Hatton's odds have drifted to 3.2, I've gone in again with another 2.5pts, also covered the draw with 0.5pts @ 22
Current Position: Hatton +11.63pts / Draw 3.81pts / Mayweather -7pts
Update: Layed Lacy @ 1.1 v Manfredo to lose 0.5pts
Total: -12pts
December so far: -13.8pts
