Does cuts have an "n" in it?

Hatton with a body punch - Mayweather stays on his stool.

Your putting your mortgage on that!?

All change again..

Hatton pts..

Mayweather TKO 10 based on cuts and swelling

Hatton by SD

I was going for Hatton by SD a while back, but now feel Floyd will retire on his stool at the end of the 10th claiming a hand or shoulder injury, the real reason being very bruised ribs and an extremely bruised ego.

If it was for the mortgage then Mayweather 115-113.

If it was for a night on the lash then I see Mayweather hurting his right hand after 5. Unable to keep Ricky away he dances like a poof and Hatton catches up with him in the late rounds to score enough to win a SD.

hatton to expose the myth that mayweather is a great.stoppage round6

very surprised that many people are going for ricky via body punch stoppage as the only fight that he has won at world class with a body shot was his last, and although it was an excellent body shot, castillo didn't exactly look fired up (or maybe it's is just me). when i say world class im talking: tszyu, collazzo, phillips, tackie, maussa and urango. if anything hatton is the one that has looked susceptible to body shots of late. i would be very interested to see if it is not floyd that gets to ricky with those straight jabs and right hands to the body.

Just a thought.

He hit Phillips, Tackie, Collazo and Urango with plenty of body shots and I'm sure they had effect in slowing them down. But he doesn't knock anyone down with a bodyshot unless his feet are placed perfectly.

There great odds for what could be a close fight. Definitely worth a few bob.

Still say Mayweather - on points. Called it weeks ago and despite being temped to go for Ricky I am standing by my original prediction.

Hatton UD

Mayweather, KO, somewhere in the middle rounds!

Hatton late ko

Hatton TKO11 or 12, body accumulation...

for me this fight has DRAW written all over it.

My mortgage???!!! Groan, that sharpens the mind.

I've thought Hatton from the outset, always maintained it was 50-50 and the whispers further support that.

But I have an image of a forlorn Hatton with cuts and a closed eye, on his hands and knees on the front of the Boxing News next week.

However. It's not really my mortgage so....

HATTON 9th-10th or Points.

Setting up Hatton v DLH...

Floyd KO 4, without too much bother sadly

I had £30 on Hatton to win by KO (4/1) and £30 on Mayweather to win on points (11/ 8).

If Hatton wins on points I won't know whether to laugh or cry!

My reasoning on the above:

- There is more chance of Jessica Alba phoning me up for sex than Hatton getting a decision against PBF in the US (regardless of what "happens" in the fight)

- Hatton has the potential to stop PBF with just one good shot to the liver

- PBF is "unlikely" to be able to stop Hatton inside the distance. Hatton will be in the f**king zone like he was against Kostya, and won't buckle.

- If PBF wins, it's on points

So my main bet is Hatton to stop him, with a PBF decision as cover.

In fairness the promoter of the fight ODLH wants Hatton to win so the point argment don't realy stand.

That's bull. There's no reason why the judges would want to give Mayweather a gift. Usually (but not always) when a fighter is given a gift it's because a) it's what the promoters would want/pay them to do or b) there's a partisan crowd cheering everytime their fighter throws a punch, whether it lands or not, and it can warp the mind of the judge.

In this case none of those things would be likely to happen. In fact, if either of them occured, it would happen in Hattons favour. Golden Boy would prefer a Hatton win (as it lines up a winnable fight for DLH) and Hattons crowd are likely to be more in abundance and louder than Mayweathers.

Hatton UD

I believe Mayweather will school the hitman over 12.
