Good to see Tackie seemingly got through unscathed, imagine Tackie losing that fight! Old Frank would have to go trawling the world for someone else. I still think we will be seeing Omar Weiss at some point in the near future.

Keep your eye on the prices being offered on the exchanges for Hatton vs Tackie.

Hatton is heavily odds on (which I don't see personally) and "if you're a gambling man" I suspect there will be a good price about Tackie to win this one on http://www.betfair.com

i might have a double bet on tackie/pinto.

I agree with the above 2 posts. betting on tackie is certainly not a bad idea imo

Yeah Tackie is still a very dangerous fighter. All this talk about him being "past his best" is misleading - he would've likely been outpointed by Mitchell and Tszyu at anytime in his career, so it'd be foolish to think it's a sign he's slipping.
Might be the hardest puncher Hatton has faced, though Phillips can certainly hit...
