MGM to host Mayweather-Hatton

FLOYD Mayweather will put his welterweight world title on the line against England's Ricky Hatton in a battle of unbeatens at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on December 8, promoters confirmed today.
Mayweather is 38-0 with 24 knockouts and the reigning World Boxing Council welterweight champion. Hatton, 43-0 with 31 knockouts, moves up to the 147-pound (66.7kg) division for only the second time in his career.
Oscar de la Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions announced today that tickets for the fight would go on sale on September 17.
"Even though this fight is months away, everyone is already talking about it and breaking it down, trying to figure out who has the edge,'' de la Hoya said.
"It's a great clash of styles between Mayweather and Hatton and I think that translates into a memorable fight that will go down in history as one of the great ones.''
Mayweather, who most recently defeated de la Hoya here, was delighted with the venue. "I love Vegas, I love the fans and I'm going to show Ricky Hatton that he can't come into my house and try to take what's mine.''
Contracts for the bout were signed earlier this month, with Hatton's father Ray saying the 28-year-old English fighter was set to receive the biggest purse of his career, $US16 million ($A20 million) dollars, for taking on the 30-year-old Mayweather, who shelved his retirement plans to make the superfight.
Even though this isn't Aussie boxing related but I'm going to keep this one here so you Aussie fans can discuss freely, but any more of that and I'll have to send it to the Boxing Forum or Lounge if necessary.
Have fun. :D

I think it will be the ugliest fight of the year with not many punches landing for either guy. The ref and his holding interpretation will play a crucial role in whether Hatton can win this fight.

Dont like either fighter but I truly think Hatton will take this fight by UD or Late TKO.
The style he has will really pisse floyd off bigtime and force him to open up and if he does open up that gives Hatton the chance to ko him. I truly dont see Hatton having that much of a hard night in defeating Floyd and i know people will think i am talking 5hit lol and maybe i am.
In the end though i truly think at this very moment he will have a easy nights work and will beat Floyd easily.

Hatton will give mayweather the toughest fight in his career leaving pbf bruised and battered.
Still mayweather will get a very controversial points victory,and the topic of this bout will continue to annoy me as it will never go away..
Also another prediction..
OZTRIKER will best his previous mark and take on 10dicks at once,hence living up to his title as the biggest poo pirate in esb history..
You want to start a poll oztriker???lol
You are the biggest nerd gay fag homo ever.
Easiest fight to pick. Mayweather by comfortable decision.
He will pick Hatton apart

I'm picking a Hatton win on points.
I think Hatton has the tenacity, fitness, strength and determination to do to PBF what Castillo and DLH tried to do but didn't succeed at.
Hatton is young and in his prime, and his pressure is fucking relentless.
He is happy to take some punches in order to get inside and do his business, and he has a good chin, so I can't see PBF making Hatton respect his power.
I think Hatton hurts PBF early in the fight - rds 3-4 - and PBF stays away from him for the rest of the fight. I think the judges will award the fight to Hatton for the early damage he does to PBF, and won't be fooled by PBF's usual potshot and run tactics to coast to a points win, and will instead reward Hatton for being the aggressor.
I just have a feeling about this fight, looking forward to it immensely.

If it's similar to how the Tszyu/Hatton fight was run than Hatton will have somewhat of a chance. But I'm still leading towards a Mayweather win. I hope I'm wrong though.

PBF UD 117-110
Hatton has got problems why because to win against PBF you need to be great at two things cutting off the Ring and you need to be able to jab.
Hatton cant do either well. and he isnt great at counter punching either.
Hatton is going to struggle big time. sorry to the Hatton fans but i wouldnt pick Hatton against someone with that sort of quickness and great defense.

The way I see it, Hatton uses his clinching to negate his opponent's power - but if he isn't concerned about his opponents power, he doesn't clinch as much - compare the Tszyu and Castillo fights.
I don't think he's going to be too concerned about PBF's power, in fact, I wonder if PBF might end up badly damaging his hands hitting Hatton, and not having any effect on him?
PBF is very elusive and an excellent counterpuncher, but if Hatton wades in, shrugs off his counters and gets him on the ropes like DLH and Castillo did, PBF might be tempted to slug it out to get Hatton off him.

Although his last few fights Hatton hasnt been cut up on the face he will be in this fight. Hatton probably has all the advantages except for the 2 critical ones SPEED and SKILL. PBF will win by cleaner precise punching

Agree with this to some extent, but I dont think it will be an easy fight. My belief is that this fight is about skills & silks vs the will to win. In my book the stronger will wins 60% of the time. Add to this Hatton's surging style, which is quite unique, and my belief that he does an effective job of cutting off & cornering opponents; then I think for Hatton the success rate is raised to 70% (being totally scientific here off course).
Hatton ate some big Costya bombs in the Tzyu fights, but just shrugged them off & landed heaps on the body. My money will be on Hatton to win by TKO in rnds 9 - 11 as I am convinced this fight is not going the distance.
The last interesting thing is that if you look at Ricky & forget about about his record, you would not give him a chance against most fighters, and yet he wins through every time. The interesting thing about Floyd, with all his skills is that a number of fighters have taken him the distance, and most of his wins are by UD or TKO. I just cannot see him taking Ricky by TKO other than having bad cut. That leaves him having to go 12 rounds with Ricky. If he makes it he will get the decision, but he will be calling for his mommy after the fight.

I can see the fight being really good. I mean they both have had a few nasty words to say to each other and that should turn into fireworks in the ring.
Hatton MD, too busy, he should throw more punches and get the dec IMO.

Sorry boys, but Mayweather wins this comfortably.
I reckon around about 117-111. Just too quick & too elusive for Hatton the hugger.
I am picking Floyd to take a UD. Floyd stuggles with effective pressure, but I don't think Hattons is that effective in a lot of ways. Hatton sets a frantic pace, but Floyd is very fit, and Hatton leaves himself too open when coming in. Mayweather is a great mover, and will not be there to smother for Hatton. I agree with Carltons post, in that the amount Hatton is allowed to hold will dictate the outcome of the fight to some degree. I am picking Mayweather by UD though.
To all the guys who think Hatton will win.... If Kostya (who is not a natural counter puncher, and like most euro fighters doesn't like getting backed up) could tag him coming in off the back foot, imagine what Mayweather will do, one of the fastest and best counter punchers in boxing. Mayweather had trouble against guys like Castillo because they maintain excellent defense whilst closing the distance, where as Hatton throws wildly and tries to use his physicality to break down his opponents. Mayweather is all wrong for Hatton IMO.

Why SD as opposed to UD? Are you prediciting the judging to be corrupt or poor?

i meant to say MD - i think it will be alot like the first Castillo fight; very close but Hatton comes out on top by landing the higher volume of power punching.

Hatton and Castillo are very different fighters and use very different forms of pressure. Castillo is very measured in his attack, and comes in defensively very sound. Thats what troubled Floyd the first time. He needs to have opportunites to counter, and Castillo wasn't providing him with that. Hatton will in contrast provide and abundance of opportunities. Hattons tenacity will in this fight play into Mayweathers hands, as he won't fight smart, and will look to just storm in behind his punches, which against the best in the business won't be good enough.

II think Hatton will give Mayweather all he can handle. He'll make Floyd fight for the entire 3 mins of every round. It'll be a great fight. Still lean to Floyd, but it'll be a lot closer than the DLH fight.

I disagree. I thought the Oscar fight was close due to Oscars effective pressure and combination punching. I don't rate Hatton as that good a combination puncher. Floyd is to smart to try to trade in close with him like KT did. He is one of the best movers in boxing. I am expecting it to go down like the Baldomir fight, but obviously a bit closer. Hatton doesn't posses the handspeed of Oscar either, which the other main factor in Oscar getting to floyd in the early rounds.

The difference is that Oscar faded at the end of the fight, like he always does. Hatton will still be right in front of Floyd at the end of the fight.
One thing I also like is Hatton's body work. Floyd is fucking hard to nail to the head, but Ricky loves to dig to the body, ask Castillo and his 3 broken ribs.
Fuck I hope he wins, just to shut Floyd's mouth. Hatton is the consumate professional. I expect him to fight like a man possessed come Dec 8th.

Fair enough. Will be a great fight either way, although I don't think it will be one for the casual fan. t will be pretty scrappy most probably. If Hatton can get inside and stay inside he can definitely win. Agree with your point that floyd is most hittable to the body, as his head and upper body movement is very quick.

PBF is going to wipe the floor with Ricky. look i hate PBF mouth and secretly want hatton to win but my boxing brain knows better.
Ricky isnt good in these areas.
Ricky cant jab
Ricky isnt a good Counter Puncher
Ricky cant cut the ring off very well so he will get worn out chasing PBF
Ricky at 147 loses all that power he has at 140
Yes Ricky has got th pressure thing going for him but you really think PBF is dumb enough to stand and trade with Hatton.
PBF will fight the same fight he did against Oscar but he will win easier against Hatton cause Ricky cant Jab like ODH can or cut of the ring.
PBF 117-110 easy fight to pick this one.

Hey I know where you're coming from with the power thing. But the thing is that Hatton isn't so much of a one shot KO artist anyway, appart from bodyshots. His strength is his incredible workrate combined with very decent power.
Don't underestimate him at 147 lbs. Collazo is tough and Ricky doesn't seem to cope as well with southpaws. Eamonn Collins was proof of that. Food for thought anyway, what a top year for boxing...

Hatton's training for this fight as if it was at 140 anyway, so he won't have to worry about whether or not he can carry his power up to 147.
We'll see Hatton in tiptop shape for this fight, he won't be cutting any corners in his preparation for this match.
Floyds got to be favorite, but youd be stupid to completely write off Hatton. He definitely has the potential to make it a hard and painful night for PBF.

I definitely think he doesn't cope well with southpaws, and I also noticed it before the Collazo fight against the average Magee, which was one of his worst fights up to that point in his career.

So far he's beaten them all though. Just doesn't look as impressive in doing so.
Yeah thats true. Magee did put him down though, and Collazo arguably beat him. If I was managing Hatton Id definitely keep him away from Southpaws. Going up to 147 to fight one was some terrible management, especially as he put the weight on all wrong for it and gassed. I think though he will learn from the experience and come in in top shape against PBF and be ready to give him hell. Should be good to watch.
So far he's beaten them all though. Just doesn't look as impressive in doing so.
True but Hatton is an elite fighter, and I wouldn't consider any of the guys he has beaten elite. Collazo was very good (unproven though), and Urango and Magee certainly not. Would love to see Hatton vs Judah or even better Hatton vs Williams. Hatton vs Williams is a very tough fight to call IMO. Williams struggles on the inside, but hatton struggles on the outside especially against southpaw opponents as he can't close the distance as effectively. Would be a very good fight.
Williams would beat him pretty easily tbh. The physical advantages he has are just too much for Hatton who in essence relies on physical attributes to win.

I wouldn't go that far. Williams stuggles on the inside, and Hatton is a shorter fighter, and is IMO is much more aggressive at getting inside then Margarito. The fact that he is shorter will make it easier then it was for Marg to try to slip and duck the punches of Williams. On the inside Hatton would absolutely tear the lanky Williams apart. From the outside Hatton will get belted. I think it would actually be a pick em fight, with the winner being the fighter who can stick to the gameplan the most. Williams isn't a natural counter puncher, and prefers to fight off the front foot. When Marg backed him up in the latter rounds he wasn't nearly as effective. Ricky Hatton certainly wouldn't stay at range like Marg did for the first half of the fight. He will be doing everything in his power to get inside and go to work.
Ok Cunts, especially those Qld cunts in here.
My birthday is 29th Sept and Im organising a piss up day like all my mates do when it's theirs. This year mine will be a Mixed touch footy 7's comp played a few hundred metres from my place Carrara. Anyone who wants to come along then come cause it's always great fun. Registration for the Comp is a carton of beer from each team that will be drunk at my place afterwards or during (whichever tickles your fancy) and then heading out into surfers later that night.
Anyone interested just pm. Would be good to meet up with a few of the hugger/haters :yep and there will be plenty of chicks :yep
Barge can I put you down as a definite? :good

Hatton is going to get stopped by PBF on December the 8th. Dislike PBF if you like that is your prerogative but he will defeat Hatton impressively inside 6-10 rounds at most. Skills win fights and style wise Hatton is ready made to order for PBF. From the available evidence of what we have seen to date from both PBF wins handily and decisively.

To say '6-10 rounds' at most isn't really sticking your neck out Olu....it covers a very large portion of the fight.
Come on, give us a more 'concrete' prediction...;O) Say, down to 3 rounds...

Okay since you have asked me to narrow it down I would say inside Rounds 8 or 9 though I would not be surprised if it ended earlier.

I take it she is not a boxing fan, or at least not one to the extent of being a contributor to this forum such that she might read you message
Mayweather to destroy that fool Hatton :good and next up Cotto/Mosley. Preferably Cotto.
fuckin sweet, I knew you were a nice bloke
hahaha. Count me in. The more the merrier. Pig on a spit with one sub coming in at half time.
Good plan.

Is she asian by any chance? I need to tee something like that up. Problem is I get sick of having sex with the same girl and try to tee up someone else. By the time I realise that its all gone to shit its usually 4 in the morning and too late for a booty call.

gotta love the booty call
and the suggestive text messages every man sends after 10 beers; they seem subtle at the time but when you read them in the morning after no reply you realise you were just straight out asking for a root :lol:

I'm thinking a lot will depend on how the ref decides to police the fight. If it's similar to how the Tszyu/Hatton fight was run than Hatton will have somewhat of a chance. But I'm still leading towards a Mayweather win. I hope I'm wrong though.
Yeah but Mayweather would have to be an idiot to to fight the way tszyue did in that fight...face it hell just pick him apart. I really cant see any possibility that Hatton can take this one. Hattons only advantage over PBF is is 'pressure'..but what can he do that DLH cant.
PBF is simple a much, much superior boxer. if Hatton manages to take this it will shatter my conception of what boxing is.
mayweather is to slick for him a boring fight but a ud decison for mayweather... hattons only chance is if he somehow lands a bomb
