Gemmill 44881 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I used to follow boxing quite closely, but it's such a shambles these days, I've really lost interest. Which means that I've got no idea whether this fight tonight is likely to be any good - is Hatton just gonna batter this bloke or is there a chance of it being a decent fight? Trying to decide whether it's worth poncing £15 on. Anyone know what they're talking about and would like to enlighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 It's supposed to be a tough fight apparently. I was reading earlier that Maussa's a hard-hitter and a bit of an untidy fighter. Coupled with the pressure for Hatton to defend his title it might make it an interesting one. It's in Sheffield too instead of the MEN arena so it'll be slightly different turf for Hatton too.

Matty 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 He is 1/15 to win. So I can't see it being really close tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be getting tight like cos in the past I would have just paid the £15 and taken my chances. I'm really agonising over this one though. Matty, it does look like he's gonna walk it from those odds, but the bookies know that people are gonna pile on Hatton so the odds are gonna be a bit distorted, although I'm sure he probably is a decent favourite.

Shearergol 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hatton is far too prone to cutting to say that this fight only has one outcome. Can't see him losing anyway other than this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 To be honest, Hatton never really looks like he's having too mcuh bother with most of his opponents. The fight against Tszyu was his toughest test and it was a cracking fight in the end. There's all this carry-on with him splitting from Frank Warren at the moment aswell, so probably more about external factors and how he handles the pressure more than anything - something he's never had a problem with before. Just get the fight man. And make sure I get a running commentary Hattons the only boxer I'd actually sit down and watch at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The programme starts at 9, so if they string it out til 4 I would be mightily pissed off - I'll be staying up past my bedtime as is. Cath, I might get it. Although I'm still not sure.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I rang telwest to cancel me phone and they had a recorded message apologising that no-one in the north west could order pay per view events. Quite an inopportune time to knack like. Made me chuckle thinking of all those mancs who won't be to watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
