Floyd Mayweather Jr. outfought Ricky Hatton in their heavily hyped bout Saturday night for the WBC welterweight title, stopping him at 1:35 of the 10th round via TKO.Mayweather knocked Hatton down twice in the 10th. He landed a left hook in the corner that landed on the jaw. Hatton went head first into the corner pad and then was down. He was in serious jeopardy of not making it up. Mayweather attacked as soon as Hatton got back to his feet, and landed two lefts and a right and Hatton was down again. His corner threw in the towel and referee Joe Cortez waved it off.
Where the hell was this Mayweather when he fought De La Hoya? He remembered to hit Hatton, as unfortunate as that may be for Ricky. While this fight may have been more action packed and entertaining than the Mayweather/De La Hoya bought, the 24-7 eps on HBO were nowhere near as entertaining without Floyd Sr. and not enough Roger Mayweather. I just can't get over the broken English and punch drunk view of the world. Pure entertainment.
