Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Ricky Hatton Pt.3

[@douglastowns8406]

I've watched this fight a hundred times and it's the first time I've noticed the dirty fighting Hatton is doing ....elbowing and head butting..

[@svp2010]

British fans are one of the best fans out there and i'm an American. They bring excitement, loyalty and they know what they are looking at.

[@onlyjoetee]

This fight was all about the left hook and the straight right,the claw and the hammer,i love the way Floyd uses that straight right,boom accurate..

[@834373]

Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Sergio Martinez, Wladamir and Vitali Klitschko, Andre Ward.. All modern boxers who have been around the top of the sport.

[@Leftythechamp]

this is a fun fight, great fans, i loved this event

[@ThePrincesavage5]

this deff goes down as one of mayweathers greatest fights

[@116clearance]

ive watched this a million times, is this not the cortez show or am i wactchin a fight?

[@stubby42642]

id love to have this fight for my collection, any way i could get it from ya?

[@gspsucks]

i wish the camera would stay zoomed in all the time, whats up with these zoom'd out views. cant see if punches land

[@queensarah3]

What sing the Fans in the Background???? THX for Answer :-)

[@Slimkidd730]

@Pogii How do you think that based off of this??

[@Jdpteam]

You know I feel sorry for ole Ricky Hatton. I hope he makes a come back! I know he's been down and out and all but he was a good fighter. Hate to see a boxer who was on top become so low!

[@TheRexrapper]

What size gloves are they wearing?

[@Khaled4life]

@TGUNZ562 Yeah I cant believe he had the fight that close, Mayweather was so clearly ahead on the cards.

[@BlackOwnedDollars]

@AlexChandler100 His style is great for the sport. It separates guys with a ability to slip and dodge, from guys who swing their arms widely hoping to connect similar to girls who fight in the street

[@shankthatup]

@ryu1150 so when ali 1st lost to fraizer he was never the same even tho he went on to beat frazier twice foreman ,shavers,norton an many other fighters who have done the same?

[@Blackjesus3]

Floyd is a brilliant fighter

[@Zakariia]

@TheRexrapper im pretty sure it's 8oz gloves they are wearing.

[@divinesense]

i agree.. hatton can't hit him on the outside.. so he lunges in to get in the inside (where he's best at) and gets caught up and holds floyd every time. Cortez is a solid ref.. he's a lot better then some out there who allow low blows, rabbit punches and hits to the back of the head....

[@Snortpizza]

Floyd and Manny r my 2 favorite boxers anyway. They'll meet in the ring one day. Too much controversy right now though.

[@blacktee31]

People keep sayin Cortez, but that's also what the commentators are sayin. I watch it on mute, you'd be surprised at how they actually say things to sway your opinion about the fight instead of just telling what's going on.

[@adxgr0undzer0]

@incredibleXMan Ricky's right elbow is above Mayweather's head why would nhe not split it?

[@BillyKristel]

at 3:09 see how Cortez calls time in, where was that in the mayweather/ortiz fight last week??

[@bluemonkjd]

When the referee is talking more than the commentators, something's gone terribly wrong.

[@Light3471]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. for President 2016

[@yaknow11]

@btnupe1 To each it's own. Nothing wrong with blood and guts in my opinion, but I respect your point as well. Although, the viewing of a no retreat, exchanging of years of learned skill, toe to toe combat without either backing off is what blows the roof off the arena and a test of true warriors at work. A true test of a fighter to unleash his own skill effectively while fully engaging the rainstorm of the other. This may contribute to why Floyd has the record but still lack public praise.

[@BlackOwnedDollars]

@shockzplintz So Cortez let Ortiz get knocked out by not keeping his guard up? Rightttt

[@Fict10n]

If you want to learn how to systematically break down an aggressive opponent, watch this fight.

[@icebergdl757]

@ajbalagtas How and did you see this fight...lol

[@MrOmydamn]

To all u guys hating on Cortez....He is the only ref that didnt allow Hatton to hold and punch..Hatton whould have never reached the status he acheived if other refs wouldnt have allowed him to fight this way. I've seen this guy many times hit fighters while having them in a head lock and get credit for it.

[@ARDANE86]

@runrunforest5 actually a left uppercut would be the better option...i was yellen at the screen in the hatton mayweather fight...its not illegal to duck...hatton feels uncomfortable and puts dudes in head locks//watch all of his fights he does it alot..he should throw some left uppercuts..it makes sence:)

[@yaiqab]

The way Hatton got beat on in this fight, he will never be the same fighter. People don't understand how Floyd beats on people. He constantly hits them with on the money left hooks and right hands over 9-10 rounds, and then knocks you out. That's cumulative damage. He's retired many prominent fighters or effectively made them dead fighters fighting. N'Dou, Corley, Judah, Gatti, Baldomir, Hatton, etc. were never the same after they fought Mayweather.

[@dgwbuildwright]

@Dale1cool no need to get personal . i commented on the fight i didnt comment about you.for the record i am not an idiot, just thorough.

[@Uberboy07]

LOL pause the vid & scroll your cursor down the loading bar. half the time it looks like they're making out

[@Slimkidd730]

AFter this fight is when I became a floyd fan. I was a hatton fan and I that floyd was overrated. When floyd defeated hatton is when I truly started paying attention to him. Floyd is that good people......haters need to wake up.

[@SEYEBOY]

Did you just put hatton under movement LOL

[@PATexas]

That check left helped Mayweather when this

[@Dainfamous_B]

reason y we dont have as much world class boxers as we should is because boxing is not really a major sport here in america a lot of the athletes that could be great boxers are football baseball or basketball players its very rare a kid wants to grow up to become a fighter over the sports i mentioned

[@Blackjesus3]

Harold wtf how is the fight a tie in the 3rd round

[@Rikanlynx86]

@Easyandy100 Put in Steve Smoger, and see how much more fluid the fight would have been. Floyd was holding but there were many times when the inside action was about to pick up and Cortez would disrupt it.

[@ProfRogers]

If Joe Cortez had referreed every World Title bout in history then Roberto Duran would have been a JOURNEYMAN.

[@TheGameAdvisor_1]

In 2011 only 1 boxer with 0 losses AND 0 draws..... MAYWEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EternalCall]

Yes in the first rounds he was going in while moving his head.. Not in the way that you were thinking..

[@maryannjowett7778]

whats cortez problem in this fight

[@Light3471]

No it's a strategy, why did you reply to me?

[@BGChamp2019]

So youre saying that PBF didnt even use his own fighting style against hatton and that if he did use his own style he wouldve beaten him soundly right? Isnt PBF fighting style slowly backing up and countering which he did in this fight, the DLH fight, the marquez fight,the baldimor fight and the Judah fight? It wasnt the jab that knocked hatton out. It was him using his right and check hooking.

[@papoose1223]

@svp2010 they love there fights!?

[@adronias]

You need your eyes tested. Hatton is stepping forward and Floyd is putting his arms round him. The reason hatton isn't punching as much is because floyds using his arms to hold hattons down and stop him from getting punches off.

[@bull6599]

@onlyjoetee Exactly. Oscar De La Hoya had 1 of the best jabs in boxing and Floyd countered him into submission as far as his jab is concerned. Many ppl wonder why Oscar stopped throwing his jab vs Floyd & it's b/c the trade-off wasnt worth it. The return-counter was harder than what he was dishing out. That's what makes Floyd so hard to beat. He takes ur best offensive weapon & makes u pay for using it. U have to have a plan A, B, C, & D to beat Floyd

[@silata]

Brliient fighter has a weakness... So i hope manny and floyd fight soon.. Both can test there greatness

[@kenomy66]

@Dmidgette1 I'm not prejudiced who was holding? hatton was trying to get on the inside- all i'm saying is that for this round the referee wouldn't let hatton work the body-which is his style. It prejudices hatton because he wasn't able to fight in an effective way.

[@shankthatup]

@rizzo7 i dnt think this fight gives any info of pacman beatin mayweather i think the 1st 4 rounds of judah maybe does mayweather adjusted after that but what if he ends up getin ko'd before 4? pacman faster then judah stronger then judah more skill heart an they both south paw

[@superblaze23]

i noticed that mayweather when at clinch and hatton trys to hit him he gives his back to the punches

[@DuppyShots]

analysing this fight all floyd does is run round the ring, throw one punch, clinch hatton, as soon as hatton gets into his stride, he clinches him and does the same thing over and over!! i wanna see floyd brawl for once, throw some punches, he did it against mosley and he did good, i really wanna see the pacqiuao fight so everyone can see floyds true abilities but that 0 of his is stopping it

[@zab7073]

even though everyone's hating on Floyd for talking about fighting Hatton in England, and i'd much rather see him fight Pacuiao, Cotto, or Paul Williams next, a fight where the ref is on Hatton's side could be the difference in the fight so long as Hatton is shot by now. Cortez was awful in this fight.

[@834373]

It's nothing to do with racism, it's purely about their personalities and styles. Ricky was a proud Englishmen who was very likeable and made every second of every round a fight. Khan used England as a stepping stone and jumped to America as soon as he could, abandoning his English supporters who had been paying 50 pounds to go and watch him knock tomato-cans out in one round.

[@BGChamp2019]

What I mean by blueprint is that there is a weakness in PBF's game that can be exploited but he hasnt ran into the type of fighter than can take advantage of of it until now. Castillo used pressure and had punching power but didnt have the speed to connect. RH just was a rough pressure fighter without speed or devastating power like LC. How did he beat LC soundly when the fight couldve gon either way?

[@TheClassifiedMan]

whats up with all the holding?!

[@BGChamp2019]

Hatton is landing that jab too much for floyd to be considered a supreme defensive fighter.

[@IceeThirdd]

Everybody ready for Floyd to lose talking about he can't beat Oscar, Hatton is just as fast yet and still he beat them all and is still undefeated.

[@lastinglemore]

I think they're chanting: "there's only one ricky hatton"

[@FoSheezyMikeezyDoot]

@ajp135212 then can you explain how mayweather struggled against de la hoya and how Pacquiao destroyed him with ease? de la hoya mayweather was just as close as Pacqiao marquez. styles make fights but a good offense can always penetrate and beat a good defense.

[@MrENGLISHBULL]

@runrunforest5 I suggest you take a look at Mayweathers lightweight fights, He would have obliterated Hatton even easier back in the day.... Leagues ahead dude...

[@TheDonGonzalez]

@puromexicano1017 No he can adjust to anything. He's fought pretty much every style

[@blindthief]

In the early going HBO did a terrible job of judging this fight. If you closed your eyes and listened to the commentary you'd think Hatton was dominating Floyd which he wasn't. Hatton showed aggression but it wasn't effective. Floyd was landing that straight right very cleanly. He was not rattled by the pressure. It made him work harder than usual but he controlled the distance pretty well. Round 1 goes to Floyd because Hatton didn't do anything but chase him around.

[@jaykiriona]

4 people dislike joe cortez's reffing.

[@blacktee31]

I can see why Cortez kept breaking them up, Ricky kept puttin Floyd in a choke hold and when Ricky gets him to the ropes Floyd ties him up.

[@brixtonmystery]

You know what you're talking about.

[@divinesense]

i dont understand why hatton never threw a right hook to the body.... the thing is when these fighters fight Mayweather... they always head hunt.

[@mickee06]

your absolutley right. but i think floyds counter punching would be a problem for manny. as it was when he fought marquez. but theres other reason to why i believe floyd would beat manny

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

@frEEturk "Is that contain a subject and verb" ??? What??

[@TheRexrapper]

People don't know nothing about boxing. Floyd was breaking him down from round 1 to the KO. He was running into that left hook all night. This was a great gameplan by Mayweather. Also you can't use this fight to determine that Manny would beat Floyd. Hatton and Manny fight nothing alike. Hatton is a pressure fighter than tries to beat you on the inside. Manny is all mid range. Jumps in, gets off, and jumps out. Manny would lose to Floyd because he can't adjust or cut the ring off.

[@Dmidgette1]

@kenomy66 I don't think the ref was wrong. Yes Hatton is a inside fighter. So what most pure boxers do to a inside fighter is grab as soon as they get inside automatically the ref is gonna break. Mostly it was Hatton doing the holding on the inside.

[@Xoxon1987]

the hard part for hatton was getting to the inside. he was able to do it easily but cortez made him do it way to often leading to hi taking to much damage

[@Tips4n00bs]

hatton vs cortez 2 i want that fight!

[@SharpWanker]

@Tricky87dk lol i can see u dont agree but look it up no where is it illegal he is pinning it not shooting it into their face to inflict damage

[@hammerskin87]

Hatton was outboxed but the fight could have been a lot closer had the ref not deducted the point off Hatton. That was very, very harsh. Because of this and the constant breaking up on the inside he ended up losing by KO or TKO but he could have lost on the score cards and this would have been a bit more respectful for him. His defence throughout the fight was shocking. He has no defence. He made Floyd look like the hardest puncher to come out of Vegas. If he fights Manny I hope he beats him.

[@bull6599]

Southpaws are also susceptible to straight rights which is Floyd's best punch. It's damn near unstoppable. If I had to put my $ on 1 guy taking away the other's best punch I'd bet on Floyd. Manny also struggles against technical fighters who can turn him, use angles. have head movement, etc. That's why he always looked average vs Marquez. If u put him in the ring vs guys like Margs who come straight forward he's a world beater though.

[@shockzplintz]

CORTEZ IS MAYWEATHER'S MAN! LIKE HOW ORTIZ AND MAYWEATHER CORTEZ DID LET THAT HAPPEN

[@OmarTheGuy]

@jimmymckooel yea, but it isnt a street fight, is it? :D

[@another2centsworth]

Hell it looks like Hatton was fighting Cortez and Mayweather to me.

[@EternalCall]

Plus Manny will not stop, he will chase Floyd all night long and his southpaw stance will hurt Floyd a lot. At one point, Mayweather will be stopped by the left. Manny's explosiveness will kill Floyd.. I think Manny's style is custom fit to hurt Mayweather. In his style reside all Floyd's weaknesses shown in his fights: 1- southpaw (deCorley, Judah) 2- Pressure (Castillo, Hatton) 3- Speed (Judah) 4- Movement (Hatton) Add the output, heart and stamina of Manny and Floyd will be KO. You'll see..

[@06Kingrich]

Hatton wanted to control the fight, its unfortunate no one does that but Floyd!

[@bujoun76]

The "ref" is the only one doing his job properly! Boxers punch eachother. Anything more than that and the ref is supossed to step in. Pay attention, people, and you will see what's right in front of you.

[@mytubezbigger6285]

I dont see why people dont see that Mayweather was beating Ricky Hatton at his own game. He actually used Hatton's style against him. Emanuel Steward just flat out wrong. Believe it or not Larry Merchant was getting it right more than any of the commentators here.

[@omartop1]

its Amazing... Floyd Mayweather gets better after every fight! hes like none other. he will destroy Pac-roid!

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

Every time I watch I hope Ricky will win.

[@lignas]

Hatton and Oscar hit Floyd more than Mosley ever did.,...

[@timeless0583]

Mayweather punished this man....

[@blacktee31]

That's why he's fighting Rios.

[@thebrownchooyi]

floyd's notorious elbows......

[@itsabird]

@777yojoe every good boxing training knows tactics to tie up and fight on the inside. one of the things teddy atlas says he admires most about boxing is how truly skilled fighters can sneak blows in when standing at phone booth range and be right where all the guys blows can land but slip and evade. a lot of the whole time guys use tricks like spinning a guy into a blow, moving someone with your shoulders, or breaking tie ups to throw.

[@adxgr0undzer0]

Lol, fyi guys Mayweather is smart he knows that in order to get away from being cornered you're going to get hit once or so. The reason mayweather is lowering his head is to bring hatton in and get countered with a right hand.

[@joeclemm15]

its interesting how This Floyd is not as strong as Floyd now. Even though its at welterweight. Floyd is now a fully fledged Welter. Before he was a more natural 140. he fully grown his 147 body

[@dan32113]

@Fict10n he can box, Hatton has brilliant footwork. He move"s side to side, he"s just aggressive pressure fighter, like Duran. Duran by the way is considered the best lightweight of all time!

[@stlbound1]

@smoothfishy well aggression only goes so far at some point you gotta land those punches. like i say bout the castillo mayweather 1 fight if you look he's being aggressive but ALOT ALOT ALOT of those punches did not land

[@kamjf08]

True it was a masterful display, would of been a lot better to watch though without him jumping in every minute it just got irritating haha

[@TheRey4you]

@svp2010 not one of them best but THE best.

[@crookedkingz09]

Floyd holding because Hatton charging in recklessly swing wild. He wanted to go toe to toe and just swing no block or dodging punches and we all know Floyd ain't having that.

[@Rikanlynx86]

I am really trying to enjoy this fight again, but watching Cortez not letting these guys work in the inside, breaking them up every 10 seconds, REALLY ruined the entertainment value of this fight. Cortez should not be allowed to ref these high profile fights anymore, he is always involved too much in fights.
