Big Fight predictions.

Hatton v Mayweather Ricky pulls it out of the bag across the pond,against one of the best fighters of all time..Where no one gives him a prayer.. Mayweather shows a lack of respect at just how good Hatton is,it's too late and he's on his obnoxious arse by the time he realises... Hatton gets his own plinth in the pantheon of champions,comes out as the best pound for pound fighter on the planet,and goes down in boxing legend for eternity... Here's hoping The safe bet is Mayweather on points,but fuck that... What say you?

heart and head says Hatton.

don't care about the other fights.

local pub Saturday. Stay behind. doors shut at 11. get there for 10 to.

Big step up in class for Kahn that one... Decent British champ Earl was,seen him fight a few times. But he might be a bit past his peak and ready for plucking,if Frank Warren's lined him up for Kahn..

And let's face it,if Kahn's half the shit-off-a-stick he's meant to be he should trounce even a prime Earl.. Kahn could be open to the right hand,with a big puncher..might even be a bit weak around the whiskers,having been on his arse against Willie Limmond who is a good boxer,but could'nt crack an egg...

I would'nt say Earl could'nt put a fag out,but he was never a heavy hitter either.. Chances for Earl are slim,as Kahn is being match-makered softly,as all the bright young things are at first..Intriguing step up in class nevertheless

Earl beat both Bobby Vanzie,and Steve Murray in British title fights..Good operators..So there is a bit of class about him..What's he got left I wonder?

but it ain't gonna happen...

Lloyd Honeygan v Don Curry Randy Turpin v Sugar Ray Robinson Buster Douglas v Mike Tyson.. David v Goliath

This is boxing,anything can happen...I'm starting to fancy Hatton knocks fuck out him..I love an underdog.Especially when he's up against a dickhead.

Hatton was'nt supposed to beat Kysta Tyzu either remember?A GREAT fighter!

He retired the fucker.

Granted,Mayweather is the best of the best..but he's taking it all a bit lightly,and even Ali came unstuck against Leon"äverage"Spinks when he did that... Surprising Mayweather is being so unprofessional,doing dancing shows on telly and believing Hatton is just a club fighter.. More fool him,Hatton is a fantasic boxer,with a chance..

What price is Hatton? i'm going to get me tenner on him if I can get 3/1 or better.

Jeffari-al-Texani wrote: I would love to see Hatton knock Mayweather's fucking head clear off of his fucking body...Mayweather is a fucking cunt...

but it ain't gonna happen...

why?

he's never fought a Ricky.

only one of his last five opponents have been under 30.

if Ricky can get close, and the Ref allows it, Ricky will defo hurt him. Ricky's the best body puincher i've seen, as long as he can get in there, and the Ref is fair. Ricky is not a dirty fighter. that's all bollocks.

and as for Mayweather being better than robinson or ali. what a load of tosh.

If Floyd is to win, it will have to be early. Coz Ricky can bang for 12 with anyone. Ricky will wear him down the longer it goes. no doubts.

If Mayweather is at his best then there is only one winner.. This guy has the best defence I've ever seen..and his hand speed is utterly blurring.. He's a five weight champ kershie,he's fought every fucker,and beat them handsdown.. He's easily in the Ali,Robinson,Leonard,class.. I have all his fights on Dvd,he's proper shit-hot!

But I don't think he'll be at his best,because he holds Ricky in too much contempt.. Hopefully his underestimation of Ricky,a great fighter himself,will be his downfall..We've seen it happen before.

I don't see Ricky getting knocked out early either,good chin big heart,no chance! This will go a few rounds,probably the distance..Unless Hatton gets Mayweather early.C'mon!!

thats fair enough. you've seen more of him than me. i know he is class.

but i've just got this funny feeling that Ricky will do it. as you say. when that bell goes, anything can happen. one on one. we've seen huge upsets before.

I obviously want Hatton to win, but I've got a feeling he's going to lose on a cut...

He cut badly earlier in his career and hasn't had one for a while and Mayweather punches accurately to say the least.

But nothing would surprise me here It's too close to call.

Hatton for me

That mayflower gadji givin it the big un too much! Hope he kicks his arse!

Defo Hatton, no worries

hatton all the way! really hope he wins cos this mayweather comes across as such a dick - read in the paper today that he carries at least $30,000 in cash at all times no matter what he is doing...

Stylewise,this is very similar to Leonard v Duran

Tommy Hearns was Ricky Hatton's idol,when he was coming through,hence the monicker "Hitman" But stylewise with the outstanding bodywork he dishes out,he's alot like Duran..Huge compliment to Ricky,but I believe he's that good...

And Mayweather,he's just like Ray Leonard,only with even faster hands unfortunately..Without the class of Leonard outside the ring though..

One things for sure,there will be no"No mas" from Ricky Hatton on Saturday... He'll be all over Mayweather like a rash,with his superb work-rate and body work.. Floyd will have to stay with him,or he'll get beaten up..

This is the big one So hard to make a prediction in a fight like this,and easy to end up with egg all over your face..Hatton wins on points,just....Been alongtime coming for boxing fans this one....I love this shit,can't wait!

Ive just got Sat night off ,so i'll be watching,

Come on Ricky!

I've been to a few of Hatton's and Calzaghe's fights,Gaz.. Good nights out,and I really rate them both.. I'd give my left bollock to be at this one..

Friend of yours is he Burt ? To be fair to Commy,we saw fuck all evidence of what he was accused of,did we? And you hate him anyhow,on previous needle...go on ave it with him now..again While I eat me beef curry

Sometimes a lad's just got to take a voluntary leave long enough for it to become patently clear that there was never any evidence.

Which is what one would expect when there's been a set-up.

Saturday nights alright for fighting.

Shucks,I thought you were on maternity leave! Are you imlying there has been skulldugerry? How so? It was a pretty unsavoury allegation levelled at you Comrade,wer'nt it?..and we still don't know if you are a piece of shit or not,do we? to be fair...just saying like

I don't think its unsavoury at all. As for evidence, I know what he was capable of. I got a series of internal messages from a young lady regarding stuff he'd sent to her regarding myself, including the original messages he sent to her all C & P'ed.

In fact after it all kicked off, he sent me a predictable grovelling apology, which i also have in my inbox. I suspect this is cos he knew i had a final nail in the coffin for him, if i chose to wield the hammer blow.

I'll keep it all under wraps for a little bit longer. Thank feck i dont use my real name on here Boss has been needing a reason to sack me for agessss..

You blummin tease Reynolds!

How are we supposed to know,if you are witholding vital evidence? Could we all get the sack or summink?

Ah, Burt, I sent you a copy of the PM in question myself, with the apology, did I not?

As for the apology, I offered it because after talking with Popesy via PM, I figured I owed it to you:

Comrade Shampanyov wrote: In retrospect, given my own recent experience with false accusations, I shouldn't have repeated something I'd heard only as a rumor...I think at this point I should probably apologize to Burt for repeating a rumor heard.

I'll bring it all out of the dusty filing cabinet shortly. Let the people decide.

Interesting insight into how seriously you took all this internet stuff at the time. Serious enough to fuck up someone's career.

LOL Boaty. I'll keep it under my hat a bit longer. Lets leave the entertainment to a weekend, eh?

Burt Reynolds wrote: Interesting insight into how seriously you took all this internet stuff at the time. Serious enough to fuck up someone's career.

See, that's the thing Burt: It never happened. It was a set-up from the get-go. The only question is whether I was the only person set up, or if two of us were set up.

Re: Big Fight predictions

So who's running the book on commie and burt and what are the odds?

I'm out at the weekend though Burt,and wont be at all arsed then... Rate this is going,it's going to be Comrade W TKO RD 1..Is that what you really want? With the millions watching around the world? You need something special to turn this fight around Burt... and I'm afraid you need it now!

YEAH YEAH YEAH. Like someone a) could be arsed b) have the time to elaborate such an internet plot involving lots of different people/fake people, and a certain person's employers.

From what I recall, you as a 55 year old man spent much of the time bragging about pursuing and meeting a 20 yo girl from this site with severe mental health problems, up to this point, in an obsessive manner. I won't mention her name cos she's like bloody Candyman. It was all a bit odd at the time, and i really can't see that there could be some mystery internet mastermind behind it all.

Guilty as feck if you ask me. Shame the offended person cant speak just in case it all gets sent to his employers again.

Burt Reynolds wrote: Guilty as feck if you ask me. Shame the offended person cant speak just in case it all gets sent to his employers again.

Let's say that there really was an email sent. That would be evidence, would it not? Evidence that could be investigated to prove, once and for all, that the accused was "guilty as feck"?

No evidence was ever presented to me or anybody else, let alone investigated for veracity.

Says it all in my book.

LOL. This is just a scuffle at the weigh in. He's lost the last three bouts. Put him in a six month coma on the last one. I admire your cheering on the underdog spirit, Boaty. Too much watching Boro'.

I remain impartial.Unlike some,I've see fuck shit to judge anything He was in a 6 month coma after the last bout..But he's back for a rematch! You might have to nail this fucker to the floor to keep him down.. I'll leave you lads to thrash it out...up the apples n pears fer me

Back to the fight predictions:

I predict that 83% of the blokes that try to stay up to watch this will be fast asleep by the time it starts.

I predict that the American will spend over an 45 minutes making his way from his changing room to the ring.

i shall read all this tonight, after i've come in from pub.

it will be more entertaining then.

my money's on the english fella

BURT

I predict a riot...

They are saying 25,000 Brits have flooded over..Only 3000 have tickets..This lad has a bigger away following than any footy team in the land I really fuckin hope he does it for em...fingers crossed

That's the fella... Burt, could you let us know what time kick-off is please...

Hatton I hope, can't really stand the attitude of Mayweather. Since it's in the U.S. I just hope there's no scoring controversy (if Mayweather wins on points) that might lead to endless requests of a rematch from Hatton, and endless refusals of such from Mayweather.

Great to see so much support for Hatton over here though

Gosh I just like Hatton. Down to earth, working class guy. Good fighter, always gives his most. I think people see him as a real life "Rocky" How could I root against him?

I may be able to find a bar that shows it over here. I saw that Pay Per View wants $55 for it!!! Not that rich, kids!

Rondo Hatton?

why? is the champ back.emmm,burt can be a right nasty fuck sometimes

twat this twat Ricky.

and the tension builds.

Amazing video for the weigh in.

I'll stay awake on pure excitement,and the buzz of being alive itself,for sure..Kids at their Nana's,boxed off!Yipee!

But those not so blessed,take drugs! I've heard they are fun and a great way to keep pace,when you really wanna see these things..Ricky Hatton would understand,I'm sure Tension is mounting....

:p

pre- fight grub. its on the way

Kin ell!

Think i might have to stop up and order it after that!

Some of the lads from town have gone,wish i could've gont too,nevermind

Hope hatton kicks his fuckin arse!

I'd love Hatton to win tonight, i really would. But my money has gotta go on 'the money' if i'm honest. The height difference and reach advantage won't make too much diff if Ricky can play his game and get inside. He was 2 pound lighter at the hillarious weigh in but he'll put that on today.

I don't believe its as much about Ricky tonight. As we all know he's never looked better or prepared better.

I think it's more to do with how FM has prepared. He looks chuffin amazing, so I don't think that'll be a problem. It's mentally if he's ready for the initial onslaught that may be telling. If he can (may)weather that, and I have a feeling he can, then I think that he may well see him off late on maybe a stoppage through cuts.

Like i say, hope i'm wrong, cos he deserves it. And fair play to all the Gorton crew that i used to work with for going over.

All the best Ricky lad.

With you on that, Alf, lad.

Think Hatton will pick up a couple of cuts by round 5 and it'll be all over by the 9th.

Then half the MGM grand chairs will be lobbed in the ring.

Hope hatton wins as i've got £6,000 on the outcome!

Just woke up and thought I'd check the result on the computer.

It's not started yet though!

i reckon hatton is gonna lose on a technical knockout, 10th round, should of put a far ugly bloke like me, i would of scared him off or he would of made me look pretty

just beaten by the better man.

credit to Floyd. the best in the business.

Longer one here...

Bad Luck to get that slice- break the skin. Unfortunately. Did seem a no brainer from the start. Though still Crushed and do wish chance could've played more of a part.

So much Cash changed hands Last night.
