I'm sure watching that one back now knowing the result it would show how much in control Mayweather was he was swinging about half as much as Ricky yet hitting nearly all the time.
Always classed Floyd as a bit of a runner but he was quality tonight.

Ha, where else would you hear a boxer say "farting about"
Decent bloke is our Ricky, and able to laugh about it to.

Before the fight, I never knew much about Mayweather, but he's a defensive specialist, even if he does run and hold a bit. He just picked Ricky off in the last 3.
Soldato
I don't think Ricky was ever in control as such. Floyd just learned quickly and figured out how to pick his shots off.

Right off to sleep. been emotional chaps! 
Soldato
I didn't check before the fight, what were Ricky's odds?
You could more than likely count the clean shots Hatton landed on one hand, you wouldn't have thought Mayweather had been in a fight when you look at him tbh

thats what he does, he winds people up and such, but he seems genuine after fights and such. Think of him as Jose Morinho of the boxing world.
Soldato
Night all!

Off the BBC Sport website, round by round, sums it up nicely (and unfortunately)
Round nine: Hatton stalks his prey as he know he must, but the stinging attack from Mayweather last round has taken some of the power out of the Brit's arsenal. The will is there, the crowd is still singing his name, but Ricky's star is dimmed for the moment and he is getting picked off by a master boxer. Hats off to Mayweather. He is slick, quick, his judgement is good. He is a boxing great in action. Hatton is acquitting himself well enough but there is a gap in class which is starting to open up. And it pains me to write that.
