Ricky Hatton Vs Floyd Mayweather- Nini utabiri wako?

paaaaah!...anaona nyota, anaona kihindihindi. Miguu yake haina nguvu imekuwa kama ya mtoto anayejifunza kutembea ambapo hawezi kusimama kabla ya kupiga mweleka. Anaona dunia yote inazunguka...anajaribu kusimama ili auonyeshe Ulimwengu kwamba lile sumbwi alilotandikwa usoni halijamuathiri...lakini miguu haishiki chini...anapiga mweleka tena. Pambano limekwisha na kidomodomo kimefungwa.

Huyu si mpiganaji ni mhuni tu ambae anapenda kuwashika wapinzani wake ili wasipate nafasi ya kurusha masumbwi yao. Ndondi kama ilivyo mchezo wowote ule una sheria zake na huyu jamaa alikuwa hafuati sheria hivyo ilibidi referee aingilie kila alipokuwa anazivunja sheria hizo. Siri yake imeshafichuka, mkono kwa mkono haoni ndani, anavizia kumuweka mpinzani kwenye kamba na kumshika ili afanye uhuni wake, lakini akikutana na referee makini basi atakuwa analalama kila siku.

Jamaa yuko kwenye usingizi mzito baada ya sumbwi la uhakika
 
Kipigo kitakatifu! Nimependa sana hii, huyu jamaa alikuwa anatamba sana. Ijumaa kwenye TV hapa UK ilikuwa ni habari zake tu, waingereza wanamtakia heri na kumtuma akambomoe "Pretty Boy". Lakini ameipata habari yake, "hitman" kutwangwa na "pretty boy", safi sana. Nimeangalia mechi zake za nyuma kwenye youtube, ni kweli anatumia sana ujanja wa kufanya foul ndipo ashinde.
 
Hatton broken by the hands of a master but vows to fight on

Richard Williams in Las Vegas
Monday December 10, 2007
The Guardian

While his thousands of travelling fans prepared to pack up their sore throats and their fuzzy memories of a lost weekend in Las Vegas, Ricky Hatton was leaving no doubt that his first defeat will not mark the end of his professional career. "Sorry, everybody," he told his supporters as he watched Floyd Mayweather Jr celebrating the successful defence of his World Boxing Council world welterweight title in Las Vegas on Saturday night, "but I'll be back, don't worry."

Hatton's record now reads 43-1, while Mayweather advances to an immaculate 39-0. But the Manchester fighter was adamant that defeat would not induce him to draw the final curtain, even though the prospect of a big-money fight with Oscar De La Hoya, Mayweather's previous victim, appeared to recede.
Having fallen after 1min 34sec of the 10th round at the hands of an opponent manifestly superior in every aspect of the art of boxing except that of generating the loyalty of a large number of fans, Hatton will be wondering about the state of his value on the world market. He and Mayweather produced a marvellously compelling spectacle, but so conclusive was the defeat that a rematch would be pointless, even if the American champion were to entertain such a notion.

"My pride is hurt more than the punches hurt," Hatton said afterwards. "I thought I fought well. I was forcing it but maybe he's very good at making you miss. I didn't think I was out of the fight but I think I could have been a bit more solid in my approach. I didn't think he was murderous but there was not quite enough quality from me. I wasn't quite smart enough.

"I'll go away and have a few months off to have a proper think about it, but don't forget I moved up to welterweight to fight the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. It wasn't my night but I feel like I'm still improving. The knockout didn't feel as bad as I thought it would and I feel like I've been in a lot more gruelling fights which I've won. Without a doubt it hurts because I thought I had the style to do it. I had a great chance and I had all the tools. But there was a time to be more subtle and I didn't, I just went for it and set myself up like a mug."

Although De La Hoya, the former champion, promoted the fight and was clearly delighted with the success of the evening in the hall itself, on pay-per-view television and in closed-circuit screenings, afterwards his circumspection about a possible fight with Hatton was impenetrable. "I'm going to absorb this wonderful fight, keep training and enjoy the holidays with my family," he said. "There are still many questions out there. It would be a viable fight because of his [Hatton's] style. It would be a clash. You can't rule nothing out."

In Britain, a Hatton-De La Hoya fight would represent a lucrative lap of honour for the boxer who caught the country's imagination last week and has given his supporters such an exhilarating ride. In the United States, however, it would mean much less to an audience who saw the Englishman so comprehensively dismantled. After the euphoric build-up to Saturday's event, and the excitement of the fight itself, Hatton is now just another name on the list of Mayweather's 39 victims, and probably no longer close to the top of the agenda of De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.

"Ricky Hatton came to fight," De La Hoya said. "It was a tremendous showing and I'm still in awe of his fans. They created this event, this amazing spectacle. But, hands down, there's no doubt about it that Mayweather is the best. You can't argue with that. It was a masterful performance from a great champion."

Should a meeting with De La Hoya fail to materialise for Hatton, there is the prospect of a confrontation with his fellow countryman Junior Witter, the WBC super-lightweight champion. Another possible opponent is Ricardo Torres of Colombia, the World Boxing Organisation champion of the 140lb division, who, like Hatton, has a record blemished only by a single defeat.

By contrast with the 29-year-old Hatton's unequivocal commitment to a future inside the ring, the 30-year-old Mayweather sowed seeds of confusion in the hours after the fight. "I'm done," he told the crowd as he held up the WBC belt, but later he said no decision had been made. He, too, was planning to spend Christmas with his family, and refused to commit himself on the question of his future.

He was adamant, however, in his praise of his defeated opponent. "This has truly been an amazing experience," he said. "Ricky Hatton is a hell of a fighter. I tip my hat to him. Nothing but the utmost respect."
 
Tehe, tehe.... So its £10m for a 10th round knockout defeat? not bad-£1m per round!!!You can kill me for that..., honestly.

Hatton crashes out... but cashes in

Mayweather He came, he soared and, if he didn't get anywhere near conquering, at least Ricky Hatton can console himself with one of the biggest pay-days ever for a British sportsman.

Hatton – 'The Hitman' – was paid £10million to endure ten painful rounds against Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

In the end it was a left hook from 'Pretty Boy' Floyd that ended the contest for the Mancunian.


But his plucky effort to win the WBC world welterweight title brought him a purse five times his payout for knocking out Kostya Tszyu in 2005.

The other big winners were the bookies. They stood to lose £10million had Hatton won ... or so they said.

Also smiling was Sky TV, which generated £60million in worldwide pay-per-view revenue, eclipsing its previous record of £48million for Lennox Lewis v Mike Tyson in 2002 – despite this bout not starting until 5am British time.

Gate receipts for the bout topped £6million, with 16,000 fans paying up to £1,500 to join celebs, including support for the Briton from David Beckham and Coleen McLoughlin, and A-list US stars such as Tiger Woods, Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone.

More than 25,000 Britons were in Nevada to back Hatton, and casinos sold 18,000 tickets for screenings
