Boy it is really tough to bet a guy like this when in the back of your mind you would like nothing better than to see Hatton knock his head off and shut that big mouth of his. Someone guide me. Looks like line is finally creeping down. Be interesting to see how much Roger and the boys are betting.

I feel the same way on this. Although I'd LOVE to see Hatton pull the upset against a guy who I feel has no class, I sure as hell don't want it at the cost of a lucrative wager. I like the way Hatton conducts himself. I've been a fan of his since the Phillips fight. He's a class act. On the other hand, Mayweather is a prick and he surrounds himself around the like. Despite his good deeds in the community, I just don't like this guy. That being said, I never bet with my heart and I'm not changing for this fight. I still think Mayweather is a class above. Hatton would die in the ring to win this but it won't be enough IMO. Collazo had Hatton in all kinds of trouble and Collazo isn't in Floyds league. Urango hurt Hatton w/a body shot and I think floyd will do the same. He's already gone on record saying he's going to stop hatton w/a body shot. I like floyd by dec or late stoppage. I have about 3k on this and plan on betting a little more. -240 is too good to pass on. Perhaps the large Hatton/Vegas contingent will bring those odds down a little more.
Cmon romi Quit dumping money on Mayweather. Your killing the odds for me. Wait till fight night. This could go under two 2-1. Lets work together here and that means you to box and Weasel. By the way did you see the hbo special? The first one where Mayweather just keeps talking about money. It almost makes ya puke. I like a lot of that stuff Hatton said :mj07: Basically saying who gives a shit. See Mayweather has Baldimer as a sparring partner. Looks like Mayweather is ready for a lot of holding. Can't believe anyone would help him. Looks like money talks.
My bets were placed some time ago and not nearly @ the good value that is currently available.
I saw the 1st episode on HBO. I have it on DVR.
I'm not convinced Baldy is such a great sparring partner here. He's slower than shit and his punches don't have the snap of Hattons. Pressure w/out speed is a tailored made style for Floyd. Hatton is arguably the fastest opponent (other than Zab) that Floyd has faced.
Im going way above my norm on this one - even though its still peanuts compared to you guys - on Mayweather. The best decision ive seen is +130, the best ko +425. KO might improve, probably not dec. I took straight as well at -235 and -231.
Using him as the last leg of several parlays would have been a good idea, but late now.

Shhhhhhh NightJ Weasel sees that line he will dump so muuch on Mayweather it will be back up to -280. I need it to get a little under 2-1 to unload. them english boys must love that 2-1. Boy i hope they mute all that singing those Brits like to do.
lol. the bet was avaiable for like $150 if i remember right. the bets for a few k were closer to standard
good luck with 2-1, i dont know if youll catch it. -210 for a large bet would be phenomenal.

Arent you the guy who says Hatton doesn't hold? If Mayweather gets knocked out in any round i will never comment about a boxing match ever again.
Romi i can't get this out of my head. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh MMMMMayWeatttttttttttthhhher. You will see what i mean when you watch the HBO special on Hatton/Mayweather
Collazo is one side of the coin. Hatton also broke down and outworked master technician Kostya Tszyu. Hatton also destroyed Castillo.
On one hand, getting 1.44 (-220??) to back Mayweather outright sounds like a dream come true. He is an excpetional fighter. But I have this feeling that Hatton's strengths play to Mayweather's weaknesses (such as they are).
I imagine the fight will fought at close range and that Hatton will be burying in to his chest and swinging away for all his worth. Mayweather has probably the best defence in boxing, but I imagine that he will spend a lot of time in defence mode and less time in attack. Even if he doesnt land shit, it will look like Hatton is winning rounds just by the number of punches thrown. If Oscar can lose via a MD after getting gassed in the eigth round, then Hatton has a real chance just by pressing, presssing, pressing.
If Hatton can walk thru Kostya and Castillo, then he'll be able to walk thru whatever Mayweather's brittle hands can offer.
If Mayweather can keep Hatton at distance, then it's his fight. I can't imagine Mayweather's tactic is to brawl, I imagine he'll be running and boxing from the outside.
What does that mean?
Mayweather via PTS wide or Hatton via PTS narrow. So I guess that means the over for me. Shame the odds are so tight. Maybe Mayweather via PTS with a Hatton PTS "Money Back" hedge.
Have to think about it some more.

I give Hatton a shot.
Everybody is bringing up Hattons fight against Collazo, well, ok Oscar fought on even terms with Floyd but coulnt keep up his workrate, which was not great btw.
It's true Hatton is very fast and I dont think Floyd can dance away from him like he did from Baldo or Gatti.
BTW, I dont see any resemblance between Gatti and Hatton, Hatton is much better.
I bet the over, 25% at betfair, that the fight goes more than 6 rounds and I also loaded up on Hatton by decision at +650 at bodog and draw at +2900(Betfair).
Maybe I will hedge my bets a little...

Hey Punchy see if you can find out who the ref is for this fight. Hopefully it is not the same one that did the Hatton Castillo fight.
This is my last comment: if Hatton and Mayweather were the same skin color, from the same region, and both kept their mouths shut, the lines would be ?375 or -400 Mayweather. And I?d still take it.
Take away all the trash talk, TV shows, bias and prejudice, and you have a mismatch. I am betting over 50% of my roll on this with no hedge, if Im wrong Im done with betting for at least a year and will not offer any boxing analysis. The only chance Hatton has, and I mean this, is if Mayweather coasts to purposely create a close decision and a rematch in the UK. I?m not convinced this behaviour is beneath him.

If you guys can get an account with Stan James, then I suggest you do so. They ALWAYS have the best odds on British fighters opponents. Mayweather is -200 with them just now and you can bet up to $5,000.
I really like Hatton as a person but he is going to get smoked in this fight.
It almost reminds me of the Colin Jones vs Donald Curry fight when people actually thought the very tough, nice guy Jones had a chance against the super skilled Curry.
I am afraid this fight will not be a repeat of Curry/Honeygan. Mayweather does not get weight drained.
I think back to the tough time Hatton had with Collazo.
I think of Mcgee decking him with a nifty counterpunch.
I think of Thaxton cutting him to shreds.
I think of Urango hurting him to the body and beating him in a battle of wills which forced Ricky to box. If plan A does not work against Mayweather, is he going to change gameplans and outbox him? :mj07:
I am British and it pains me to say this but Mayweather is going to cut Hatton to pieces and it is not going to be pretty. I think Mayweather is going to prove a point in this fight and the game Hatton is going to suffer.
I don't think this fight will go the distance.
I've heard it's Joe Cortez who I thought was very pro-Hatton in the Castillo fight. Actually, I do think this favors Hatton, as opposed to someone who constantly breaks the fighters quickly like Jay Shady. It's a happening- Golden Boy Promotions-(and Fukk them) is already working this match towards Hatton. Recent Golden Boy fights set up for their fighter to win- DHopkiins over Forbes, Casamayor over Santa Cruz, and Guzman over Soto.... I'm speculating here so don't take it as gospel..
Oh brother my bet just got cut in half. How the hell can the Mayweather camp let him be the ref? Let me guess Ross, Morettii and Ford will do the judging? Liar, Liar and pants on fire. Looks like Mayweather is gonna need a knockout to win.
i see the same fight as you Weepaul barring some fluke. If i lose i won't be happy but some of the sting will be gone knowing Mayweather lost.
Yea, Ricky is a sweetheart and a class guy, but when he realizes what he has to contend with after the bell rings, it's a different story. If PBF follows his usual insane training regimen and DOES want to make a point here, Ricky will go home richer but not welterweight champ. Plus, most guys agree 147 ain't a good neighborhood for him to hang out in. I was at the Castillo fight. Lots of fun. The Brits are the best fans going. Brought their own band with them!. That won't help them this time. Tough as Hatton is, his skills are not as honed as PBF's. A pure boxing match I don't see here. What can Hatton do? Brawl, throw power shots and hope? Mayweather may be arrogant and rub folks the wrong way, but can walk the walk.
