Oscar is even lamer...how bout how he showed his support for Hatton:
"Let's just put it this way....if Hatton had fought me in December, he would have knocked me out"
Uh, last time I checked, oscar, you did get knocked out....just cause you quit on the stool doesn't mean you weren't stopped....what a jerkoff...oscar de la puta
I didn't like what I saw from Hatton. Tense, nervous, closed off body language, fleeting eye contact, quick to leave the stage and moment.
He seems overwhelmed by the moment. Possibly dehydrated, in a hurry to get food and water in him.
Anyway this is armchair psychology, but concerning nonetheless.

I agree, it probably was the weight that got him. He supposedly had a longer training camp than usual.
He looked better in that ending speech, but definitely concerning when on the scales. Very thin, tight body, limited arm movements and such, suggestions tension and physical discomfort. Pac looked great mentally and physically.
If he pulls another Oscar, geez wiz, I may just never bet against Pac again. I'd surely bet on PBF to beat him, only for him to die on the scales.

Just got back from working away from home.
These are my picks so far.
Ferguson to beat Quintero at +190.
I don't think Quintero is as good as he looked in his last fight.
I believe Ferguson has better skills and much better stamina.
Hatton ITD HUGE!!!
Hatton to win BIG!!!
McDermott to beat Williams at +225.
Williams is completely erratic and should not be this big a favourite over anyone.
Good luck Fella's!!!!:toast: :toast: :toast:

Burton/Egobi in the UK must have been scrubbed. Not sure if anyone else had dough on it but I had a small bundle on the over.
