Hatton v Mayweather

Vaanish · 12-06-2007, 11:30 AM

So it’s the big fite this weekend. Who do you think is going to win? I’ve got a modest £5 on Mayweather to batter Hatton. Its gonna be a good fite for sure.

Discuss.

What's a "fite"? Is it kin to a "kite"?

Or are you talking about something called a "fight"? you know, where two overpaid idiots climb into a square ring and beat the snot out of each other for a crowd's enjoyment.

Getting payed millions of pounds to partake in a sport that they love? Far from idiotic.

I'm not a crazy fan of boxing myself, but I can still appreciate the technical aspect to boxing. My friend boxes and talks to me about it and demonstrates techniques and whatnot, it's a lot more complicated than throwing you arms around.

Bashing a sport that you don't like, real mature. Whether you like it or not, boxers are athletes that put their bodies through **** to get ready for a fight. Chances are you wouldn't be able to handle the mental aspect of their training. They don't call boxing the sweet science for nothing, there is a lot of technique and skill behind boxing. Maybe you should watch this fight, Mayweather is one of the most technical boxers out there.

My money is on Mayweather hands down. No disrespect to Hatton...but he ain't Mayweather.

Ya I agree. I am dying to watch the fite but I am no way paying sky £15. They definately know how to suck you dry for money. Im gonna listen on the radio.
