Hatton / Collazo rounds 11 and 12

Check this out. Round 11 is about even but , fast foward to round 12.
Hatton goes down and was really really close to being KTFO ..

If Collazo had just been a tad better or had 1 more round , Hatton would have been KTFO ...
Seriously though , round 12 will remind you of the PBF fight ...

Damn...i should've watch that fight again...before picking Hatton...:doh:..the last few months i been saying how Hatton is the easiest top opponent Mayweather could pick tofight...but i still went with him....

Collazo beat the helll out of Hatton in that last round...

 

Yes , Hatton was on his way out and Collazo isn't nearly as good as Mayweather ...
I called a Mayweather UD as soon as this fight was signed , though I rooted for Hatton.
Seeing the size difference , the writing was on the wall that Mayweather would stop him.
In order for Hatton to have any chance against Mayweather , he would have had to been the larger fighter , not the smaller one since he was already beaten out in other catagories like skill etc.

That 12th round of Collazo/Hatton really reminded me of what PBF just did.

 

I wish I would have reviewed it as well.

 

I bet all you simps who picked Hatton wished you rewatched that fight. Or if yall did, you probably just STILL went w/Hatton purely based on hope. It was quite predictable that Floyd was gonna kick his ass. As a Mayweather fan I had MUCH more concern when Floyd fought DLH, than I did Sat night.

 

Exactly! I had far more concern when he fought Judah also. Hatton..a tough son of a bitch...but a guy Floyd should always beat.

I don't have much concern with Cotto either and certainly not Mosley.

Floyd would stop Cintron and dominate Margarito.

Paul Williams is the only Welterweight I fear!

 

No, Cotto is definitely the biggest threat IMO. I'd be more concerned for that fight than any other in Floyd's career. But regardless, I think Floyd would find a way to beat Miguel.

Shane is too old to beat Floyd, Cintron is too soft, and Margarita is too slow.

Williams has a good chance, but I cant see him pulling it off.

All the Floyd haters have one last hope... and its Cotto. If Floyd beats Cotto, then put those miserable Floyd haters on suicide watch.::

 

Williams is the toughest fight for Floyd, IMO.

A huge welterweight, 6'2 or so, 82 inch wingspan, enters the ring over 160, southpaw who throws about 100 punches per round.

 

They'd say that Cotto is a blown up Jnr Welterweight that was almost koed by Corley! ::

Williams, stylistically, is more problems for Floyd. Cotto is too patient and he doesn't like to chase fighters (peep the middle rounds against Mosley) just like his compatriot trinidad.

Collazo landed 10 times the shots that mayweather

landed on hatton. If you only count the first 9 rounds.

 

Yeah, but that Cotto was fighting at 140 and appears to have improved substantially. Still I give Cotto about as much chance of beating Floyd as I did Hatton. Not that Cotto's in the same league as Hatton, but just stylistically I don't see any chance for Cotto. Floyd's greatest and most underrated attribute is neither his speed, nor his defense but rather his smarts. You ask him and he'll tell you the same thing.

 

I can't believe people even NEEDED to see that fight again. I remember very clearly after it happened, EVERYONE was of the opinion that Collazo had "exposed" Hatton (at least at 147 pounds) and chased him back down to 140. Heck, I even remember some people saying they thought Hatton LOST that fight. And I remember people saying the fight raised questions about Hatton's chin back then, too.

 

Exactly! The dude is smart smart smart!

People don't realize how smart he is.

De La Hoya bothered him with the body attack in the early rounds of their fight so what does FLoyd do after that: SHUTS IT OUT COMPLETELY by tieing up Oscar's arms when he got close!

People didn't realize why Floyd was doing that...and many other fighters wouldn't think of doing that.

Floyd fights Zab Judah...a hard hitting fast southpaw. How does he fight him: He walks forward behind a high hard and walks him down...the best way to fight such a style. Floyd didn't try to play master boxer with his arms down against a guy with faster hands than himself.

people don't realize how smart Floyd is and that's why he's so hard to beat!

 

This is EXACTLY why the Hatton-Mayweather fight was a foregone conclusion.
Good reminder thread.

 

i totally forgot about this fight... and to think at the time i thought ricky won easily... what the hell was i smoking.

 

:nono:

I picked Hatton, but if you go and check out my predicition in the 'Official Prediction Thread', you will see that my explicit concern was that that Hatton could not fight at 147 based almost entirely on round 12 of the Collazo fight; a fight which Billy Graham told Hatton not to take and for which he has said on numerous ocassions that he was unprepared for...

I guess he lied.

On a different note, quite frankly, how can anyone claim to have made a reasonable, logical and analytical pick for this fight WITHOUT FIRST having watched Hatton's only other foray into 147?? I can't believe there are people who are only NOW watching the last rounds of the Hatton - Collazo fight...:dunno:

MTF

 

Word

 

Alot of people thought he lost that fight. Rightly so he did lose the fight.

 

I recall having Hatton winning by a single round.

There was, however, considerable doubt in my mind as to whether he would have survived a 13th round.

 

Explains why he didn't give Collazo a rematch.

 

He didn't rematch because he went back to 140

Hindisght suggests he should have stayed there...:doh:

MTF

 

Floyd rematched Castillo to remove doubt and he had a size disadvantage in that fight too. I guess one is a real fighter th other isn't.

 

After this post, I refuse to even qualify your insane ramblings with a response...:notallthere:

 

as I said.. this fight I really had no butterflies.. I felt it was a mismatch

 

I had Hatton losing the Collazo fight ..

IMO he would have surely been KO'd had there been a 13th round ...

 

I had it level save for the 10-8 first round, which gave Hatton the W IMO. He faded badly late though, and I wouldn't argue too strenuously against him having lost by a round instead of winning by one or drawing.

He would DEFINATELY have been knocked out if the 12th round had lasted another 30 seconds. With a minute's rest, he might have survived a 13th round, but it would have cost him the W on points on my scoring.

All conjecture and opinion though :dunno:

MTF

 

Same. I had it 6-6 with the KD winning it for Hatton.

 

Really though Hatton was KD'd but it just wasn't counted ...
Collazo in the 12th KD'd Hatton and then beat the living shit out of him for the rest of the round.
If a judge would have scored that round a 10/8 for Collazo , I wouldn't have had a problem with that ...

Me personally , I didn't score round for round. I just thought Collazo should have gotten the nod by a point ...

 

:dunno:
