KO’d Hatton

Saturday night in Las Vegas a showdown of the decade, or at least in my opinion, took place between two of boxing’s finest.  Floyd “Money” Mayweather took on Ricky “Hitman” Hatton in the welterweight championship.  Hatton the englishman from Manchester, England was the underdog in this one, but attracted much attention especially those in England.  Approximately 20,000 Brits fled to the MGM Arena to help cheer on Hatton.  Their cheering didn’t do much good in the actaul fight. Mayweather pretty much dominated Hatton from the start.  The fight went on to the 10th round when Hatton was knocked out.  This is Hatton’s first loss, 41-0 heading into the match, now 41-1. Mayweather  improved to 39-0.
