You've all heard the news by now. Floyd Mayweather beat Ricky Hatton after going for ten rounds.
I am not normally too keen on boxing. I find two men going at each other trying to punch the daylights out of each other not that appealing, and sometimes even stomach-churning. But some contests are just very attention-grabbing, and such was the Mayweather-Hatton fight. Hatton, who hails from Manchester, England, has been something of an inspiration for British boxing, as attested by the thousands of British supporters in the MGM Grand Arena.
It was an exciting bout, with Hatton seeming to hold his own for 5 rounds, but from round six Mayweather started to turn the tables, and it was pretty much downhill for Hatton from then on. But bravely he fought on.
The American, unbeaten in 39 fights, graciously described Hatton as "one hell of a champion".
