My impression? Floyd dominated. It's weird because when I saw the fight live (didn't score) I thought Hatton had won a couple of rounds but Floyd was the CLEARLY ahead at the time of stoppage. But when I re-watched it to score here, I didn't see Hitman winning a single round. Understand to, Floyd is a great professional. He might trash talk and put his opponent down prior to the fight, but afterwards unless he perceived ill will from his opponent, he will be as classy a professional as there is and I'm no Floyd fan but I'm no hater either. Watch the post-fight conference after Floyd KO'd Hatton, he was very gracious saying how Hatton is going to be the greatest British boxing promoter after he retires and even telling people to go buy some Hitman gear.
I personally thought round 3 was split, round 5 was Hatton's and round 7 was split.
All judges gave Hatton round 5 and I think one gave him round 3.
Might have been one other round in the mix that was close to 50/50, I'd have to watch again.
I take that back. I looked up my scorecard here and I gave him 3 rounds. 2,3,5. I must have confused this one with another Floyd fight.
I think hatton threateaned to take control of the fight at the beginning without necessarily winning the early rounds, however Floyd stood in there and proved to be physical. Then he started moving and it was over
