What a great fight. Three cheers for Michigan native Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (Grand Rapids)!
My first time seeing Hatton fight and I thought for sure he was gonna take this one. I’d love to see a rematch.
Is the MGM Grand in Detroit setup to host events like boxing matches? If so, that would be awesome! |

B.S. - the fight looked fixed. Why would Hatton's corner toss in the towel so soon? He had rounds left in him.
MGM Grand Detroit has capacity to host dog fights, maybe. |

That last punch from Mayweather caused a delayed reaction on Hatton's part.
It took him a moment to realize that he was about to go down...for the count. |

Britons Can't fight (unless they are trained by Emmanuel Steward!) Anyone remember Frank Bruno v. Mike Tyson?
When Bruno emerged from his locker room he looked like he was gonna eat Tyson and spit him out. A few rounds later Bruno is on the ground like a little girl. |

Tyson was ALWAYS hungrier to whoop some ass than the majority of his opponents. Bruno didn't have a chance: 5th round KO! |

Stoopid thing to say.
I guess he hasn't fought the one "white man" who will kick his ass yet. |

Little flap in the Las Vegas papers over the Brit fans booing our National Anthem before the fight started.
Well, then I guess it's all right for me to say the Queen is looking a bit pudgy, lately. |

"MGM Grand Detroit has capacity to host dog fights, maybe." then "explain."
MGM-Detroit is set up for gaming with space for meetings (e.g. trade shows). Arena-like space on the scale of blue-chip Las Vegas casinos is not (yet?) found among Detroit's offerings. We'll see business meetings and vendor displays, but international competition cannot be accommodated. |

P.S. If that fight was not fixed then Hatton's corner guys take the cake for having nerves of jello. |

tons of celebs there, who says boxing is dying at the hands of mixed martial arts?
It was for me, guess I should pay attention again. |
