Mayweather vs. Hatton

*I know, I know it's not a clip of the fight, but youtube took down alot of the uploads from the actual fight :(

I’m really not into the sport of boxing, BUT I must watch every Floyd Mayweather, or shall I say “Money May” fight!! I didn’t think that any match could top the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight back in May, but the Mayweather/Hatton match was some serious ish!!

So back in April/May, HBO had the series, 24/7: De La Hoya vs. Mayweather, which is a reality show that followed the boxers around (from training, to talking ish, to just living life). This time around, HBO decided to give the fans 24/7: Mayweather vs. Hatton. The series makes you appreciate and respect the rigorous sport of boxing. Like the last time around, the series is what got me hyped up for the main event!! This show is one of the best ideas ever. I am extremely surprised that HBO did not package the 24/7: De La Hoya vs. Mayweather and fight into a DVD. I would buy a copy just to see Floyd Mayweather work out! Have you peeped that sexy body body? Did you see the way he does those crunches, and then stands up at the end? Things that make me shake my head and say umph….

Last night, some friends and I went to a local sports bar to see the main event, Mayweather vs. Hatton. Don’t know why, but I was somewhat nervous for Mayweather. He talks so much ish, I would just hate to see his little-sexy-milk chocolate-self lose. He had me on the edge of my seat in the first couple of rounds when he was stumbling a bit. And don’t let me mention when Hatton dang near threw Money May through the ropes. A girl almost has a heart attack!! One of my friends called me during about the 4th or 5th round to see if it was too late for them to come to the bar. I told them not to come out because it looked like Mayweather was not going to make it much longer. It just seemed like it was a really really close fight and it was hard to tell if he had the edge. Man, was I ever wrong about Mayweather not going to make it!! Proceed to round 10!! Mayweather knocks Hatton down. Dude gets up when the ref counts to 8. Don’t know what he did that for, because Mayweather knocked him right back down. This is probably one of the best fights ever!! It was worth every cent of the fans’ money because it wasn’t a quick fight and the score was almost equal (Mayweather was up by 2 points) before the knockout. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, you must peep it for yourself when HBO gives us the repeats especially since the clips from yesterday have been getting taken off of youtube!!
