[kurtangle01]

Ill send you his number now

Just got the text, Ian, but all it said was begin vcard...

[Kaip]

I've lost his mobile number and the last few texts I've had off him were to my old phone.

I'll dig it out and give him a call tomorrow. Hopefully he gets a ticket.

I can't wait either. I'm being honest when I say that I'm nervous. I haven't even thought about our match tomorrow. All I'm looking forward to now is the fight.

Cracking day of sport tomorrow.

Liverpool vs Reading

and then Khan is fighting Earl which everyone seems to have forgotten about in the build up to the Hatton fight

and then it's the big one

[kurtangle01]

I'm just looking forward to it now, all this stuff makes it worse as it's still about 29 hours away (not that im counting or anything)

just got a text off bazza, he's there and having a brilliant time, had to queue for 5 hours just to get into the weigh in

Yep, that's a fair point and I was surprised that Hatton was as aggressive. I think Ricky did change his pre fight antics to accomodate Floyd but I think he only did that becaue he wanted to show Mayweather that he wasn't intimidated.

You could aim the same at Hatton though, he's not usually in peoples faces trying to start stuff. You can look at it two ways really, Floyd has pissed Hatton off and made him change his pre fight demenour like he wanted to or afterall this Floyd is wondering what task he's actually taken on and it's not just some fat brawler from England.

Wossy has just wished Hatton good luck

He wasn't his usual self in my eyes.

It didn't matter to Mayweather when he fought De La Hoya.
I don't think it'll matter to him when he fights Hatton.

Yeah I doubt he gives a ****. + Who's going to be intimidated by some bloke playing a ****ing trumpet? At the end of the day, fans can't fight for Hatton, the support might help him get himself out of any trouble but I cant see it bothers PBF. Infact, his ego is probably already buzzing at the thought of beating Hatton in a stadium full of brits.

Did you see the De La Hoya fight? The crowd was nowhere near as pro Oscar as that was pro Ricky tonight.

Floyd thought he'd seen it all in Manchester, imho, and wasn't expecting such a pro Hatton turn out tonight.

He wasn't his usual self in my eyes. I've watched Floyd for a while now and in all the build ups he's got right in his opponents faces. Something was a bit different this time. He wasn't as brash as normal.

The tabloids over here.
Sky to an extent.
and erm...talkSPORT

granted Boxing Monthly and the Ring both went for Mayweather.

Perhaps i ought to be more discerning in my reading and listening material.

On the Sky Sports website they all went for Floyd except Glenn McCrory who says that this is what Ricky was like before Tszyu and when he's like that he seems to be even more relentless than usual.

He did say though that when the fight was announced he thought it might be a step to far for Ricky.

I don't think Mayweather likes that Hatton has the likeable media attention and the crowd backing him as well. He says it won't affect but of course it will. It affects all performers no matter what field

Lennox Lewis has just been on Sky Sports News. Basicaly he said, Hatton needs to win early or Mayweather will take it but the big thing was that Lennox Lewis looked the double of Stevie Wonder.
