Mayweather Defeats Hatton in Title Fight


Floyd Mayweather Jr has defeated Great Britain's Ricky Hatton in the 10th round of their World Boxing Council welterweight title fight in Las Vegas this saturday.

"Pretty Boy Floyd" Mayweather was far ahead, easily outboxing the Briton whose rabid fans filled the MGM Grand Garden and turned the entire city into an electric place.

Mayweather knocked Hatton down twice in the 10th. He landed a crushing left hook in the corner that landed on the jaw. Hatton went head first into the corner pad and then was down. He was in serious jeopardy of not making it up.
He arose and Mayweather attacked. He landed two lefts and a right and Hatton was down again.

As Hatton fell, his corner threw in the towel and referee Joe Cortez waved it off.

Mayweather was never in trouble and his vastly superior skills made it a no contest.
