Advice:
Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton (W43-L0-D0) finally gets his chance this Saturday evening, to snatch outright glory from "Supposed" pound-for-pound number one "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather (W39-L0-D0).

Mayweather may be the heavier man by a few pounds, as clearly stated by boxing guru Frank Warren but will feel like he has been runover by a steamtrain after "The Hitman" gets a hold of him.

Hatton was in devestating form in his last bout where he stopped a totally outclassed Jose Luis Castillo (W56-L8-D1) in four brutal rounds some six months ago. Something that Bodog must have forgotten in their pricing of the fight !!

Mayweather fought the same Mexican twice and was unable to get anywhere near finishing his man off either time. Castillo went 24 rounds with "The Pretty Boy", where as our boy destroyed him.

The American has been really noisy in public throwing jibes and insults at a very controlled Hatton, but the last thing shown between the two fighters was Hatton drawing his finger across his throat as if to threaten his taller rival that he would slice his throat. Mayweather finally looked intimidated.....

And so he should be. He was lucky in some opinions to get the nod over Oscar De La Hoya in his last outing, and has been flirting with his fitness by appearing on a ballroom dancing reallity shows in the States in the run-up to the bout !!

Does he really think Hatton is that much of a bum that he can act like that !! Come Saturday evening the so called "Pretty Boy" will be taught a boxing lesson in who is toughest AND who is fittest.....

Expect Hatton to go out all guns blazing in what is expected to be the best fight of the year. The Mancunian has been in confdent mood all week and will not hear of defeat. Neither will we !!

His all-out aggressive style and brutal bodyshots will begin to take effect around the midway mark, and in our opinion is very good value to stop his man at around the 6.00 mark.

We have chosen though to just take a $200 hit of the 2.850 on offer at Bodog about Hatton bringing the crown back home to Blighty. Those without an account can grab yourselves a 10% Deposit Bonus on top which makes the offer & Hatton's price far more attractive.

Follow the midweek words of "Iron" Mike Tyson and jump on Hatton to finally shut the ever-moving mouth of Mayweather. Legends such as Tyson are usually wise-old-owls so his prediction of a Hatton victory has to be taken very seriously.

Be serious, take his advice as well as ours. Hatton IS the real deal !!
