Anyone see the fight on Saturday night/Sunday morning?

Any Foum Fight Fans?

I am very much so. Used to box above the Half Moon in Herne Hill when I was lad but unfortunately I missed it. Terrific result for Hatton. Let's hope he gets to bash up Floyd Mayweather next.

Ahhh a gym above a pub....sounds like a good deal! Is it still there? I quite fancy learning how to throw the odd jab jab cross combo.

I managed to stay up till some ungodly hour to catch it and I'm glad I did. An absolute cracker.

Mayweather would be a massive fight but I wonder if, with that one, Hatton may just have bitten off more than he could chew.

Edit: Indeed the gym above the Blue Moon still exists. Clinton McKenzie Boxercise

Err..it's the Half Moon. When I went there as a youngster it was the Brixton & District Boxing Club that was run upstairs above the pub. Never been fitter than in those days. Anyway, all ages can go. I friend of mine still does to keep in shape and indeed, yes it is run by the McKenzie brothers Duke and Clinton.

The boy done good, but I think if he fights Mayweather if will get found out. Mayweather is a lot lot lot better than anyone!

Sorry, Half Moon. I was clearly thinking about Hatton's theme song!

Yeah! A complete contrast in styles but we'll see if it happens and I hope it does.
