Hatton more or less threw his face at mayweather's gloves.
His defence was so poor and wreckless.
No surprise he got knocked out going up against the best 2 in tne wirld.

Yeah I remember shouting at my TV at the time. He assumed Mayweather didn't hit hard enough to hurt him on the way in.

Clubber Lang? You can get those Mr T mohawks at fancy dress shops...

Isn't it going to be hard to drink at this party if everyone is wearing gloves?

You'll have to upload those you've done yourself mate!would love to see them.

it's been brilliant taking the gloves to fights, even tweeted Natasha Jonas before Froch v Bute and she told me where she was sitting so i could get a glove signed. Lovely girl and stunning in person

I've got an old boxing news from the war and some boxing news covering tyson for xmas so they'll be going up on the wall soon. So my older collection will build too hopefully.

Really want to get my hands on some fight worn stuff though that would be awesome, remember seeing some Muhammad Ali hand wraps in Vegas years ago which i could probably have just about afforded at a push always going to regret not getting them i reckon they're prob worth 2 or 3 times as much already.

May seem to be a good month of boxing. As well as Paqman- Mayweather & GGG- Willie Monroe, Kevin Mitchell and Lee Selby fighting for world titles in London on May 30th.

Mitchell v Jorge Linares for the WBC world lightweight title and Selby takes on undefeated Russian Evgveny Gradovich for the IBF featherweight title.

Anthony Joshua also in action against Kevin Johnson.

Oh and here's the old glove framed.....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume Kevin Johnson will have boxed before, unlike the last few opponents?

to be fair, kingpin is a very durable guy, quite slick and is a master at staying out of trouble.....just to start getting some rounds under his belt is a good idea starting now i reckon...

Yeah, could/should be a decent challenge for AJ. He has lost his last 3 fights though, to Manuel Charr, Chisora and Christian Hammer.

....but never been stopped!!...yet....ok, vitali took every single round when taking johnson's unbeaten record 6 or 7 years ago but kingpin is a member of a very small club in that he heard the final bell with an opponent named klitschko!!
