Didn't see the fight , but i was more interested in the fight before that , between Soto and Gaudet. I have seen Gaudet fight a few times here ( he's from Quebec ), and i was really hoping he would surprise Soto. It didn't happen , but i think he left a good impression! Kinda sucks when the main fight is so short , i feel bad for those who pay the big price , only to see the fight last a round and a half!

Didn't see the fight but sadly as a Brit, I think Hatton's had his day. I actually thought his carrer was on the rocks when he lost to Mayweather.

I think it's safe to say Hatton is one of the most overrated fighters to come along in a long, long time. Pacquiao is just in another class. It's very impressive how he's been able to add so much weight while maintaining all that speed. For a man his size, his power is just remarkable. I love Pretty Boy Floyd- but I quickly becoming a huge Pacquiao fan. That should be a great fight, but I think Manny's power takes over in that one too.

I did, all 300 seconds of it..or however long it lasted.. I dont so much think Hatton is overrated, but he doesnt match well with puncher-boxer savants like Mayweahter and Pacquiao. I am very much looking forward to a possible Mayweahter/Pacquiao match-up. But Mayweather has to get by Jaun Manuel Marquez this summer first to get a shot at Pacquiao, and that isnt going to be easy. Marquez has a draw and a narrow split decison loss in his two fights with Pac-man. Its going to be the toughest fight Pretty Boy has ever had.

I have to disagree. When he's fought the best, his best just wasn't good enough. Mayweather and Manny flat-out mopped the floor with him. Sad to say, because I really wanted him to be the real deal. Love the guy as a person, he's just not what the hype said he would be.

Hatton needs to get inside to be effective, and with Pacquiaos and Mayweathers speed and boxing skills he was not able to do that, so he became a punching bag. But you put him in their with a brawler type (like Arturo Giatti for example) it would be a different fight and hatton would probably be competitive.

Yeah, I agree with that. But that doesn't change the fact he's been over-hyped. I mean, if every fighter had the ability to pick and choose to only fight a guy because it fit his style, they'd all be great fighters. The true mark is the ability to adjust and the ability to hang with the best pound for pound fighters out there.

Mayweather and Pacquiao have been called the best pound for pound fighter- and I think that's rightly so. People also tried putting Hatton into the best pound for pound dicussion and I don't think the guy has ever done anything to deserve that. When he's fought the best pound for pound, he was out matched in speed and power (and even the ability to take a punch). Again, I like the Hitman, I just think he's been built up way too much. Just my 2 cents.

I can agree with that side of the argument. But i dont think Hatton is a bad figther in any way. I still think he is in the top 5-10 in his weight class.

Mayweather has to fight Marquez now. He really shouldn't fight Pacquiao but whatever... if the price is right I guess.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
