I'm not much of a boxing fan, but this one has stoked my interest.

I guess not.

Pretty classy performance by Mayweather. Hatton was able to hang in there for a while, but Mayweather's class showed in the end. No real contest.

Best boxer name ever: Evander Holyfield.

I hate boxing - it turns my stomach to see 2 men trying to hurt each other . It should be banned.

Banned? I don't know about that. I see just as much fighting, if not more in professional hockey and rugby. When it comes down to it, the rules are very strict in boxing. It's hardly anything like the UFC fighting championships they have on PPV. I still don't get the appeal, but it's clearly lasted this long for a reason.

Like I said I'm not a huge fan, but I do like to watch the occasional fight. My grandfather was boxing mad. He used to sit in his living room smoking stinky cigars and watching the fights on the Mexican channels on his giant console TV.

There is something pure and brutally poetic about it when two skilled fighters go up against each other. My main complaints are that there is too much clutching and grabbing going on and that there is no single unified organization in control of the sport, making it impossible to keep track of which fighters hold which belts.

My wife has no time for it. My son, perhaps unsurprisingly, seems fascinated by the whole thing.
