MAYWEATHER AND HATTON PICK WINNER OF SATURDAY NIGHT’S MEGA-FIGHT BETWEEN MIGUEL COTTO AND SHANE MOSLEY SATURDAY AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
LIVE ON HBO PAY-PER-VIEW
NEW YORK, NY (November 6, 2007 ) . . . With “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather and Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton heavily entrenched in preparations for their own welterweight championship showdown December 8, both undefeated fighters took the time to weigh in on the welterweight mega-contest between their division rivals Miguel Cotto and Sugar Shane Mosley this Saturday, November 10th at the “Mecca of Boxing,” Madison Square Garden. The 12-round world welterweight title fight will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
Mayweather, 38-0 (24 KOs), is the reigning world and Ring Magazine welterweight champion. Considered the pound-for-pound best in the sport today, he expects a Mosley victory.
“I see it as an easy fight for Shane and I predict an early KO,” Mayweather predicted.
Hatton, 43-0 (31 KOs), a multi-division champion and universally recognized world junior welterweight champion, agreed with his upcoming opponent.
” I think Shane Mosley will win because he will cause Cotto problems with his speed and movement. Last time out, Cotto looked strong but didn’t carry the same finesse at welterweight as in previous fights. He looked a little crude against Judah. Cotto will need more finesse against Mosley.”
“UNDEFEATED” — World welterweight champion ” Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather will meet British icon, Ring Magazine and world junior welterweight champion Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton for the world welterweight championship Saturday, Dec. 8 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
