It was a massive weekend of sport the other week with football, the big boxing matches and Sports Personality of the year. United won which of course was great!! 
However the main event of the weekend was the boxing.
First Amir Khan players on Saturday evening and won in about 72 seconds!! Then in the early hours of Sunday morning it was Ricky Hatton v Mayweather. The match was on at aroudn 5am in the end. I was planning on going to sleep then getting up but I ended up staying up all the night. Hatton was outclassed really but he did well. I read somewhere that Mayweather had a 7 inch better reach than Hatton!! It just showed that he maybe shouldnt have gone up a class – however what do I know!!
One thing about the boxing and everything – the atmosphere was great. Hatton had amazing support. However it was disgraceful and just embarassing the English Hatton fans booing the US anthem. What was that!!! Thats real nice and clever – boo the national anthem of the country you are in!!! I know they didnt like Mayweather but that no excuse!
The next day I normally play football but it was cancelled – it did mean I could sleep some more!! In the evening it was Sports Personality of the year and Joe Calzaghe won. It was a bit of a surprise but I am happy he won. He should have won last year really. He is undefeated in 44 matches. An amazing record. The expectant winner ended in 2nd place – Lewis Hamilton. It would have been typical of England in that someone who has not won anything (but admittedly did very well) would have won. Ricky Hatton was 3rd.
