Bradford fight fans should not be too downcast at Ricky Hatton's defeat by the phenomenal Floyd Mayweather Jnr.

For one thing, the Hitman held his own for the first half of the contest, and was actually ahead on the scorecard of American pay-per-view channel HBO after six rounds, while Sky's ringside commentator Jim Watt had the Hitman just one point down.

It also opens the door for a potential Battle of Britain super-fight with Bradford's own WBC light-welterweight champion Junior Witter.
