I think white is going to start the fight preemptively with a hane.

I think the hane at a would be an overplay (B just cuts), so I would simply play W1, leaving a and b as miai. If B cuts and captures four stones, W gets to squeeze. If B extends, W can connect, then regard W1 as a forcing move, giving up two stones if B later cuts them off. This would still be a difficult fight for W, but it looks playable.

Hmm, I thought that black could not cut immediately after the hane, making the fight more interesting. However, I may have misread...

My first thought: this is a pro game?! I can't say I know that this move is bad, but the shape is so ugly.

Some are born ugly, some achieve ugliness, some have ugliness thrust upon them.

$$Wcm56
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm56 Maybe something like this, to preserve connection and deny eyespace? Seems like an odd space, but it might work?

Greed, wanting all of the eyespace for myself... After just watching Razorbrain's video on greed and thoughtlessness, I wonder if perhaps I should have stuck with the simpler answer...

$$Bcm57
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm57 My personal instinct is to preserve the connection while getting a bit out, but it seems awfully passive...
