Ricky's in shape, but looking at footage of his training, he isn't the fighter he once was. His punches look a bit slower, lacking the same pop, and his footwork looks sluggish. Given his age and the abuse he put his body through, that's no surprise, but I'm glad that he's finally acknowledged that he never paid much attention to the defensive side of his game and that it cost him big time. He genuinely thought he could just bully whoever he was in there with. So I expect to see a different Ricky in there, older and wiser, more conscious of his defensive duties. Hard to say how it'll work out for him. I highly doubt he'll be knocked out, but a loss on the cards is a possibility.
