Hatton doesnt see the left hook coming from the southpaw stance. Judah may have a small heart , but he does have a great left hook. Judah in two.
Both have a Glass Jaw but Judah has no Heart and is mentally fragile. I never understood why people were so high on Judah he lost every big fight he was in but Spinks. Ricky 'Hit & Hold' Hatton probably takes this one.
No brawler is going to beat Judah especially a PRIME Judah . You put a brawler in front of Zab , that poor soul is going to recieve a beatdown . Too much handspeed and movement for Hatton to deal with BTW . Judah breaks him down and gets him out there in the 6th .
Fight night Champion I KO'ed Judah with Hatton in 2 Rounds counter right hand cross off the ropes best KO i ever had in the game.
Laying gloves on Zab would have been a very dificult task for Hatton. Ko? I don't know but UD or KO Zab would have won.
I Think Zab was a great "Ön Top" fighter...but he, for me, was something of a mental Sprinter, put him in a painful marathon type of fight and his enthusiasm for the task can start to wane...we have seen it more than once, Ricky Hatton, perhaps more "Ïndustrial" did display a tanacity to endure when going got tough, and sometimes is given little credit for the educated elements he brought to that Industrial approach, i think Ricky would be prepared, perhaps expecting to lose the first few rounds, to the fast stepping Zab, but what happens when the Hatton Scissor-Step starts to deny Zab composer time...Those left hooks start to find the body.....who would the gathering momentum lay with... If the fight was in the UK i have little doubt that a roared on Hatton surprises Zab with his "Ëducated" pressure and comes out a clear winner..and if he can find that chin a few times with the type of triple left hook he terminated Mike Stewart with Zab might be lucky to hear the final bell... In the US..i'd still fancy Hatton...with Zab perhaps a bit more stubborn in what could look like a Boldomir fight re-run, I think Ricky was prepared to go through hell to gain the win, i never felt the same way about Zab, as naturally gifted as he was (is)
If anyone is going to throw in the towel , its going to be Hattons team . Hatton is a knockout waiting to happen in this fight . The way he lounges in forward , face out in the air plus the way Zab is known for timing his opponents coming in with his signature left . Its well known Ricky has a bad history when it comes to left hands . Manny's left LITERALLY put him to sleep . Floyds left sent his head crashing into the turnbuckle . Hattons laid out on the canvas is just the envitable result .
Two things can happen: A) zab catches ricky rushing in and bye ricky B) Ricky mauls him to submission Triangle theory time, ricky tko kostya, kostya ktfo zab
