    Hatton vs Collazo was an entertaining fight, but Ricky very nearly paid the penalty for eating takeaways during his training camp and having a full english breakfast on the morning of the fight. I scored it 114-112, Hatton 7-5, with a 10-8 in the 1st for Hatton, and 10-8 in the 12th for Collazo.

    The Urango fight was decent for three rounds, then turned into a stinker, but was still a schooling.

    Castillo has been debated at length, so I will go no further. Ditto Mayweather.

    Hatton battered Lazcano from pillar to post, but was shook a couple of times, though hardly in danger of being taken out. By the end of the fight Lazcano was able to telegraph the left to the ribcage, and got his elbows down just in time on about five occasions.

    The Urango fight was one of the worst I've ever seen. Hatton looked slick for the first 5 rounds and I was impressed with his boxing. But then Urango lands one good body punch and the fight turns into the worst hugfest since Ruiz vs Ruiz.

    Hatton and his trainer should be ashamed for putting on such a display when fans had travelled across the atlantic and across america and paid a fortune to see him fight.

    At times Hatton didn't even try to punch first, he just went for a clinch.

    This is the fight that turned me off Hatton for good

    Urango wasn't dangerous to Hatton. Hatton outboxed him easily for the first 5 rounds, it wasnt even competitive. But the moment had felt a punch he adopted an horrific safety first approach that makes Floyd's pot shotting against Baldomir look like a Spartan last stand.

    you could tell those body shots he took around the fifth really hurt hatton . i'm not disagreeing with you as i said it was a **** fight. i just wouldn't let one poor performance put me off a fighter for life.

    I feel asleep watching the Urango fight it was just awful like the Collazo one before it.

    He's not been the same since Tszyu.

    i'd agree that was easily his best performance but the collazo fight i thought was a good scrap.

    this was juat Hatton stinking the joint out again. We've seen Urango in other fights, exciting fights. It was Hatton and his sleep-enducing style that caused the probem again....the amazing thing is he always goes on about how he's great value to watch. The man is badly deluded.
