    I don't think Hatton could have taken too many right hands from KT. The problem is that he landed so few of them during the fight, as some of you guys have already pointed out. As a Tszyu fan it was horrifying to watch, but a great performance by Rick. Now that I think about it, I don't know whether Kostya even landed one solid vintage right hand from long range.

    Collazo fight. Watched it, wasn't impressed with Hatton at all. He did seem to get wobbled and his activity wasn't that great. Thing is, Collazo was even less active. I think the only reason Collazo lost that fight was because he seemed like a faulty socket, only turning on every couple of moments in a round.

    I guess we will see how this turns out.. I don't know what type of Hatton will show up.. The guy that crowded Tszyu and basically submitted him with wrestling and battering, or the guy that looked like absolute **** against Collazo.

    Tszyu certainly landed some hard rights during the Hatton fight as I recall. During the middle rounds and right at the start of every round he was throwing them. Give Hatton some credit he proved his durability that night.

    Indeed he was wobbled severely against Collazo in the last round and generally looked awful throughout the fight but he did win it. Most fighters have a few bad nights during their career and that was certainly the worst performance of his career.

    The problem with Mayweather will be accumulation of punches and indeed tyhe shots Hatton doesn't see coming.

    I hope he lives up to his words and just try to ruogh up PBF without any respect.

    I always thought PBF is not a serious puncher but all his opponents seem to start respecting his power after a few rounds.

    Agreed. If Floyd was more offensively minded he would have a lot of knockouts. With even a little pop those crisp accurate shots that you dont see coming hurt!

    i am die hard, and i scored it a draw, colllazo should stil have his belt.

    it was a very close fight, the flash KD in the first round saved hatton imo.

    Hatton will be saying "Where did that punch come from."

    Believe it or not, he has a point when he's referring to being hurt with the one shot but he's also clearly skipping other matters such as having chances to land, to avoid getting hit, to win rounds... He's not going to be in there to prove he can take a shot and break through Mayweather's punches like he's gonna take him outa there with the first punches he lands on him. Delusional stuff for Ricky, this Tszyu talk.
