Hatton fight - Opinions

Hatton was rocked another few punches like that and he would have been on his backside. The lace up bought him some breathng space.

Yes Bhops was worse cus unless he had lympoedema bollacks there was no way that hit him in the privates. He was looking to get points knocked off JC but it backfired as everyone knew he was acting and the crowd who were bored with his hugging began to boo him.

 

Judah has power and more speed In his hooks than Juan, Hatton should stay away from Judah.

 

He will stay clear, that why he never gets mentioned by the Hattons and instead the likes of Malignaggi and Lacanzo are trumpeted as greats by Ray Hatton.

 

Judah is the worst opponent you could possibly find for Hatton. Look how bad he is against southpaws, Collazo and Magee. He was put on his arse by the latter. Then you consider the speed of Judah's counters, which Hatton is susceptible to, and the KO power he has and its good night

Overall, he gets KTFO early

 

Hatton's chance of getting knocked out in the first 6 is significant

He got shaken a bit last night, I don't know whether he is more susceptible to punches these days or whether it was just a good shot or two. What is clear, is Judah has the sort of speed and power he won't see coming on those shots, not exactly good omens...

 

Consider that this was a non-title fight against someone picked because he had very little chance of winning. I'm not trying to take away from Hatton but to say he was as good as when he beat Zoo is silly.

 

Best 140 fighter there is,i think me you and 99.9% of boxers would settle for that in a career.If he moved up and lost to Cotto is there any shame in that?.I think he would beat Judah but whether he did or he didnt so what.Hatton is and has been one of Britains best fighters in the last 10 years.He is exciting and extremley likeable and has been a credit to British sport.So what if there are a couple of fighters in and around his weight that would beat him!Is that grounds for some of the ridiculous knowledgless shite that is posted about him on here?Answer no.Pathetic jealous rants off armchair experts is all they are.I notice all the haters watched the fight also .If i hate somebody ie Man Unit*d i just dont watch them.So if you watch him you either secretley like him or you are very sad men sitting there wanting your own countryman to lose.Tossers

 

Judah would certainly spell trouble, no doubt.

 

He offered the fight to Hatton numerous times at 140 in 2005 and 2006, the Hattons actually wanted the fight at 147 according to someone at Sports Network

 

When asked about this a while ago PBF said the fight was at 147 because Hatton didn't want his "title" to be on the line.

 

Yes I remember that, not sure which period PBF was referring too. I dont think PBF wants to go back down to 140 now because he doesnt like weight draining like Hatton does. Hatton weighs more on fight night and more at his walk around weight

 

Oh I thought Hatton looked near his best last night. Lazcanno was a decent gatekeeper level. I enjoyed Ricky's performance but Lazcanno was chosen to look good

 

obviously, an infact they started playing the 'not me weight' excuse right after the PBF loss. Hatton turned down the fight at 140 more than once when it was offered to him.

a couple of things from the fight

1. the whole thing about Hatton's stamina decline was overplayed, maybe even made up. He's not looked as overwhelming because he's not fighting WBU tin cans any more.
2. His chin is still not the best and if the likes of Lazcano and Collazo have him in trouble then he'll be banjoed by a guy with mustard on his shots, Torres might even do it. All the top dogs at 147 much him.
