I said on here that Hatton just can't work at Welter. His style is a bullying kind, and he was up against a full blown welterweight in there, and the fitness was not. In hindsight he should've dropped to domestic level, give Witter that fight.
Chaps, look at the big picture: Should he have come back? No. But he did so we (high percentage) wished he did well cos he's a ledge. Did anyone, ANYONE, expect him to even get close to what he was at 29? No. Did we expect him to be Senchenko? Yes. And then 'progress' to a half decent fighter. Thankfully he didn't win, say, on points, then he could have got seriously hurt fighting at the next level. Ricky - love you man - you've cleared your head of all the crap - go train some kids.
Fair call its been seen time and again Mcguigan was the same against mcdonnell, just not the same fighter You cant pack up at 30 and come back years later, not at these weights, unless you are supremely skilled anyway Young mans game
No you didn't you just had the same worries and thought's that most of us had about a fighter coming back from a 3 year layoff...
" Grow up and be a man now " ??? Come on... don't ya think ya could of chosen better words ??? That sentence you typed was like something you would say to a teenage nephew who had done a little time ! lol Dont think Ricky needs to grow up, I just think that he picked the wrong first opponent when Sky dropped Hatton Promotions, he coulda picked an easier foe and got his stable televised
yeah the morales fight the other week gave me a foreboding. and morales was a much better fighter than ricky ever was. never tends to end well does it.
the interbview was sad.as otrhers have mentioned i fear for his mental state after that on the positive side i got 55/1 on betfair on round 9 ko. (also backed 8 and 10 as i could see the fight happening as it did
A thank you to all the nationalistic Hatton fans that backed their guy to win at the bookies. $$$ It was a sad way to go out and after my initial celebrating, I did feel sorry for Hatton.
