    Ghost by close UD.

    I think he'll plant his feet and throw the uppercut a little bit to often. His skill should see him through, but it'll be a rough fight. Aydin will bank on being the bigger guy, and make it rugid as a result.

    Think I'm in the ball park?


    (I love watching RG fight, but I wish he'd stopped off at 140 first. A guilty pleasure would be him vs Judah.)

    He had Floyd stumbling back early on the back move and that tells us something.

    Very good, one of his strongest attributes.

    Very good on the front foot when applying pressure.

    Hatton had very good footwork. He had quick feet, and not just mindless moving around, like an Amir Khan. There was purpose to his footwork and where he moved.

    Excellant, He had this signature move the "Scissor Step" which meant he could evade an attack then spring straight back on to the opponent, even fast moving boxers got little rest, this Educated Pressure was certainly in evidence on his way up, as we know if its hard getting to the top, its certainly harder staying there...a lack of discipline between fights..and perhaps picking a wrong replacement trainer does not help. but yes top class footwork.

    LOL

    There's literally nothing else to talk up about Ricky "B-level" Hatton, so brittards bust nuts over his footwork. Do you guys even watch boxing? His footwork is good, but it's nothing incredible, and hardly worth talking about.

    Brittards partake in a decade long build up of one of their most cherished fighters ever, fly 10,000 of themselves over to the US to watch him get his 0 taken and his ass tapped by an elite fighter.

    The takeaway from all this?

    Ricky had pretty good footwork! That sure helped his complete lack of defense and boxing skill.

    Wow.

    I was never a fan of Hatton or his style, but I think his footwork was very good. He was fast on his feet and used his footwork to get in and our of range effectively
