How will Hatton deal with the 'shoulder roll'?

you are correct about that. But HAtton doesnt have the speed to exploit that. Also Hatton has to use a lot of feints to see the openings to capitalize. But I think he is just to limited to do so

 

Jose Luis Castillo took the approach and lost 2wice. So dont think thats necessarily the answer

 

I am amazed at how many times everyone has seen Floyd fight , that no one notices that he never uses the same defense in every fight. but to answer your question I don't think he will use the shoulder roll.

 

Castillo had the speed to do it and Hatton is faster, more fluid, more agile and more nimble than Castillo.

No reason why Hatton can't go to the body.

For 8 rounds Hatton has to almost exclusively go downstairs. Even when he is countered for his troubles he has to try and be smart but keep going downstairs. He needs to be an irrepressabel rising tide.

 

pit I think he will use the shoulder roll as well as just covering up. But he wont have anything to fear b/c Ricky wont be able to exploit either defense. And Floyd will kepp the fight in the center of the ring and woop his ass period. There is 2 many adjustments that Ricky is going to ahve to make to his game to beat Floyd, and the adjustments are fundamental adjustments. Floyd is going to beat Hatton rather easy

 

true, but in reality, not favortism or bought cowardly judges, Castillo won the 1st encounter handily. If u, not the weak judges, think Floyd won, u have PBF marriage issues. Now, all u need to do is cut the ring off and take some punishment and have a do or die demeanor in the ring vs Floyd and he'll lose. A fighter needs speed, tenacity, STAMINA, a strong will with volume punching in his arsenal to defeat Floyd. Who has that? Roberto Duran. Oh, he's retired...oops! I think Hatton is pretty close...we'll see.

 

Let's not beat around the bush, Rickys game plan isn't to spend 12 rounds picking holes.

 

I dont think that he will be able to do it. He needs a jab, Castillo uses a jab when he fights. you need a jab to back Floyd up. Oscar used a jab to back floyd up. Hatton on the other hand has no jab at all. And I think that Floyd will keep the fight in the center of the ring and counter him all night

 

Castillo won the first fight handily?
Nah doggy, Floyd won it was a close fight but Floyd won. I dont remember exactly how i scored it, but Floyd did indeed win. It was a great effort by Castillo but the better man won that night

 

you are right, b/c he will be tryin 2 find floyd all night if he tries to win that way.

 

Left hook right hand, I would advise Hatton to hit that Shoulder hard and early on the inside try to see if he cant do damage to the shoulder itself.

 

Yep.

Right hand left uppercut or left uppercut/hook depending on the angle works well too.

 

He had a jab against Magee and that was a guy trying to counter him out of shoulder roll.

Hatton tweaks his approach, depending on the fight.

This jab BS for Floyd is a joke. The guy knows a dozen ways to neutralise a jab.

 

Kind of the way Byrd would hit Evander in the Shoulder or even Vitali or hell even when Oscar used his jab against Floyd in the midd rounds he landed to the shoulder with it and it was working, if Hatton does that early and effectively meaning a stiff get the **** off of me jab he can do damage to that rotator cuff taking away teh jab and hook of Floyd.

The jab was working for Oscar, he popped floyd hed back a couple times with the jab. But you are right he does find a way to neutralize it, hey it was jsut another strategy that Hatton could have tried.
