How will Hatton deal with the 'shoulder roll'?

Only thing FLoyd does change up his defense when he fights, sometimes he might jsut cover up, sometimes he does the shoulder roll, sometimes he does both. Against Zab he used both, I think Floyd is going to give HAtton different looks. I do agree with the strategy you are stating, but HAtton is going to have to use a lot feints as well. If he doesnt feint be4 he throws his shots he can b more effective. B/c floyd moves his right hand to the side he thinks the punches are comin, so the best way to potentially land a good shot is to feint to kind of sike him out, at least thats what my trainer told me. And it seems logical

 

He will have to feint anyways, he is the shorter man, he is going to have to use feints to get anything off, and that Jab to the shoulder area he will have to double it but it will be there Floyd leaves his left hand down low, I see in this fight a Floyd Mayweather elbow cutting Hatton stopping the fight on the accidental foul.

 

2 b honest Bazooka, I think Floyd is going to str8 up and down outclass Hatton, Floyd has too much skill, and he is smart enough to utilize all his skill evrytie he fights. I think Floyd will keep the fight in the center of the ring, and basically jab and left hook him to death. throw a coupple one 2's. I also agree that I think the fight will stop early, but not b/c of an accidental foul. I think floyd will open Hatton up from landed too many shots on him. Hatton bruises easy, thats just how I see it going IMO

 

Oscar's always been a good body puncher, but most of the punches he landed to the body on Floyd were arm punches (or low/borderline).

 

He did land good body shots though in that fight and IMO DLH hits harder than Hatton, everybody is making a big deal out of Ricky stopping Castillo, nobody is considering that maybe Castillo was really done by the time Ricky got him.
its truely pathetic and insane to think that Ricky will beat Floyd because of what he did against Castillo, we dont know if that Corrales fight took something out of Castillo it very well could have plus the move up in weight might not have been such a great idea for the aging Castillo but nobody wants to consider those issues they just want to talk **** as if Ricky has this fight in the books.
Mark my words when this fight takes place Ricky is going to get beat the **** up, Floyd is going to out think out move out hustle and out score on Hatton all night long and I wouldnt be shocked to see Ricky quit on his stool that is how bad this is going to get.
Yeah Ricky is an aggressor but that is it, he doesnt have anything else that he can add to his game for this fight, and Floyd has made a career off of aggressors like Hatton. The only difference here is that Floyd gets to deliver a Loss on that record of Hattons and nobody can say **** because Ricky is still young.
the way I look at it, Ricky should have stayed away from a fight with Mayweather and should have looked for a fight against Judah or someone else Mayweather is suicide.

 

Yeah, maybe Hatton being Benn and Mayweather being Watson.

 

Hatton has to be real fit and make Floyd fight his pace o to the body and be a rythym breaker, fighting off tempo

 

I was half-joking.

I give Ricky a 30% chance of winning.

I can see a scenario similar to Watson-Benn though, where Floyd blocks (and slips) most of Hatton's shots and counters him silly.

 

Two problems with this one Hatton doesn't have Cotto's power and two PBF isn't Branco.

 

It was working a bit for Oscar, he landed some telling jabs rather than none stop. Oscar is rangy and has a very heavy jab given that he is punching from his strong side.

It is not a given that a jab beats Floyd nor Ricky Hatton jabbing beats Floyd.

Agreed, it is just another strategy. A good pumping jump would serve to push him back. Waste less energy getting him to the ropes or in a corner. The odd one may snap his head back. It has its good points.

My main point is one punch isn't suddenly going to beat Floyd or make it easy. Using a jab is about 2% of what needs to be done to be competative and beat Mayweather.

 

Watson was going through some SERIOUS hurt!

 

DLH tried it, and look what it got him :yep
