First of all let me start of by saying i respect certain qualities in Ricky Hatton....he takes on anyone, trains his ass off.....hes a pressure agressive fighter....but Man all that holding and clincning makes me nautious, if he stood there bobd and weaved, used more defense instead of all the wrestling, id be sold on him and be a big fan..... Jab, hold....hook hold....hook hold wrestle....whats up with that style??unless his opponents are training for constatnly getting held, he has an advantage i think......Hatton does have some skills, hes no tomato can...not at all..but that style is not only ugly, ...FUGLY! The ref does not always break the holding, because Hatton lets go...hits and holds again...unlike John Ruiz...who holds and typically keeps holding....Hatton holds, walks you back...lets go, Immediately hits, then holds again....becasue there are gaps in the holding and its not constant (like Ruiz), the ref does not break the action as often as in the Ruiz fight.....i feel that the fighter like hatton(who is doing the holding) has an advantage for a few reasons, because most fighters do not train for being constantly held all the time..and since he is the one holding, he lets go when its convenient for him to punch and the other fighter has to react to him letting go.......so hatton lets go hits u...then grabs u again... Like i said, i like hattons attitude, humble guy, takes on anyone, aggressive, ...but this style, man its like a Mutated Ruiz style.....the dude has skills, he should quit holding and use them...
poor little ricky he is trying to cash out with a floyd fight and I think it will do do big ppv numbers but ricky has to sign and sign quickly
