Just before Hatton and PBF were given their instructions

He'd just seen Hopkins and JC doing it, he was just playing up to the crowd. You read too much into these things sometimes IMHO.

 

"beware of that ring post ricky"

 

True, but those of us who studied the fight closely know what happened.

 

And who's saying that? Lack of sleep will definitely affect how you perfom in the biggest fight of your life, don't you think? But no, I wasn't saying that's why he lost. I ASKED a question, that's all.

And please quit posting your ridiculous emoticons. They are tasteless and immature.

 

Some people seem to think they give weight and credibility to an argument..:deal

 

Thank you for having some sense. :good

And I think Ricky looked a little nervous to starting up, but that's only natural because this was the biggest fight of his life. I wouldn't chalk it, or his performance, up to a lack of sleep. In fact I'd be shocked if lack of sleep was the actual cause, because professional fighters shouldn't have trouble with that, especially a great one like Hatton.

 

Ahh so your the famous Woodya? I've been all over your videos this last couple of weks. Cheers for that, you're a good'un!

 

Are you sure he was angry? Would he not have been shouting "Go ****ing have him RIck!" with a lot of passion?

I dunno which bit you are talking about so I dunno. Show us a vid.

 

100% agreed. All I wanted to know is if anyone knows if the rumour was true. It's only a minor point, I know, but on top of everything else I wondered if his stamina and his overall mood could have been affected by it. Personally, I can be a snappy ******* when I haven't slept!

This is kinda unrelated, but I am a musician. I once had to play an important gig after having no sleep and doing lots of travelling. I didn't think I would perform well at all, but when I stepped on that stage the adrenaline kicked in and any tiredness was over-ridden for an hour or so. I happened to play one of the best shows of my life that night.

 

I kind of agree but I think that, if it Frank "the fiddler" Warren would have made a point of letting the World know that everyone around Ricky had ****ed the fight up for him but as far as I know, Warren hasn't uttered a word,

I do think too much was going on before this fight but to be perfectly honest, unfortunately I think some of that blame lays at Ricks feet. I think he got himself far to emotional for this fight, he seemed to me to be quite out of control.

It's such a shame because he really is one of the nicest lads you could meet and I hate the fact that he is suffering so much now. I know for a fact that he would give Floyd all the money he earned on the fight if he could have won it fair and square.

 

Bullshyt....i bet you thought he looked great in rounds 1 and 2 didnt you....then he starts eating jabs and str8 rights like home cooking and now he is too nervouse and tired.....fukk outta here.

 

Exactly what happened.

 

Not me. I think, if anything, the video would have given him strength. Ricky ****ed up. His plan didn't work. Some people can't accept it, but Floyd was the better fighter and handled himself brilliantly.

No need to paint us all with the same brush, Mr. StealthBomber.
