Not good news for Ricky that he is getting tagged in sparring quite a bit...

Sure...maybe it's all a ploy to make Mayweather think it will be easy on the night...not that PBF would fall for it though.

Pbf Ko 7.

 

Gayrunner is not stopping Hatton. You think he can't stop Glass Jawdah but he can stop Hatton? hah.

 

Judah had to cheat (one of the most blatant cheats in recent history) to stop himself from being stopped.

Mayweather TKO 11 Judah

 

Yep. And Hatton will do that if he has to as well. He blatantly did it v KT, so why should Floyd be any different?

It's going to be rugged. If Floyd can stay away from the punches, elbows, heads, knees and land enough, he'll win.

If he gets caught too often - it will be a very very close points decision, or he'll get stopped. To be honest though, I can't see Floyd getting stopped.

 

One low blow against Tszyu and you make Hatton out to be GOLOTA!

 

I think the thing with Hatton style pressure is that he more or less does it on the way in and then holds.

He doesn't let the hands go in close, rather he initiates the clinch, wiats for the break and then presses again - Often behind lunging left hooks. Which was evident in his last fight with Castillo on numerous occasions.

That to me is the danger zone for Hatton - Mayweather has the speed and accuracy to counter those moments - Hatton will really have to corner Mayweather to get off effectivley in my view.

I think that leaves too many chances for Floyd to counter.

Yeah but I have yet to see anyone have a focused attack soley on those areas ..Either way Hatton imo will eat allot of leather what I want to see will he bring a jab to this fight ..I know everything else he brings but he needs that jab !!Other than that break Floyd's hands lol Any which way he can !

 

Maybe Floyds next fight should be with Malinaggi so neither of them have to throw a punch, they could just dance for 12 rounds, how sweet!

 

malignaggi is very active. Dont confuse not having power with being inactive

 

No disrespect to Paulie, just tryin to lighten the mood

 

Sparring is not the best indication of a fighters ability. Good sparring is concentrating more on your weaknesses and not your strengths. Watch Ali in training for the Foreman fight sparring with Holmes if you want an example

I think the key to the fight is Ricky has to come out on top in the exchanges using his power. Ricky will have to weather floyd and tag him back which he will IMO - i just hope he aviods too much damage - it would be a shame to see a cut or swelling stoppage.

 

You could be right..

Sounds like we have a very expensive game of catch and kiss on our hands come december 8..
