Just seen a news clip of the hitmam on SSN, about him not making uo his mind with regards retirement and future promotional work. I couldnt help but notice that Rickys speach was much more slurred than i thought it was before the fight. I did read an article from a website in manilla, saying that the way hatton landed and the aftermath of the ko was resembling a seizure, which can lead to possible parkinsons desease in later years. I'm hoping is nothing though The sooner Ricky retires the better, did anybody else see the interview and feel the same?
I don't know... dwilson has this pic as his avatar and I thought I'd have a good laugh by posting it in a Ricky Hatton thread. :yep
I wouldn't take what a freakin' manila newspaper says about a knockdown causing seizures as gospel truth. I'd have to see this interview.

He don't sound like the same guy to me. Could be compounded by his state of mind and other things, possibly even some alcohol, but there does seem to be some hesitation and slight slurring in Hatton's speech. I'd say a beer buzz is a good possibility, but that may be too optimistic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-N1rhLlgEg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvlwonkj9sw
