    Q: Freddie, if the scenario I just said happened and Ricky is putting the heat on Manny and Manny cracks him, walks right into his best - his Sunday left hand, and Ricky doesn't even change his expression. How does Manny win the fight?

    Freddie Roach: Manny just keeps hitting him. I mean, Manny - Ricky's defense is poor and he's coming forward and we're just going to - just go to him as he comes. I mean...

    Q: But Freddie, if he can't hurt him and he can't keep him off can he beat him in the trenches?

    Freddie Roach: Oh, we guarantee. The first left hand he's going to go down on the canvas.

    Q: The first one? Because Ricky...I'm not convinced that Ricky's stronger.

    Freddie Roach: Ricky doesn't have that good a chin.

    I will be on the floor laughing next weekend if even half of Freddie's recent predictions come through.

    His next one is going to be that Ricky will shart himself during the ring walk.

    How can Roach say Hatton does not have a good Chin he has only been stoped once in over 40 fights.

    Roach is either underestimating Hatton a lot or he is just playing mind games.

    I'm positive it's the latter.

    A first round KO would overrate the winner extremely.
