If I remember rightly, in the first Castillo fight, Mayweather was switch hitting. Was this because of an injury or tactics? Everybody knows that Hatton struggles most against southpaws, so it would make sense for Floyd to try and expose this. Does he feel comfortable enough doing it? Is Floyd confident enough he can win out of his normal stance and doesn't need to switch hit anyway? I'm interested to see if he does switch hit during the fight.
A homer referee. I hope the ref lets them fight and doesn't keep separating them, I want to see Floyd grappling, fighting and out of his comfort zone.
Ricky doesn't grab and hit anyway. At worst, he ties up the fighters arms, but Ricky is always active when on the inside....which is why the ref shouldn't get involved.
floyd cannot stand pressure so his team will buy a ref that won't let hatton get within an armslength(floyds) of floyd. It will be just like Leonard-Duran II, same bs different century. A frigging joke and a damn shame. Does anyone really think pbf could stand up to hattons power to the body? he can't, and it is a well known fact that he won't have to. that is why the fight is in a small 16k theater in the US, when in fact it should be in the UK with an attendance breaching 60k at a huge outdoor stadium. It's not about the $$ as the Euro is much stronger than the dollar, and hatton draws big there, and they'd still have PPV. It's about floyds lack of balls and hatton willing to do anything to fight hm. kudos to ricky.
holding and simultanously hitting is illegal. Anyway his tactic will be to firstly beat Hatton to the punch and control distance, secondly defend inside and throw uppercuts inside as Hatton trys to hold and hit
Don't really understand boxing do you? And that why Ricky turned the fight down at least 5 times over 2 1/2 years according to his father 'because he wasn't ready' - yes kudos to Ricky :roll:
When Hatton was saying he "wasn't ready"...that meant he wasn't ready to face a prime threat and lose his zero. Now he's ready...and will be paid handsomely.
