    he might use a little bit of head movement but I don't expect him to be that much different there was not enough time to change him and I am not sure he can be changed.

    For the love of boxing I hope he doesnt hook and hold again. Years ago I really tried to like Ricky but was turned by that horrible wrestling style...If he actually boxes and doesnt hold I will be extremely overjoyed....I've got my fingers crossed

    This fight hinges on Hatton's conditioning. He started to look very fatigued against Mayweather in the latter rounds. Hatton is an energy fighter and without superb conditioning he becomes a bit ordinary.

    I think he will be different in the early going but after a few rounds he will get back at what he usually does.

    I imagine Floyd Snr has made some difference otherwise if Hatton wasnt listening he'd probably have walked already.

    And with Paulie's lack of pop Hatton will probably feel comfortable enough to try a few knew things without fear of getting battered.

    They have been talking a lot about change.
    But I can imagine Hatton getting in the ring and doing exactly what he has always done.
    Have to wait and see.

    He is with Mayweather sr now. So we should see him using the jab alot more and an all around better defence.

    If Malignaggi lands often on him for 3-4 rounds he will go back to what he usually does.....

    i think what mayweather has to say to him between rounds can make a difference also.

    Don't they say everyone has a strategy until they get hit? Who knows? he's been fighting the same way for years I think once his brain stops working( too many punches to the head) his instinct will kick in and he'll go back to crazy old Hatton.

    All he needs to do is hit him in the face a lot and he will win the fight.
