Also what happen to that lateral movement he used to use when his opponent was on the ropes? Its like he isn't even the same guy, and I don't get how he's getting technically worse, you would think a knockout would knock some sense back into him and fix his mistakes, but it hasn't.
I would also like to add that if he took a little off the gas peddle coming forward and picked his oppertunities better I could see HAtton fighting still for a long time, he is still incredibly fast, and when he isn't coming in blindly he's a lot harder to hit. I hope he can change his mentality to better suit a longer career.
