This afternoon at “Legends’ in the TD Banknorth Gardens, Boston, was the much awaited “weigh-in for tomorrow nights championship Boxing between Ricky “Hitman’ Hatton and Luis Collazo.
It might be a grey, drizzly day here in Boston – but nothing could dampen the spirits of Ricky Hatton’s supporters! As he walked up to the stand – The Hitman began smiling with obvious delight when the room erupted into cheers and the unmistakable sounds of “Blue Moon’ from the many British Fans who had made the journey over to the States. It certainly was ’The Hitman Invasion’ that Fight Academy had billed the contest as.
Ricky looked relaxed as he stood on the scales and came in at 147 lbs exactly.
Collazo, wasn’t smiling! He too tipped the scales at an even 147 lbs.
