Re: Interesting....hatton isnt as good out of manchester is he?
LBSCFC - very interesting point about Hatton arriving only one week prior to the fight...
I know Kostya Tszyu, a guy who made his career on successful trips overseas, always insisted on 2 weeks... Maybe Ricky will try it next time.
It must be hard for British fighters though - look at the kind of fanatical support guys like Bruno/Naz/Benn/Hatton/Calzaghe get at home... Then they come to the States with a lot of hype and basically almost everybody wants to see them fall. It's no wonder they don't like going to the States and it's no wonder that they don't have particularly good records when they go over.
Barry McGuigan/Steve Cruz... Kelley nearly upstaged Naz.. come to think about it I don't think Naz had a decent fight on American soil - all his American performances were shit with the exception maybe of the Augie Sanchez fight. Then again that was against Augie Sanchez so that doesn't really say much. And today Hatton was nearly derailed at the first turn...
