Thread: DONT COUNT RICKY OUT JUST YET!!!

I think hatton will show how good he really is in his next fight, people are saying he has no boxing skills but i have seen all of his 41 bouts and in those bouts you can see serious skills just typically in his big american debut he failed produce what we have been seeing for the last 4 years. Ricky had a bad night maybe took collazo to lightly i dont think it was the weight that bothered him i just dont think ricky was fit enough and its his fittness he relies on most, so for his next fight i predict ricky back to his best because every mistake made is a lesson learned, DONT COUNT RICKY OUT JUST YET!!

This topic sounds familiar....wonder why?...could it be that i created one around 24 hours ago

sorry dude didnt see it!!!

Whoever counts Ricky out is a fool. As he said himself he's stepped up in weight and his first fight is against a champion. Collazo had an awkward style which was difficult for Ricky to break down, doesn't make him a bad fighter because of it. I think Hatton was fit enough, it just gets a bit harder with each jump in weight to move guys around the ring as well as taking the punishment back. IMO he should steer well clear of any genuine punchers at Welter because he did look to be feeling the extra power.

Boxing needs more characters like Hatton who bring a bit of class and honesty to the game, I would still like to see him fight Mayweather but only at Light-Welter.

Nah man its all cool, i dont care. Your thread will probably stay here longer then mine did. Mine floated back to the second page. Welcome to saddoboxing, have a

Nobody will be give Ricky a harder time than himself for his performance, i am sure he will be better prepared and focused for his nexted challenge.Who doesnt have off days or get complacent at times hopefully this will give him the incentive he needs to once again prove his critics wrong.

or could it be that he was taken out of his comfort zone and was badly exposed

It's possible, but i'm interested to see where his next fight will take him.
He has a belt now so maybe a respectable target at Welterweight to allow him to adjust the weight and defend his belt.
I'd like to see him a bit fitter for his next fight.
I felt he flagged a bit in the middle of the fight when rounds were there for thew taking and then he flagged in the last round and got tagged too much.
All respect to Mr Collazo though, he may have been deservedly defeated but he showed courage skill, class and fortitude.
He will be one to watch if he can come back strong from this.
