Thread: Ricky Hatton on ESPN (video)

Click here to watch Hatton-ESPN

I saw that a few days ago. It's like getting a little boxing lesson for free. . The thing I learned is how important it is to move laterally to find angles and get leverage on the inside. A lot of fighters don't do that at all, including most heavyweights.

Good stuff

I'm not sure if the interview is complete but when asked about Tony Margarito he doesn't even mention him, he clearly skips over his name.

Hint, Hint..........


But sure he wan't a piece of the Welter crown and talks about how he would love to fight Baldomir....... :

Well why on earth would Hatton want Margarito?? He hasn't even fought in the states yet, why fight the guy American fighters are avoiding. All the respect in the world if it were to happen, but there's just no reason.. Hatton is fighting in the US so he can get good exposure and so that a showdown with PBF would draw more people and he could demand a larger split.. Fighting Margarito in front of 30 people would probably be the stupidest move he could make. THere just wouldn't be ANY interest in the fight, no casual fans would be drawn whatsoever. You could probably find half of the people watching it on the RBR in this forum.

Like I said BUT he does wan't to fight Baldomir... :

Well, alot of people know the name Baldomir now that he beat Judah, plus it's the WBC welterweight title, which is a perfect way to make the match with PBF happen.

He hasn't even had a fight at welter yet. :

I understand, but in the interview he talks about coming to the states to fight Bladomir he clearly stated he wanted to fight at welter. Then Kenny asked him what about Margarito and he baffled on and just kinda skipped over his name not really addressing him. :

Then Kenny said well what about if you defeat Baldomir what about after that would you fight Margarito, he said well by then I would probably fight back at 140 against the winner of PBF-Zab. :

He's looking a bit podgey.
