BBC SPORT | Boxing | Hatton & trainer Graham to split
Grahams health apparently :-\
Good news.
Fresh ideas and a new approach can only help.
I can't say I'm not pleased to hear this, but Lee Beard?
Even though this was on the cards, according to reports since the Mayweather fight, his health must be really bad to leave Ricky for his final few fights. ;)
(the spanish archer)
Freddie will get something extra out of Hatton!
Surly they could just stop doing that fucking bodybag bollocks? That would make Grahams life much easier, or just get someone else to do it?
El Bow indeed.
I think its sad, Billys paid his dues, not a bad lad Boxings His life I wish Him well. Even though Ill never get those Ciggys he ponced of Me.
That would make sense, not sure about replacing your trnainer with the understudy.Quote:

Hatton will probably train himself.
From what I saw there was little technical training, Ricky jumped beam, hit the bag, worked the body belt, sparred, ran, skipped, did weights.....
He doesn't need a trainer for that.
Thats all conditioning, no actual technique. He doesn't need a trainer for that.
For this guy Beard, Hatton has a second familiar with his corner and routine, won't get in the way or try and change anything and Beard will have his name promoted as the lad who helped Ricky finish his career.
Didn't Beard work with Hatton for the Lazcano fight? I'm sure he helped Hatton with some new combinations. I thought he looked a lot better than he had recently done...with his combinations.
He was in as the pad man yes.Quote:

Now Hatton has split i think it would be a good idear to bring a new trainer not Graham's understudy.New trainer fresh idears we mite see the Ricky Hatton of old where he doesnt hold all the time.
Was just listening to olin Hart (The Sun) on Talk Sport and there was no mention of Graham's health :-\
To be fair he talks out his arse anyway. Suppose it makes for a better story if it's controversialQuote:

There had been speculation that the pair would split after Hatton's brother Matthew recently left Graham's Gym and things came to a head on Monday.
