His opponent needs to pour on the pressure to shrug Ricky off and stop him from coasting to a victory.

Lets face it, if you can get through a days work without breaking a sweat, you will do it, so why he shouldn't he?
You only have to be better than your opponent to win, you don't have to be great in every fight.
No great fighters are, they just have to keep winning...
Good points but in Ricky's situation,it's different. He's trying to break into the very lucrative market Stateside,so he has to look good in order to win over US fans and hope that they spend their hard earned $$$ on him. If that was the first time I'v seen Hatton,I would not see what was entertaining about him at all ESPCIALLY in the last 6 rounds.. and against such a limited fighter in Urango,it was the best chance to win them over,look good. Carry on boxing like he was,show some combos,anything other than the constant holding. I mean I'm sure there was 1 round Lederman gave to Urango simply because Hatton did nothing but help all round.....
