Hatton at 140lbs is an incredibly strong fighter.
Alkthough not a concussive puncher, he is possessed of enough venom to force the opposition backward and damage the. We have witnessed this in such attritional fights as Tszyu, Urango and Maussa.

In Lazcano Hatton is faced with a fighter used to forcing opposition backward himself. He will walk toward Hatton and Ricky as I said has the power to resist.

I wouldn't be surprised If we see Ricky box Lazcano for a couple of rounds, moving in and out. But eventually he will make the move and attempt to Stop Lazcano.
