Ricky looking his usual best!

[Gandalf]

No it really isnt

I get drunk all the time before a big fight and find myself stumbling around like an oath. As the fella in the vid has already pointed out ricky has done the hard work and is now enjoying the easy life

good to luck to him and long may he continue to get p*ssed

I don't get drunk before big fights because they usually start at lunch time. But even then, I have an unspoken rule which means I never drink before 9pm. No one wants to look drunk and silly too early in the night. If you are live at a fight and have got good seats, surely you want to actually watch the fight? I know I would.

Having a 9pm start time practically makes you a teatotaler, miles.

A pro drinker like Hatton would have been at it non stop for days. Just a little top-up can send hardcore drinkers back to the zone.

I don't drink as much as I used to, but even in my hard drinking era, that was the rule. Don't get me wrong, I like a drink and I'm enjoying a quiet one now, but I'm not sat at the keyboard like a muted walrus. Hatton seems to have gone overboard. Or at least gone a bit weird that night. Either way, these stories seem all too regular for my liking. As a Hatton fan, I would like him to look after himself. Or at least not get so drunk in front of a camera.
