Ricky's team have been quite open that his preparation was all wrong and he put on the weight to quickly. He entered the ring as a Middleweight at 160lbs. Now for a guy who's hole game plan is work rate and out and out pressure, it's no surprise that this extra weight caused him problems.

Not an excuse it's his teams own fault, but it was a good lesson learnt and at the end of the day he still won the fight
