But he also does not work the jab at all. He doesn't have explosive punching power. He is short and has short arms. All these things add up.
I don't see anything that Hatton does really, really well other than being aggressive and throwing a decent amount of punches.
I think his flaws and lack of explosive weapons will be exposed by an elite fighter. Castillo at his advanced age may not be the guy, but someone will be.
interesting perspective sweetpea . I agree to a point . Rick need to settle down with the party lifestyle a bit or he is in for some troubles down the road. Ricky relies on his strength, if he sap’s that by taking off 30 plus pounds for fights in the future he is doomed. Ricky has come to that crossroads we all come too at some point called the late 20's . where you got do things differently , better diet, less drinking and so on…or you is just accelerating that steady decline . Age is a mutherfucker !
