The thing is, is this is EXACTLY what people that don't like PBF give him S*** about.
That he doesn't engage enough, he was getting trash talked for schooling Baldomir, yeah
people didn't walk out on Hatton, but if it was not Hatton in there, people would have walked
out based on that fight.
Hatton has some damn loyal a** fans and that's great, but looking at it from an American perspective
to the casual american boxing fan who has not seen Hatton vs. Tszyu, the only impressions they
have of him are Collazo and Urango, the don't get to see the "12 rounds of exciting action" that
has brought you all on board.

Don't take this as me attacking Ricky, because I'm not, he did exactly what he needed to do
to win this fight, but you have to understand, he has been less than spectacular on HBO.
That's what I was getting at... he did enough to win the fight.. so why do people give him stick for it? He boxed well and very smartly against a brawler.. and won.. it wasn't the greatest fight in the world from a boxing fan's perspective.. but he did what he needed to... and did it well...
