The media is the media - THEY MAKE HEADLINES
Ricky nearly pulled out of fight, Hatton has arm injury etc etc etc
Some of you lot would do well to not be took in by the media spin
1. Hatton never had an arm injury, he had his arms straightened by physios which made him unable to spar for a few rounds. The media spun it another way, it WASN'T a story that came out of the Hatton camp.
2. Hatton DID have a Chest Infection and anybody close to Ricky would tell you that but guess what, listen to his pre-fight interviews, it is clear as day. He can't win, if he mentions it before the fight, he gets accused of making excuses before the fight, if it gets mentioned after the fight, he gets accused again
He can't win. Ray got asked a question regarding the latter rounds and he answered it. Guess what, the media made a F****** headline out of it!!
WHAT EXCUSE DOES HE OR HIS CAMP HAVE TO MAKE??
He lost a single round.
Floyd does it against Baldi and it's called The Sweet Science, Hatton does it and it's whinge city. Yes, he smothered his work for the last 4 rounds and it wasn't pretty but he did the job, won the round and avoided the KO.
