"With Carlose Maussa, obviously, you saw the fight. You saw the guy. He was very, very awkward - switch-hitter, rangey, gangly, punching at odd angles.

"With me last two fights, how can you look good against them? Southpaws, difficult styles.

"(Luis) Collazo was quick and tricky and threw hooks from the waist that you don't see coming.

"While (Juan) Urango had that peek-a-book defence and your punches just bounced off him!



I don't know any other fighter who has EVER repeatedly used so many excuses for FIGHTS THAT HE WON!!! His last three fights, he feels the need to defend each one and stress how difficult it was for him to look good against these world beaters MAussa Urango and Collazo... Well, to quote mr. Hatton, that gives me a bloody good laugh. What other fighter does that? He says he uses the criticism as motivation... Well, it sure as hell hasn't appeared that way.
