If Oscar stayed on his toes, pumped that jab and used his right hand I think he could win a UD....I do admit there is a definate possibility of Oscar fading from Ricky's pressure and losing, but I'd put my money on ODH pulling out a SD

Im the biggest Hatton fan around, but i think Dela Hoya is to powerful for him, i dont think it will be Mayorga style beating but i would not take this fight, but i suppose if hes getting 15 million or there abouts it might be worth it, but this could damage his reputation badly, if things go very bad and i think there is a possibility they could, id take Maywearher Cotto before this fight.

I think Dela Hoya thinks he can go out with a bang against a young p4p unbeaton fighter who he feels he will look good against, i think Oscar is being clever here, he knows Hatton is much the smaller man, and feels he can generate alot on intrest while also looking a million dollers.
