He got hurt real bad against Magee .Magee was on the ropes looking for the same shot he had Hatton on the floor with but Hatton didnt rush in after that he just boxed Magee .He never had any trouble after round 3 because Magee was to predictable with his back on the ropes looking for the 1 big shot.
Yeah I can agree with that. Ricky really didn't look like losing the fight at any stage after he went down, and he was able to adapt to Magee being on the ropes. But I think he had to work a lot harder to do the damage because he really did have to box and make sure he didn't catch any more big blows coming in.. Their is nothing wrong with that, it showed some versatility and showed he can think while he's in there... Fortunatly Ricky loves hard work also and didn't back off for a second, which will win you a fight 9 times out of 10...
I could just see Ricky dominating that fight a lot more if Magee hadn't countered so well and kept him back as well as he did.

Fvck i'll say it again, this is going to be a great fight!!

Ricky is going to come at Floyd the same as Castillo did, and Floyd arguably (convincingly in my opinion) lost that fight...
