From all reports, FMJ has been training like a fiend. I think he only knows one way to train - all out.
Some reporters have observed the ten minute rounds, etc. And Lovemore said that sparring has been nine minute rounds with 15 second breaks. All the usual stuff that we've known FMJ to do.
Fitness won't be a problem for either man. Hatton will be in the best shape of his life. Hatton will tire, but it will be from the combination of taking shots and pursuing Floyd's lateral movement.
Hatton hasn't faced someone who brings superior speed, athleticism and footwork. That will trouble him. Plus, Ricky is just too small.
