Please view rounds 8-12 of Hatton vs Collazo.

When stopped & pressed backwards...Hatton seemed confused & sloppy.
Along with questioning his reverse gear...I'm curious of how well he'll do with a ref that's active in the match. While I believe that many over exaggerate the amount of Hatton's holding as a tactic...I think that in this bout...it's a tactic that he'll need to exercise quite a bit against Floyd.

What if he's not allowed to?
I think Floyd will tie him up as soon as he moves in anyway, so Ricky will have to use his strength to punch his way out and land the punched he intended to land beforehand.
