Off the top of my head I think he said that the tactics Graham wanted Hatton to use were wrong and I think he mentioned the one of the HBO commontators said Grahams work in the courner was inept or words to that effect.Originally Posted by leftylee
Porkypara did he say anything about what he felt towards Ricky's performance etc as he's just so biased Frank it's unreal.Originally Posted by porkypara
It could of course be the fact that when Hatton went up in class he was not able to do the same things to the better fighters.Originally Posted by deck
Good topic but I wouldn't listen to Warren on it. he's got sour grapes now and hates Billy. I think that there's no need for a new trainer at this stage - it could do more harm than good. It think they need to sit down and seriously, seriously look at theor tactics since the Oliveira fight. Just because they worked for Tszyu and he was so good didn't mean that they were necessarily the way forward. He was devestationg in the Stewart and mainly the Oliveira fight. And remember they were the fights that got him the title shot in the first place. Better defence, head movement, accuraccy, brilliant footwork. These things need to be brought back in in conjuction with his new style. More of the old style though.
Lefty
But he's right
There needed to be a plan B
Its obvious there wasnt one
What plan B could Hatton have.
He did not have the skills to out box FM so he had to try and force the fight.
