Ricky vs. Lazcano

[donnydarkoIRL]

He will be after this fight.
Not because he wants it now, but because it's a necessity. His legacy, fortune, everything he had planned is at risk now because of limited time.

This is apparently not set in stone. It has the same chance of being Ricardo Torres or Kendall Holt. Ricky wants to get Torres out to Manchester. Win a light-welter title and move on to cleaning up the division.

he just come off his first loss so this i feel is a good fight for ricky, he can then go after the bigger names

[OumaFan]

Would rather have seen Hlatshwayo honestly, at least he's relatively fresh. Lazcano will just take a beating for a while.

After the way Lazcano performed against Vivian I expect Hatton to toss 'em up in a couple of rounds. The body shots will do the trick...

Hatton TKO.

poor choice imo he just picked someone he knows he can look good against does nothing for his rep and shows his current mind set (lacking confidence). If he really is the best 140lb in the world he shouldnt need a tune up he should be fighting Witter,Torres,Paulie or Reese. Dont think i will be tuning in to this one

Hell heres an idea why dont they drag Arturo Gatti out of retirement and beat on him for couple of rounds for the fight after this

Hatton is a coward for ducking Witter again and facing yet another shot fighter Lazcano was good a couple of years ago. When he was at 135. At 140 he's undersized. Not only is he coming off a loss. But he's been on the sidelines for over a year. Terrible choice of opponents for Hatton

Might be a bit difficult to fight them guys seen as tho Witter has a date in March, Rees is fighting Kotelnik, Torres has a date and Paulie just fought his way out of a potential clash with Hatton.


You can't fight guys that just aren't there.

Who else does that leave?

Not many.....so Lazcano isn't the worst choice in the world.
