This isn't being shown in America is it? That's unfortunate I think it will actually be quite a nice fight. Lazcano is a good fighter just not against the top tier I think he'll fall short but will make it entertaining.

Respectable Lazcano should wear his waistband chest high.Juan does not have near enough at this point to keep Hatton off.Definition of a 'rebound' match for Hatton
I think its going to be how Ricky approaches this fight. If he comes in and really does look awful from his first loss, I think it will go the full 12 and Ricky will win a close UD. But if he is very focused and wants to prove he only lost to THE best than I think he should have no real problems. Hes got the skill level, power, support and quick feet to easily take Lazcano. But lets just hope that the floyd loss hasnt effected him. It would really be disaster if he lost this fight and I wouldnt back him to carry on. But I have full faith in my man to stop Lazcano early to mid rounds.
COME ON RICKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im sure theres a new channel stateside that has managed to pick up the rights to the fight? Bloke who told me this lives stateside and was rather delighted to have a 3rd boxing channel on board as they would now pick up any fights that HBO/Showtime let slip through the cracks!!
Remember reading somewhere hatton has already signed a 3 fight deal after this bout with goldenboy promotions which will be in the middle of a bidding war from HBO/Showtime
HBOs original contract with hatton had already ran out and the fact this fight was due to start 5/6 eastern time, put both of the big fight channels off of this one.
As for the original question
Lazcano to make things as awkward as possible for hatton early on and the 2 styles to make it sloppy early going with even perhaps lazcano getting the slight better of things.
By 4-5 hatton the find his accuracy and begin to work away at lazcano who will eventually run out of steam by 7/8 for a hatton TKO!!!
3rd round k.o if he can do it castillo then lazcano will be a walk over!
Anyone know what time (Pacific) the fight is being shown?
I'm rooting for Lazcano all the way, but he hasn't fought in like a year. He's been stopped by Golden Johnson. I just don't want to see Hatton v Floyd2. SO I'm rooting for anyone they face to derail that sham of a rematch. Hatton should STFU and fight at 140,he's not top 10(maybe not even top 15) at WW.
I simply cant get exited about this fight. Its the Ricky Hatton show and thats it. A nice payday. Good luck to him, he deserves it but its more of an event than a competitive fight.
The add on talk sport sounds like Hands coming home.
Is he the Chav's Champ or something?
Tc
This signiture is up as ante in a 'sig-bet'. Wanna bet anyone?
Of course he isnt a chav. He wears Lonsdale like every day........oh hang on.......

I don't think its fair to judge his loss to Johnson, that was a long time ago and he was a mere novice at the time, at his best he went the distance with guys like Castillo, and beat quality fighters like Molina, Johnston, Leija etc. I think he will give Hatton few problems but nothing major. I mean he spent majority of his career at Lightweight and in his last fight lost against Harris who is only goodish at best, don't really see him being able to handle Hatton's physical strength at 140 and especially since he is past his prime and fighting out of his best weight class.
Just heard on Radio 5 Live that both guys have weighed in a couple of ounces under the 10st limit, so no problems there.
Personally I'm not forking out money for this one, I just don't see it as being a competitive enough fight to warrant shelling out £15 for it, so I'll be listening on the radio, or looking for a stream depending on where I end up being.
Hatton won't have taken this one unless he's 100% sure he'll win at a canter.
