Would Ricardo Torres KO Ricky Hatton ??

[ICB]

I've always thought Torres would give Hatton a very good fight and could KO him especially with Hatton's leaky defense and Torres power, but now this match up is looking worse and worse for Hatton IMO. Getting wobbled by naturally smaller Lazcano and looking like a shot fighter whats your thoughts on this ??

For starters I gotta disagree with the term 'shot fighter'...
Sure Hatton at times didn't look good but he also had some great moments although in spurts...

As we've seen Hatton eats left hooks as much as he eats food. So Torres has the oppourtunity there BUT let's not forget Torres can't take body shots the 1st well connected hook that Cotto threw at him dropped him and he didn't get up so Hattons got the advantage there.

I see this one 50/50 right now.

Mick when i said shot fighter i was going by what people said on here, now i have just watched the fight for the first time today i totally disagree with people calling Hatton shot fighter. I think Hatton looked good throwing double hooks to the body and his free flowing combinations, i said Lazcano would give Hatton some trouble and that was good for Hatton, that he went 12 competitive rounds in his comeback fight.

Hatton is yet again making a mistake by leaping in with his chin in the air and he was caught with the exact same punch Mayweather floored him with, "Check Left Hook". I did notice Torres was having some problems taking body shots from Cotto but lets remember Torres did only take that fight on 2 weeks notice so that may of had something to do with it but i don't know im just speculating.

I think Torres would have a great chance at KO'ing Hatton and i have said this even before Hatton's fight with Lazcano, Torres is the only real fighter at Jr Welterweight that can bang hard enough to KO Hatton. And with Hatton's leaky defense i think thats strong possibility that Torres could end the fight quickly before Hatton gets a chance to work on his midsection but we will see.
