I think it depends what sort of commentary you're listening to. If the commentator on your broadcast is telling you he's hurt then you're going to believe it.
Personally from being at the fight, he didn't look even slightly in trouble. From rewatching the fight again with the commentary on, it seemed like he was wobbled but had recovered by the time the ref called the break. I rewatched the round without any noise and he looked perfectly fine. Seen him take shots like that on many occassions.
Personally think he was more hurt in the 8th, even though i still cant decide what hurt him.

Wasnt a moment to get overly concerned about.
hatton was hit by a very good puncher on endless occasions during that contest.
No surprise to see him wobbled once or twice, Only seen the fight in real time and was fairly KO`d on alcohol as was most of the stand i was in...
But it seemed from that moment onwards hatton almost seemed to get a second wind - perhaps he lulled lazcano into a false sense of security??
i doubt hatton would have been KOd or even dropped if the ref didnt do what he did but it looked to clearly be done due to the fact hatton appeared hurt
he was hit, staggered, and then struggled to clinch, which he was having trouble doing and getting hit in the process
it also seemed that initially the ref stopped it to warn lazcano, and then almost seemed to just go along with hatton choosing to stand in the corner
I was not impressed saturday night. Rickys defence was absolutely shit at times, no head movement whatsoever. This is a big problem because his punch resistance ain't a third of what it used to be (he was wobbled a few times and when he got tagged he just stood there to take more). He also does not look half as strong as he used to, he was getting forced back in clinches alot and could not out muscle Lazcano.
Imagine Saturdays version of Hatton againsed Tszyu?
I don't think it matters if Hatton never touches a drink or a pie ever again, he won't find his old form, I think the damage is done.
[quote=gyrokai;524091]His legs were fine, his eyes were clear, he was still coming forward. I've seen every single Ricky Hatton fight and i just dont think he was that hurt. Not even close to being knocked out.
I think you're either influenced by commentary or you've never seen hatton in trouble before.
He was hurt against Vince Phillips (4th round, badly), hurt against Eamon Magee (2nd round) and he was in trouble against Collazo in the 12th especially. The 10th doesn't even compare to them 3 occassions (on all 3 occassions he didn't even go down. To say he was on the verge of being Ko'd (as some are saying on here) is ridiculous.
Also the ref had to break the fighters up as Lazcano was pushing down on his head and hitting him at the same time. Lazcano looked in far worse condition at several times during the fight. Not saying the shot didn't buzz him, but i never got the impression he was particularly hurt.

Once again ono your spot on
Just seen the incident again and if anything lazcano was glad to get the break as hatton completely dominated the round.
Only time ricky looked half troubled was towards the end of the 8th and that was never anything like a possibility of a ref intervening.
Foster could of stepped in countless times during the 7th, 11th and 12th rounds but gave juan the benefit of the doubt because he realised that it was a very tought fought contest.

WTF is wrong with you dumb Hatton cunts. Look I really like Hatton, but the Hatton fans around here will turn anyone into a hater. Are you serious. Are you a fucking retard. that is a rhetorical question by the way.
Yeah I am sure that Lazcano was real happy that the ref intervened when Hatton was hurt...
You are a moron. May God have mercy on your soul.

An yes I negative repped you for your dumb hatton post. If you all want to try to gang up on the booze I guess bring it on. Because I have one thing on my side: truth and reason.

[quote=boozeboxer;524521]Is that aimed at me?
Either way your post just made you sound like a 12 year old you tube poster.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally don't think he was that hurt. You think he was. End of discussion.
No need to speak to people like that. Makes the site look stupid when you start laying into the newer members like that.
I see nothing wrong in round 10. Hatton got rocked, and recovered. The shoe lace had to be retied.
[quote=hattonthehammer;524488]Well from being at the fight i can tell you the 8th round is the only time i thought he was hurt. I still can't decide what hurt him. A left hook to the chin landed but it didn't look that solid. A body shot also landed as did a low blow. Either way he was stumbling forward into the corner. But once again he was fine a few seconds later so he may have just been off balance.
It's not unusual to see Hatton buzzed.....he recovers very quickly. The time to worry is the time he doesn't recover very quickly.
I'd be worried if i saw him showing signs of being hurt for half a round.
[quote=ono;524485]When has Ricky ever been hurt and showed signs of it in the legs? When he was knocked out againsed Floyd he was stood there and then fell sideways all of a sudden. When he is hurt he just freezes and waits for the attack to stop, that's what he did Saturday.
