If he could just fine tune those things I would be a fan. He's fun to watch when he's not tying up.

That kinda technique all stemed from the tszyu fight and never really ever left him.

If you watch hatton against the likes of olivera, phillips etc you`ll see a guy who although still loved getting up close never really forced his opponent into tieing up or turning the fight into a scrap.

The team had the plan for kostya to tie him up whenever possible and in them situations look to manouvere yourself into a position to get your shots off, it worked a treat and has stuck with him ever since.

He briefly tried altering back to his old technique half way through the collazo fight and then reverted back once luis got the better of the trades!
