So we nothing .. its Rick doing the biz in the ring and not him...

What makes it worse is then they call Ricky the "man of the people" .. we (well most) know it's about money so stop pretending otherwise.

I find Ricky cringworthy these days too. Press conference the other day he said - "I think all the British press guys will agree Ricky Hatton has the twinkle back in his eye" ... tart. Fact.
this is what put me off him a long time ago. He turned from the likeable go through anything fighter to a phoney sounding used car dealer. The whole 'figting in Vegas for a pay cut which is cheaper for the fans' was just an outright conman type of lie. All he's done since the Collazo reality check is fight safe opponents to set up huge money makers, while selling them as genuine p4p determining fights.

This fight is horribly predictable. Hatton WILL start well and win the first rounds, then things'll start to get messy before Paulie's superior stamina WILL win the ugly last rounds. Who wins will be decided at how early Ricky starts to run out of steam.
