My take on a few things of late...

[Bomp]

Yeah mate its a shame, It was hard as a hardcore fan of Ricky to take on board such a big stoppage. I actually dont think it was the fact Ricky did shit, it was the sheer class of such a great fighter in Manny Pac. I really do think him and Cotto are the only two people who have any chance of beating Mayweather. We just have to get on with it though, its boxing there are plenty of heartbreaks for many fans and this weekend is was us Brits.

I like Ricky and was really worried for his health on saturday.

I just knew Pacquiao would be too much for him, I have to admit though i never expected it to end that early.

I knew potentially Pac could do that, but I didnt think he would be able to do it against such a strong fighter at 140 in Ricky. I thought it would be a close fight, with Ricky stopping him late. But Manny really did show his class and very well done to him in doing that, he shut me up !

One of Ricky's problems is that he believed what's highlighted himself, or at least he wanted to believe in that trump card. The right mentality is very important in all sports, but even more so in boxing, and rather than prepare for all possible scenarios he chose to believe entirely in this one which ultimately ended the fight sooner than it could have gone.
