Ricky fought bravely.

[DaxxKahn]

Ricky Hatton fought bravely, and trained hard. He was knocked down twice, but tried to do his best. He lost to the best p4p fighter in the world. The better fighter won on the night. Although the lasting images were of an embarrassing and humbling defeat, Ricky had the courage to cop it sweet and not give excuses. Although it wasn't meant to be, not many guys can be even be in a position to fight for the p4p rating until the end..

Ricky fought stupidly.
