Agreed. He outboxed Urango easily, and he did it with a virus. Thats the reason he ran out of steam in the second half of the fight. The bodyshot from Urango didnt help though, Rick told me he was so close to going down after that shot. After the fight Rick went back to his room and didnt come out, he was wrapped up in about 5 layers of clothes. The Doctor that examined Rick after the fight said that if he had diagnosed him before the fight he would have instructed a week in bed. He couldnt believe he had just fought a 12 round fight in that condition. Rick was also ill for another 5 days after that fight.

Anyone that remembers the fight will remember Billy saying to him during the later rounds, "Come on, you can get through this". He was talking about the virus. Hatton did very well to even see the last bell.

I'm not sure what to think at the minute. I've heard allsorts of things that worry me.
