Hatton looking big!!!

[Bomp]

Hatton proved his chin against Kostya. I think some people are curious because Collazo has been fighting at 147-154 through his career, and could possibly cause problems strengthwise, but he doesn't have a remarkeble KO record.

I remember another guy who got really muscular before fight. Muscle size really matters.

[skel1983]

I was referring to the fact he looks good now at a new weight, he doesn't looked totally ripped i was saying he looks stockier and looked good for it.

[AdamGB]

yeah... baller27 is 6 foot at 147 pounds and he is a 'monstor'.

[CountryBoy]

i see ricky getting cut up and kayoed in this fight

Go study some more Law books, Hatton will knock out this feather fisted chump faster than you can say court adjourned.

[AdamGB]

Even Snakey has picked Hatton and he's the guy who thought that Maussa stood a chance in hell of beating Ricky... :P

[raleights]

Anyone who followed Vargas throughout his career knew before his fight with Oscar he looked...different, still great but alltogether different in the body

Hatton doesn't look different, he looks better and I feel sorry for Collazo
I say this one won't go the distance, Ricky knows we Americans like seeing the finish

[SimonH]

Collazo is no mug, Hatton is not the type of fighter, who can cut corners in training and still expect to win, against someone as good as Collazo.

Hatton only wins this fight if he has given it a 100% in training...

I hope and expect because he only needs to boil down to 10/7 rather than 10 stone, he still gave it his all.

I see nothing to make me think he has not, so I take Hatton on points, maybe a late stoppage, as he tries to prove himself to his foreign Audience.

Hatton TKO11

[albsur2006]

I think Hatton either wins by KO/TKO or Collazo wins on points. If Hatton goes all the way to the 12th round and hasn't knocked Collazo out, Collazo either has one hell of a chin or Hatton didn't do enough throughout the fight. I just don't see Hatton not being able to do enough throughout the fight and it will probably be a KO in either Round 10 or 11. On to Hatton vs Baldomir/Gatti.

[LBSCFC]

looking forward to see how ricky performs at 147. i think he will be even better and evn more brutal

[El Gamo]

I soooooooooooooooooooooo hope not BUT if Collazo wins,hypothetically speaking....what then for Ricky? Will he have blown It to be big in USA?

Being from the United States I can tell you, yes
We're famous for being overly critcal, judgemental. A huge majority of the American fans are assholes about reading into stuff and don't know what 1 bad night means. Win or lose I think Ricky's got the goods to take out Mayweather and Cotto. If he loses, simply get a rematch and destroy this prick.

[LBSCFC]

not to tar americans with the same brush but a lot of em always seem to have a negative opinion of british fighters.

[raleights]

Not meh, I'm a huge fan of Calzaghe, Hatton, and Kessler (Audrey Harrison when he first came out as well)

Just wish Frank Warren wasn't such a little bitch about his fighters, no better yet him and Don King need to get on a plane together and this plane needs to miraculously fail. Boxing would be in great form!

Rickys famous Body Belt workout!!! Collazo is in for a rough night

Great link skel

Is it just me though or does that look like a harder workout for Billy Graham than Ricky Hatton?

I mean make Ricky spar 15 rounds WEARING that fucking belt and he'll feel like he can fly once it's taking off!
