Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Hatton vs Urango

[Violent Demise]

Ricky Hatton is garbage.

say bye bye to the p4p list little Ricky!

Heh, heh you going to make my man Dan pop a blood vessel.

My thing with Hatton is that he doesn't just have one flaw.
He didn't work the body effectively in my opinion. That by itself wouldn't be that much of a problem.
But he also does not work the jab at all. He doesn't have explosive punching power. He is short and has short arms. All these things add up.
I don't see anything that Hatton does really, really well other than being aggressive and throwing a decent amount of punches.
I think his flaws and lack of explosive weapons will be exposed by an elite fighter. Castillo at his advanced age may not be the guy, but someone will be.

interesting perspective sweetpea . I agree to a point . Rick need to settle down with the party lifestyle a bit or he is in for some troubles down the road. Ricky relies on his strength, if he sap’s that by taking off 30 plus pounds for fights in the future he is doomed. Ricky has come to that crossroads we all come too at some point called the late 20's . where you got do things differently , better diet, less drinking and so on…or you is just accelerating that steady decline . Age is a mutherfucker !

Hatton boxed his head off for the first 5 rounds then he took that body shot and it changed the whole dynamic of the fight.

Urango can obviously bang and I Hatton didn't fancy it. From 7 onwards, he was being told to grab by Billy Graham.

He looked tired tonight if I'm honest.

Still, 119-109 is a good nights work, he did what he had to do even if he did hold too much, certainly more impressive than Castillo or than the Collazo fight.

I'd be surprised to see ANYBODY at 140 knock Urango out.

I agree , the way Urango fights leaves little to counter.. I agree. I would be surprised to see him knocked out. In fact I think the majority who try , will meet their own demise !

hahaha you guys make me LOL sometimes anyhooo CC for Wacko seing it as it was

Night guys i'll leave you to hate on a guy who got hurt by a body shot from an unbeaten fighter and won all but 2/3 rounds

i think your forgetting Hatton was in with a massive guy who would tired out any fighter with hattons style and lets face it Ricky wont need to hold Floyd because he'll be running to the other end of the ring

I'm no hater Saddo.

It's just that the Hatton who beat the living hell outta Carlos Maussa, is no more.

Seriously, Hatton was getting better with each fight.
From his early days, to Ben Tackie, to Kostya, and to Maussa. All world class fighters, with at least Ben being a tough veteran of the sport.

That Hatton would have destroyed this untested but undefeated fighter.

Destroyed in a TKO, KO, or Decision beat down, whatever it be, but this Hatton is VERY different from the one I've followed.

Cares too much about losing and getting hit now.
Collazo really hurt him, I don't think people realize how it feels to get seriously hurt in a fight, you feel helpless and worse.
Unless Hatton comes back from that, which I think that has changed him,
then we'll see Hatton continue his "clinching" and not-as-confident performances happen from now on.

Hatton was always meant to lose, so I won't scream "EXPOSED!" when he finally does,
but this performance was so different than what I have come to expect from him.
I rank him up their with the Cotto's, Pacquiao's, of the next "Reigning Terrors."
So I think VERY highly of him. And when Cotto puts on a white-wash decisive unanimous victory,
he does it with patience and skill. NOT by a one-two clinch, or punch clinch, body clinch.
Even writing and reading that repetative act is boring.

As I've said... This is B.A.D.D.D.

CC for the RBR Wack. I have yet to see the fights but like I said many times before the fight,I would not be surprised to see Urango last until the bell and he did. Castillo sounded dissappointing but he did have alot of rust so that's understandable! Like I also said before,Diego Corrales would give Hatton hell. He's much taller and hits so dam hard that he could ko Hatton although his body would be a target for Hatton.It would make for a great fight.

As for Hatton-JLC,I'm still sticking by my prediction of Hatton to win but the fact that Urango hurt him to the body does not bode well for Ricky v JLC. An on form Castillo digs and rips to the body and head equally so it will be interesting.

[superheavyrhun]

Well, from the British PPV perspective, what a very long night's boxing that was, and today I have to get up early to go mountain biking.
Anyhow, I thought Castillo made very tough work of his fight against Ngoudjo, and that Ngoudjo showed himself to be a very deent and game fighter. Castillo always looked as though he thought he was cruising, but couldn';t move up the gears when he needed to. Wasn't overly impressed with him, but I guess he'll step up his game when it comes to it. Probab;ly deserved to edge the win in the end.

As for Hatton, I can't admit that it was wht I wanted to see from him, but he played it tactically well enough, and was well ahead on the cards, although I might have given Urango another round or two. While all throughout Hatton was talking up his tag as "Mr Entertainment" he didn't come through entirely on that one, but he won, setting up a summer 'superfight', between the two fighters who didn't overly impress.

AS for impressing, I thought Matthew Hatton put in a very credible performance and absolutley dominated.

[SalTheButcher]

castillio got his ass kicked and in an insane occurance the only judge that got it right was giampa


WTF is this, rocky 6?1?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!

[El Gamo]

Having seen that,I first have to congratulate Hatton for the win and the fact that he showed some very nice boxing skills at the beginning although his punches lacked power and he did not attack the body as frequently.

However,I was not happy with the second half of the fight,it was shit(for want of a better word!) Hatton's corner (Graham whom I have a strong disliking) was telling him to,in essence,play it safe but Urango was the PERFECT fighter to look good against and win over the American fans(he threw 1 punch at a time,was sloooooooooooow and basically had no aim) yet Ricky was grabbing! Grabbing far far far far too much for me! And if he uses these grabbing tactics v JLC,it'll spoil the fight!

I must disagree with Wacko,Urango is tough,pressures with his movement(always coming forward)but is a very limited fighter. He reminds of Rocky Juarez,relies on 1 punch at a time,easily outboxed,slow and Iwas not impressed. I mean when he went to the body in round 5,he had limited success,yet rather than go back to that,he wandered around aimlessly again afterwards. I had to laugh when he raised his hands,I mean WTF was he thinking? This was a shot at the bigTIME,I think he was still in awe that he was on the big stage and did not make the most of the oppertunity.

Again,the most important thing is that he came out with the W,but against a limited fighter,I expected more,I don't care how you look at the fight,it was NOT exciting at all! Hatton gets credit for his win but I expect much much better v Castillo(especially as I'm predicting a Hatton win!)

[Saddo]

Gonna watch this one again today was a bit pissed last night

lotta good fights though well done sky and bring on Hatton v Castillo

[Saddo]

Scrap that didnt record it

so from what i remember Hatton couldn't make a dent in the massive Urango and got hurt by a body shot and that changed the tactics to grabbing because im guessing he was hurt... not a great way to close the show but he got the job done

Good win for Ricky IMO but the naysayers will always be on his case even when he wins nearly every round... funny its the same naysayers who were in praise of Mayweather running for 12 rounds.

nothing stranger than a boxing fan i guess

but one thing is for sure Castillo - Hatton is a mouthwatering matchup now

BOX ON

losing 40 lbs to make weight sapped some of Hatton’s strength . he looked a bit fatigued to me. He need to hover closer to his fighting weight in between fights and he should be ok , Ricky aint getting any younger, so a change in lifestyle is in order to continue those winning ways . .

I thought that too, but 28 is a VERY young age to start feeling the affects of significant weight draining. So if it is, Hatton is in trouble!

But I've never seen Hatton tired. So this is a shock to me.

yeah but Ricky has been fighting for a long time.. proper diet and weight management is the key to future success with him at this point.. My opinion of course ! but I love to eat and drink also so I can relate.. It's easier said the done ! !

Twenty-Eight Though! That's freakin' young! Think about it.

If your right, which you think you are... then you should also think that Hatton is IN trouble!
