Hatton had a cold?

[GEOFFHAYES]

According to Saturday's Sun, he had come down with a cold, and according to another tabloid he was having to drink meal replacements because of a sore throat.

Interesting. Maybe explains why he looked so weak, and why Graham was saying "Let's just get through this" between rounds in the second half of the fight.

The guy who mentioned it was called Pat Sheehan.

He didn't sound like he had a cold in the pre and post fight interviews. It looked to me like Urango was a bit stronger than Hatton thought and maybe Hatton was somewhat weight drained, still it was a good win, enough to put him in a big showdown against Castillo.

Don't bother he's the king of excuses for his boy.

I don't know why everyone is on Hatton's case. I mean, the clinching is not my favourite, but he came away with a 119-109 win. Urango was a really strong guy with a good chin, which made it hard for Hatton muscle him like he does with other opponents. So he boxed and came away with a solid win. Maybe not exciting, but extremely decisive. The guy doesn't need any excuses for a win.

I agree. Hatton wasn't going to make the fight harder then it needed to be. I enjoyed both fights.
