    Just watched hatton urango again

    I was much more impressed with ricky's work this time around, he showed a side to him that i didn't think he had by boxing circles around urango for the first 8-9 rounds. I was disappointed with the clinching in the last few rounds but i think people who say hatton is washed up or doesn't have the ability to fight at the top level are blowing things way out of proportion. Urango was an extremely strong opponent if nothing else, and i think his strength as well as those crushing body shots started to get to ricky in the final rounds. I'm looking forward to hatton-castillo, it should be a great fight and hopefully ricky can keep himself in decent shape between now and the summer.

      I was happy with the fight for the most of the first part of it. But then the clinching started. He had really good head movement, he was really slipping those punches. Too bad he didn't jsut keep doing that the whole fight.

        maybe the body punches were starting to hurt, so he started holding. it worked, it kept urango from doing much. urango thought he was winning the fight, i think he won 1 round. after that urango stopped going to the body when it was the only thing that was working for him hatton didn't have to do much to win

          Yeah, I think one round he went to the body a lot and hurt hatton, but for some reason it was just one round. They good body shots though, probably took a lot out of him too.

            Or clinching is his way of running... Like De La Hoya vs Hopkins
