Hatton fought Urango with a chest infection!

And who said that PBF's win over Baldomir is impressive? That win stinks just like Hatton's win over Urango. You know what's common in those two fights? Hatton and Pbf fought opponents who were not in their own class.

End of DISCUSSION.

So you can't appreciate a show of skill? That's bizarre. I like to give credit where it's due.

He didnt.

In fact he said that the tactics he used were quite intentional. Not what he would ideally have liked to show, but what was necessary. He adapted to the situation.

It was Ray Hatton, Rick's dad, who was asked if something was up with Ricky after the fight. He answered honestly. They seem an honest bunch. There's not many fighters who'll come out and say "Those punches really hurt me and I had to do what I could to win". But those were Rick's words after the fight.

Ricky's punch resistence has deteriorated after all the abuse he's put his body through during his career.
