Time to start penalizing hatton for his excessive hugging!

[dino]

if he hugs too much in this fight the ref should take a point, somebody has to prove to hatton that in real american boxing excessive clinching it outlawed, this isnt wales dublin or where ever he's from.

do you think he should have points taken away for clinching 2:45 out of 3:00 minutes?

He should be thrown into UFC, he'd like it on the ground there.

OK Dino.. because yeah... NO AMERICAN FIGHTERS ever Hold....

And Hatton never Throws any punches.. All he does is hug hug hug..

STFU you tub of lard..

[kayjay]

If he gets penalized, that's not the end of the world. His goal is to win the fight.

It won't matter if Ricky get's penalised or not, he's still gonna win this fight

and for the record he's from Manchester England,

[Deeznuts]

Wow, Dino is finally green lol. Hopefully he will get penalized. I am hoping for a good fight. Even his hometown fans have to agree he does hold an alwful lot and we hate him for it. This fight has potential for fight of the year candidate if both guys come to fight.

He held a bit in his last two fights, particularly in his last one in the last three rounds. He still throws more punches per round than any other active fighter though.

Good post! Watch other boxers, then compare them to Hatton - do an honest count of times he holds and the number of punches he throws.

No other boxer receives so much undeserved abuse as Hatton!

I agree, most of this 'hugging' happened in the last fight and that was because he was ****ed and had just to get through it. I think it was quite professional of him as it was all within the rules of the game.

It's the way he fights, he also throws alot of shots when in a clinch.
Also did any of you complain when he fought kosta and hugged throw most of that?
I think he's more exiting than pbf, so are you gona take points of pbf for running all the time, at least hatton actually goes out to finish a fight and not careing if he gets hurt.
