Hattons Body Shot Overrated

[richardgwaters]

To all those Hatton haters

I don't know whether I love or hate the bitching that goe's on over a true fighter, someone that can keeps you on the edge of your seats,and has got a following that would rival most individual sports teams, after all I am talking about the much hated and on the otherside a much loved RICKY HATTON.
A man that has maybe had a couple of decisions swing his way,but what the hell,the Americans have dodgy decisions on a nightly basis in boxing,and they are creeping more and more into the MMA fights.
Ricky is a true champion he loves his supporters, is a totally down to earth unpretentious man that goes out every fight with a come forward aggressive style that ticks alot of peoples boxes, which is more than I could say for the big mouthed, flashy media seeking, money grabbing talk a good fight,but rides a bike,so called greats like Mayweater. Don't get me wrong I don't hate americans there are some amazing fighters out there past and present that would still pack venues like the great ARTURO GATTI who would have been a dream fight of mine for Ricky after all I would rather watch those two fight than a running competition between the pretentious braggarts that want to climb the highest mountain and shout down on the people below how much they really love themselves.Also he is not afraid to fight on american soil which is more than can be said for the americans who probably think that they are to good to come and fight the big fights in the country where it originated.
Put it this way on any given night Ricky could beat anybody in the 140lbs weight division, not with ease, it would be a WAR, if he was american he would have won the US publics heart years ago with his come forward style.
So to all you haters that post your hater comments about Ricky, have you boxed a day in life probably not so really what you know about boxing you could write on the back of a postage stamp, and if all you Ricky doubters were to get in the ring with Ricky himself he would dump you all on your arses like he has done with the boxers and FORMER champions that have stood accross tha ring from him.
Go Ricky,The human highlight reel you will be much loved for many years to come and the world is your oyster.

Why do you need a whole thread to cry in?

No one hates hatton,

lets see him move up to 147 pounds now and mix it with the big boys, no more weight draining to make 140,

Oh and lets see him against a slick fighter too, no ****ers.

[BmoreBrawler]

it was a great shot no doubt, but Hatton was ripping castillo to the body all night.

he's 5-6 with short arms, he has almost no chance to beat the best at 147. He's a 140 fighter, only way he should move up to 147 is for a fan-mandated showdown with mayweather.

At least mayweather had the reach at any weight.

Shut up, arm length and height doesnt determine what weight you can win at,

Mayweather is 5'8 and won the WBC Title at 154,`


Hatton weighs at least 168 outside the ring, he is not a 140 pound fighter, he weight drains, everyone knows this.

[oldgringo]

God it was just brutal. The expression on Martinez' face says it all.

It almost looks like he muttered the words "OH ****"...and just buckled.



It's all the way at the end. Poor video quality, but it's watchable. I had the fight in much better quality and his facial expression is priceless.

No way was it overrated, Castillo is one tough guy he's not gonna just fold up from anything.

[tyson]

Overrated? This is unbelievable!
Does a person have to die for you to be impressed?
That bodypunch would knock down anyone up to at least 160. It was a surprice punch that Castillo didn't see. I'm impressed he actually managed to keep himself up for a second after it landed...

He didn't give up, and he wouldn't stand a chance to straighten himself up, even if he rose from his knees.

I know this. I've broken a rib in sparring. I dropped like a *****.
I couldn't breathe, but I tried to get up several times. It was impossible, and I was on my knees like Castillo for over 1 minute before I even managed to talk.

So unless you know what you're talking about, don't *****.

I think it was a really good shot but doing 360 spin makes it look more like he was acting I seen fighters get hit will A hard body shot all the time and go on one knee and then get back up again that why I brought up the bernard oscar body shot is because alot of people think it was a fix whether you believe that or not at least he was I the floor looking like he was seriously hurt but the only thing that made it look su****ous is when he pounded his fists on the ground.

[porlie]

de La Hoya pounded the floor after Hopkins put him away with the liver shot, body punches hurt you different to head shots its not like you cant function your arms still.
