But in other ways, that fight may also hurt him. The outcome of that fight seems to be shaping who he is - especially among his fans. It is almost as if his entire previous career didn't happen. Hatton stans are raving about Castillo's four broken ribs (never happened) and predicting that Ricky will annihilate FMJ.
Ricky is not that type of fighter. That Castillo punch was a lottery punch. Just like Nard's punch on Oscar was atypical for him.
Hatton's last few fights:
Castillo - 4 rounds
Urango - 12 rounds
Collazo - 12 rounds
Maussa - 9 rounds
Tszyu - 11 rounds
Oliveira - 10 rounds
Stewart - 5 rounds
Vilches - 12 rounds
Pedersen - 6 rounds
Tackie - 12 rounds
Rios - 10 rounds
Phillips - 12 rounds
His five-fight average prior to Castillo was ELEVEN ROUNDS. With that trend, I think it's fair to say that Hatton is more of a "wear you down" puncher than the "devastating" puncher that his stans try to paint him as. And that Ricky seems to be projecting himself as.
There is a reason that the over/under in this fight is 11.5 rounds...and it isn't just Floyd.
