    anyone notice ricky not going to the body?

    just something i picked up. whenever they were in close, and floyd had that hand up blocking his face, ricky could have gone to the body. most of the time he didn't. that's where he could have won. that's where, in my opinion, castillo won the first fight vs. mayweather. oh well, maybe cotto can take advantage of this if he gets a shot...

      Dude. Ricky neglected the body. Big time. I said that since the start. When he did land, they landed good, but no effect.

        Yeah he did especially in the last rounds. Floyd was dominating the inside fighting with Hatton basically just trying to bully Floyd up against the ropes then not landing much. Floyd would land some inside shots and create some distance from Hatton and drill him again. He took Hatton out of his game and Hatton went into desperation mode and forgot about the body.

          Yeah, what happened to all that body bag training? Didn't see much of that at all in the fight. At least throwing while in close, he wouldn't have got caught as hard as he did trying to throw on the way in at the end.

            He landed a few early.

            He was smothering himself. Didn't provide himself enough space to really unload.

            Shame.

            I want to see him drop down to 140, batter Witter and Malignaggi. And call it a career.

              He has a future as an announcer or commentator also.

                I was yelling at the TV in the later rounds for him to throw more body shots.

                  I was arguing with my famly them iggnat ninjas dont know boxing they thought Ricky was legal when he bent FLoyd arm like Beckham in the first round.....I said man FLoyd could do what ever he wants you see Ricky aint hitting the body everytime they on the inside FLoyd lighting his stomach up, making him fart & **** on his self. I dont know how the Judges where scoring the fight being he was barly landing 6 punches per round against Floyd

                    For Sky Sports I imagine since it's hard to tell exactly what he is saying with his accent which by that I mean no offense.
