Ricky Hatton Buckled, Outworks Juan Lazcano To Win

[RL_GMA]

LOL @ you Brits.

Hatton was clearly hurt. When the ref broke them up after Lazcano hit him with the hook Hatton tried bouncin and was on wobbly legs.

And that whole situation with the ref? Completely ridiculous. Lazcano threw a hook to the body as Hatton was falling forward and that's when Ricky got his 50 sec break.

So basically Hatton will fight Malignaggi and then fight Floyd?? Gimmie a ****in break...

Hatton came nowhere near dominating Lazcano in the manner Cotto did Gomez. Seriously. You're delusional. Gomez got absolutely dominated every second of every round.

I never said the fights were identical I merely stated the sentence could apply to both fights, minus the point about the knockdown of course.

So you mean when every fighter in every fight takes one step towards the center of the ring and the ref doesn't immediately take 10 more seconds to scold them and put them in the corner... they're at fault, not Foster?

You really have to stop trying to put words into my mouth. Foster separated the action, that is his perogative, he obviously wanted to get a message across to Lazcano who wasn't listening which is why he had to push him back. The referee acted in the correct manner and the timescale is not anyone's fault. The fact that Lazcano could barely throw a punch when the action resumed should tell you all you need to know about who needed the break.

While he has only been stopped once, against Luis Collazo he was completely out on his feet, even much more so than against Lazcano.

Yet he didn't go down and recovered to win the round. Not typical characteristics for a weak chinned boxer to display.

There was only ever going to be one winner tonight and the same applied in the Cotto fight. Hatton landed twice as many punches as Lazcano and won almost every round with Lazcano looking like he could go at any point.

That's a nice spin on your original comment.

The scorecards may have been onesided, but Hatton/Lazcano was way more competetive than Cotto/Gomez, infinitely, so much so that the parallel you make between the two bouts suggests delusion on your part.

Cotto landed three times as many punches as Gomez. 2/3 of those were big shots which ultimately damaged Gomez to the point where it would have been murder to let him continue. How many of the shots Gomez landed hurt Cotto? Exactly. One arguably shaky moment from Cotto in the whole fight. **** was a massacre.

Hatton/Lazcano, not a massacre. Not even close.
Also, Hatton could have been in real trouble if not for some favorable refereeing.

yes hatton was winning easily but so was arce in the arce-carbajal fight and look what happened. won almost every round then got stopped. lazcano gets his chance in the 10th and the ref intervenes and saves hatton so we will never know what would happen. knockout or nothing we will never know only make wild accusations. as fans all we want is a fair shake and we didn't get it.

hatton did not win the 12th round against collazo you psycho. he actually did go down when collazo hit him with a huge punch and he stumbled into collazo and collazo let him fall but it was ruled a "slip"

You really believe that Hatton won the 12th against Collazo?


You are too much.

It was a slip. What I meant to say was Hatton won the rest of the round.

You are too much.

After the flurry of punches where Hatton looked like he could be in trouble he recovered and dominated the remaining proceedings.

The final round of Hatton/Collazo isn't currently on youtube.com.

Lucky escape for your credibility.

It's not spin at all. You, and some others it seems, just have problems reading and understanding what people actually say. At no point did I begin saying the fights were identical, my point was made strictly in relation to a one sentence description of the Cotto Gomez fight and my point was that Hatton completely dominated proceedings tonight. There is unquestionably a greater gulf in class between Cotto and Gomez than there is between Hatton and Lazcano but that is irrelevant and tonight's bout was very one-sided although I take my hat off to Lazcano who gets full marks for effort and durability.
