Hatton took real bombs from Kostya Tszyu and walked through them. That's a good chin.

Originally posted by lparm View PostI agree that Paulie was hurt but like I said in other posts despite being hurt he never went down. Now if he held to prevent a knockdown so be it there's nothing in the rules that says you can't hold another fighter. Watch some of the other fights I mentioned vs Lazcano and vs Urango and you'll see Hatton get buzzed and do some holding of his own to prevent hitting the mat. I predict the next decent puncher Hatton faces will KO him. If he fights Juan I see Hatton being broken down until he's stopped and if he fights hollywood or Manny both have the power to test Ricky's shaking chin.
I agree with your last comment, when Hatton does comes up against a "puncher", if he walks into shots, open, like the other night then he could well get KO'd.
