Ricky Hatton Tactics

[Technical_Skill]

He needs to stay off the line period. Have you noticed how Hatton has a tendency to start the fight using good head movement to create angles to punch off etc, but then once he gets in a rhythm he abandons it and starts using less shoulder feints,head movement and he starts coming in on the line.

Totally, he goes back to old habits, and gets reckless. He's got Jermain Taylor syndrome, the inability to think tactically when hit hard or hurt.

But the opening line was spot on, I think 'he needs to stay off the line'. It can be effective at times, but he's stepping up in class against a fighter who has spent months preparing for him to do this. It cost him against mayweather who dialled in the timing on the front foot right hand and back footed left counter, Hatton had no plan B, game over. I think he's needs to be more clever in this fight because if he can't make the straight line game work and has no plan B against pacquiao thats his whole fight plan outta the window and he's getting knocked out.
