Some Hatton Training Photo's (preparing for his fight with Oliveira)

[JUYJUY]

I believe these photo's are from December 8th 2004..

Prior to every single fight Ricky completes a gruelling 15 round training session with his trainer Billy Graham.

Billy dons the now infamous bodybelt and puts Ricky through his paces, literally taking the Hitman to hell and back.

It forms the pinnacle of months of training and is a very fast and very furious affair right from the off with the action actually gaining momentum as the rounds wear on!

Powerful left hooks to the body, triple jabs, screw uppercuts, leaping right hooks from a southpaw stance, right uppercuts to head and body before you can blink, super-fast four-punch combinations with his left hand and everything in between, Billy Graham pushes the Hitman to his absolute limit.

between rounds 6 and 7..

[JUYJUY]

Billy's already battered, bruised, and exhausted.. 9 rounds to go yet..




round 10..

[JUYJUY]

Billy is encouraging Ricky to finish with a flurry and is drawing him towards the ropes.. (calling Ricky names to fire him up!)


Only seconds left of the 15th and final round..



and he's done..

It's true that Ricky balloons upto 180-200 between fights, and that he does Nothing until eight weeks out from a fight. But the fact is that Ricky trains So intense that in two weeks he is at the weight in which he 'should' of entered training camp. Ricky is not a guy who trains to lose weight, he trains for his opponent. If your going to blow-up, the way Ricky trains is the way to lose weight. After four weeks, he is already at 140lbs and has to work up to eating six or seven meals a day by the time he gets into his last few weeks of training just to stay at 140. Ricky goes 12 rounds ALL-OUT for Monday, Wednesday and Friday - either with sparring partners or getting the body bag and pads out, he then does weight-training sessions after each workout. On a Tuesday and Thursday he tones it down abit and works on tactics. And his skills are top-notch, only fools think he isn't skilled because they don't see the angles.. and the variation of defence, his body balance and timing of forward movement.

When Hatton is training the intensity is unbelievable. Billy Graham is exhausted as well. Deserves everything he gets when you see the effort he puts in.

Hatton must have a lot of motivation training that intensely to fight a bum.
