Everyone has reasons why they lost fights, bottom line is that a loss is a loss, regardless of weight class situations or whatever else. With that type of thinking, there are a lot of fighters who have "never really lost".Comment

Ricky has also had to deal with a couple of light-middleweights in the pro's:
Rick remarked ‘ … So it was my 2nd pro fight and I was handed the honour of fighting at the home of the many great champions, past and present, Madison Square Garden, New York City. Just to fight at the Mecca of boxing was a dream in itself, and to emulate many of my heroes of the past by fighting in such historic surroundings was a terrific feeling and one I’ll never forget.
Ricky continued ‘…Anyway I’d only just turned 19 years old, it was my 2nd pro fight and I was in the States all by myself as my trainer Billy Graham was contracted to work in the corner for Ensley Bingham for a fight in England that night. It all started to dawn on me the enormity of the occasion; I was in a foreign country without my trainer, on the under-card of the Naseem Hamed – Kevin Kelley show, fighting in the Garden.
Ricky went on ‘…My nerves weren’t calmed at the weigh-in for the fight either, I got off the scales and they tipped 10 stone 2, which was great I felt, perfect fighting shape. I then watched this huge guy, Robert Alverez step up to the scales, his weight was confirmed at 10 stone 8, a mountain of a man with his body tattooed from top to bottom, he had so many tattoo’s I didn’t know whether fight him or freakin read him!! .’
Ricky continued ‘…Anyway I called Billy straight away and said ‘Billy this guys huge, he’s come in at 10 stone 8, what am I gonna do? ‘ To which Billy replied ‘ I wouldn’t worry to much about that Rick, if he was any good he wouldn’t be fighting you!’
‘Typical words of wisdom from Billy there’ said Ricky.
For the record Ricky won the fight over 4 rounds by Unanimous Decision.
Audience – ‘Ricky this one is for you, who has been your toughest opponent to date?’
Ricky – ‘ Gibert Quiros, I fought him in my 20th Pro fight in Detroit. His nickname was the ‘Animal’, and after being in the ring with him for 3 minutes I knew exactly why. He was a very tall, gangly Costa Rican with a big punch, when he caught me in the first round is was the hardest I’ve ever been hit. He opened up a bad cut over my eyebrow and closed my eye. I couldn’t see at all and god knows how I kept slipping the punches and they just kept zipping past my head, his punches were coming from so many angles I thought I was freakin’ surrounded.’
Ricky continued ‘… After the 1st round had ended, I went back to my stool and the ref came over and said ‘ I’m giving you one more round Ricky because you’re the champion’. To be honest I thought I’d blown it, I knew then it was **** or Bust, so I went for it in the 2nd round and managed to knock him out with a left hook to the body. That was easily my toughest fight, and last I heard Quiros had retired, so thank **** for that.’
(In my opinion the shot that took out Quiros was the most perfectly placed punch I’ve ever seen Ricky throw to date. Devastating shot, the equaliser of all equaliser’s.)
