Hatton-Urango: Is it a step back for Hatton?

[PATO 1]

what fight did you watch

at no point did he almost get tko'd

have you not seen the last round

hatton clinching every 3seconds

yes i have seen the fight at least 10 times

and when someone throws punches in your face constantly you become confused


hatton stayed on his feet when most would'nt and if the ref had stopped it he would have been slain for being the worst ref in history

In some ways I've got to admire his balls for doing this in front of the entire world stage.

How any many other fighters would basically be saying "I'm crap at the new weight, I'm giving it up as a bad idea." It must take balls the size of boulders to do that.

As for the fight, yeah, it's a step down, no question. But it depends what comes off it. If he unified the entire 140 division 100%, took on Castillo, then somehow got Cotto and Mayweather in the ring I'd say fair enough. IF...

Who is Urango? Never heard of him.

I thought the fight was going to get stopped.
So did everyone else in my section.
Even though I was rooting for Ricky, I was yelling my head off.
Had Collazo followed up with more shots it could have been stopped.

This is definitly a step back for Ricky, Urango has 18 fights and is coming off a bull**** win against a relative nobody.

[BuddyChacon]

It is kinda like a tune up in my opinion with him facing Castillo next hopefully.

it's a huge step down if you ask me. It's like Hatton is doing everything in his power to disappear. turning down Mayweather twice, almost losing to Collazo, and coming back down to Jr. Welter with his tail between his legs to take on....URANGO?!? The guy who's only a champion because of the biggest robbery I've ever seen in a boxing ring. This is a joke, but I'm glad Hatton is going to punish Urango for even acting like he won 4 rounds against Ben Rabah. I hope Hatton knocks this dude the hell out and early.

Seriously though, I don't think for a minute that anyone believes Urko from the POTA TV series is regarded as a legitimate opponent, do they? I mean, it's just a stepping stone to something else, surely? No one's claiming any different...are they?

hatton was confused not hurt

but i agree with most people that at 147 hatton just wont cut it based on the collazo fight

i so wanna see hatton vs floyd at 140 though ( contradicting styles could be fight of the decade )
