Ricky Hatton in his prime never particularly struggled with punchers, he struggled with quick handed fighters with pop as they could hit him with shots he couldn't see. He fought most of the fight on the inside and got there quick. I see this happening against Maidana, who can't really fight on the inside. Unless Maidana hits a jackpot, which is very unlikely with a prime Hatton, as he was more careful with punchers, Hatton wins pretty handily on points for me. Hatton sets a crazy pace, and doesn't let you rest, Maidana takes rests in all his fights, so this fight isn't good for him.
Hatton will use variety jabs on the way in, and tie Maidana up, and work him over, occasionally taking fire on the way in, and some body shots on the inside, but generally Hatton controlling the action.
