Ricky Hatton wins on home coming
May 25, 2008
All the build in the world wouldnt have been big enough for the manchester lad. A packed stadium in his home town watched as the Hitman tried to restore some pride after getting floored off Mayweather.
How did Ricky react early on..?
He started a little nervous as you would except but Juan Lazcano soon knew what the Hitman was about after getting caught late on in the first round. Ricky was on a mission and really targeted the ribs of Lazcano. He couldnt get the knock-out but he certainly gained total control early on in the fight.
What Happened late on in the fight..?
Ricky went down….no worries it was just a slip and he continued to dominate the fight. He continued to hit Juan but give credit to the opponent he just wouldnt go down. Come the end of the fight he could hardly stand but he wouldnt let Ricky knock him out. He didnt really look for the win and in the end it was very easy for Ricky to just catch him with body shots. The scorecards read 120-110,118-110,120-108. To the delight of the crowd, Ricky Hatton had won and started another winning streak.
Whats next for Ricky..?
Well after this convincing win his next opponent is likely to be Paulie Malignaggi who holds the belt. After that a possible rematch is on the cards as Hatton has challenged Floyd Mayweather to fight him on his “own turf”. Mayweather will probably fight as well because he loves the limelight and if he beats Ricky in Manchester it would certainly give him even more popularity and a nice pay-day would be in store as well.
For now lets just enjoy the victory and whatever lies ahead for Ricky.. it is going to be enjoyable.
