Light welter

The Results... 18% guessed the correct result with 23 votes out of 127!!!

(last bump)

5 Stars - Hatton Win KO
4 Stars - Hatton Win UD
3 Stars - Spilt Dicision (To either fighter)
2 Stars - Lazcano Win UD
1 Stars - Lazcano Win KO

With Lazcano being the sort of fighter who will come forward and attack i'm expecting a late KO for the Hitman (5 stars)

Though this looks like a nailed on win for Hatton, we have seen a recent upset with Witter losing, and on the back of a defeat Hatton might be a little cautious in the first few rounds, so there could be an upset.

...and by all means, as well as casting your vote, post your reasons for it.

I think Hatton will destroy Lazcano.

Lazcano will be under-estimated becos hes an unknown boxer and Hatton will do what he do best and that is KO.

It wud be some miracle if Lazcano won but Hatton is the outright favourite.

----------------------------------------------

This comment abviously comes from someone who only watches boxing on Sky Box Office, Lazcano is a well known fighter and RH is way too professional to underestimate ANY fighter. I totally agree with th earlier comment about a good long 'boxing' fight for Ricky but would like a nice juicy knockout at the end of it.
Come on RICKY.

Hatton will win but Mexican's are notoriously tough and I don't know if he has a knock-down in him for a boy like this - I think the only hope of it happening is going for the rib breaker again because jab's to this boy's head will do nothing (unless he can get a sly cut in around the eye)

I think if he loses he should pack it in just to show that he was the best but just couldn't keep it up rather than risk anymore defeats.

But hopefully he'll win because I like watching Ricky, strong lad, good fighter and actually fun to watch because he'll go forward!!!!

Hatton knockouts Lazcano rounds 1-8
odds varying between 12/1 to 20/1
get on it, its a sure fire moneymaker

Fully expect RH to win this one, an amazing number of people seem to have written him off since he lost to PBF.

Losing having moved up a weight to fight the P4P No1 is not the end of the world. Ricky is hardly the only fighter who has been outclassed by Floyd. He remains a world class boxer (probably top 10 P4P) just one whos limit has now been found.

So much for the great Manchester boxing public. The stadium is barely a quarter full and the Malignaggi N'Dou fight starts in 2 minutes. Why pay £100 for a ticket just to watch one Hatton fight that will probably last about 10 minutes??
