does lazcano have a chance?

never seen the guy fight, whats his style?

hatton got ko'd in his last fight.

whats gonna happen here?

 

No.

 

why?

 

Cause Lazcano is past his prime, and hasnt fought in over a year, and also because Hatton is simply just alot better.

 

how does lazcano fight? what does he do well, whats his weakness?

 

He's a brawler/boxer with decent skill. He had big power at 135, but not so much at 140. In his last fight he gave Stiffvian Harris a tough fight, but lost clearly. He also gave a good account of himself losing to JL Castillo 4 years ago. Castillo beat his ass late, but Juan had his moments. His best win was when he stopped a badly faded Stevie Johnston almost 5 years ago.

He wont beat Hatton. I wish he could, as I've grown to hate the Humpman, but he wont. Hatton will stop him in the mid-to-late rounds.

If Lazcano somehow did manage to win it'd be the biggest upset in boxing in quite sometime.

 

We will have to prey that Paulies right hand gets healed and he can school Hatton to save us from Mayweather-Hatton 2.

 

Yeah hopefully. I'll PRAY that Paulie embarasses Hatton. Theres no need for Floyd-Hatton 2. On the positive side Floyd would fuck Hatton up again, but Floyd REALLY needs to fight Cotto!

 

Hatton SELECTED Lazcano as a "Comeback" Opponent...

Nuff Said...

This will surprise a few but...

Yes, he has a shot. I think a Prime Hatton has no chance of losing, but I'd wager that Ricky's decline is more sharp than many would admit.

In fact, I'd be willing to sig bet on it. Hatton will win, but it will be a close decision...

MTF

 

Hatton is past his prime, but in this fight it wont matter cause so is Lazcano. And Hatton is just better, and naturally bigger than Laz.

Against Paulie, Hatton's decline may come into effect, but not against old man Laz.

 

Hatton is long past his prime and inactive.

He'll win, but it won't be pretty. At all. I'd not be surprised at all if Ricky lost a disputable SD.

That 'hump and dump' style has been exposed. Lazcarno might be the man to show as such.

MTF

 

Brah Lazcano hasnt fought in over a YEAR! And that was a loss to Stiffvian Harris. Ricky fought back in December and lost to the P4P best.

And the thought of Hatton losing ANY type of decision in England is laughable! The only way Lazcano is winning is by stoppage, and unless Floyd completely RUINED Ricky's chin, that wont happen.

 

I don't give him much of a shot....Lazcano has kind of suffered from the same thing that Hatton did when he stepped up weight....at 135 Lazcano was bigger and stronger than almost any other lightweight...at 140, like Hatton at 147, he doesn't enjoy those same advantages.

MTF has got a point though, against a faded Castillo aside, we haven't seen Hatton in dominant form for a while. If Lazcano makes this fight close, then that is a good indication that we are unlikely to see that version of Hatton again.

 

Look bro- everyone knows where I stand in respect of Ricky, and I expect him to win, but...

...He is no lock. He should be, but he isn't. That loss has been due for a while, and I think that Hatton is a long, long way past his prime. His frickin style is now a horrible mess, and anyone capable of countering is capable of picking him off.

Hatton won't lose, but I'll be betting against him. The odds will be very juicy

MTF

 

If Lazcano SOMEHOW makes it close, and Paulie dominates Ndou again, then Malignaggi should be the betting favorite over Hatton.

 

Exactly

Werren ruined a very good fighter. Hatton is now three years past his prime. He'll probably beat Laz, but it means fuck all. Hatton WAS a very skilled fighter, but that stupid style is a waste and a clear sign of a fighter in what might be a terminal decline... :dunno:

 

Your definitely overrrestimating how past it Hatton is. He's past it, but not way past it. If he was as past it as you say, he wouldnt have lasted 10 with Floyd, and he wouldnt have beaten Castillo.

Lazcano is a shell of the fighter he was 5 years ago.

Like I said, it'll be a factor against Malignaggi, because of Paulie's quickness and because Malignaggi is in his prime. But Lazcano is slow, and old.

 

:bears:

 

X, Hatton really is past it man.

Me, MTF and the other brits have seen Hatton since soon after he turned pro.

He peaked around the Tszyu fight, he'd probably already started to decline by then.

It's a combination of his lifestyle and style, it must be.

He used to be very fast, athletic, with excellent stamina.

He used to have very quick feet, he used to zip around the ring and cut the ring off brilliantly, his workrate was higher, and he'd still be bouncing around in round 12. And no dry humping.

He was a totally different fighter.

The reason he lasted 10 rounds with floyd is because he's always been a good fighter, and he is tough, with heart.

And castillo, well castillo is shot, and hatton can still punch pretty well, especially to the body.

 

Exactly. :clap:

I want Hatton to win. I expect Hatton to win. But the Hatton still fighting now is a shell of the guy I cheered on against, well, fucking Vince Phillips.

That Hatton was an energetic, fierce, hard hitting, underrrated, ring slicing Mofo. The Hatton left now drinks too much Guinness and Dry Humps instead of throwing shots.

Hatton will win, but I'll be laying him. Mex is right- we've seen Ricky for a long time, and THIS Hatton has declined. A lot.

MTF

 

Well I hope thats not a built in excuse for the Floyd loss, cause Floyd is past it also.

 

Lazcano gets picked apart, I wouldnt mind seeing him go to war with Hatton. Lazcano could very well catch Hatton in an exchange of fire, especially with the uppercut

 

Now that you've made a thread with the Jinxed Question...

Hatton will lose.

 

Paulie's fighting N'dou again??

I hate pointless rematches...

 

Would prefer to see Hatton just take his time and break this guy down but I am predicting Lazcano TKO 11 for the following reasons.

1. Rickys lifestlye. He hasn't learned, and has apparently had to drop huge weight again for the Lazcano fight.

2.The Location. Ricky might go out there and try too hard, and make mistakes. Lazacano is very Hatton-ish, and can go to the body all night. Hatton does not like it to the body.

3.Lazcano has nothing to lose, and will go into the fight thus. Hatton on the other hand has nothing really to gain. With Witter losing he may have switched off and decided he has one less rival to stay sharp for.

 

A slim chance because he's a world class fighter but I think even a passed it Ricky will break him down and stop him.


Hatton TKO9

 

Thats what should happen.

But bad things have happened to people from Manchester City as of recent....

 

How could it be? Me and every other Brit on the forum readily admit that Floyd would have beaten any version of Hatton.

He would have been more competitive, but peak hatton loses to floyd, he was never quite good enough to beat the likes of Floyd.
