A good acquistion in my opinion, will hopefully get him back to his best. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7596348.stm Something different for Ricky, can only be a good thing I would have thought.

Awesome news for Ricky. Both Beard and Mayweather will not constantly use the body bag, they will coach pure boxing skills and combinations into Ricky and this could alter his style slightly. He realises his next fight is make or break and this step was needed. Great move!

A bit random i know but did anyone go to the Hatton/Mayweather fight and actually get tickets for inside the arena?

I wotched it on the closed circuit in the MGM but wondered what it was like inside.

(sorry as it will probably been mentioned before but i cba to read 40 pages)

Yes mate, I was in there and it was terrific pre-fight and the first 2-3 rounds. The noise level seemed to lower quite a bit though as I think the reality of the enormity of the task that Rick was facing was starting to sink in to people.

As disappointing as the outcome was though, I'm extemely glad that I can say I was there.

Bit gutted now at the upcoming one, as it looks as though I won't be able to make the trip.

Is this part of a plan? That Hatton really wants to fight Mayweather Jr. again?

Is he still telling people how brilliant he is and how he's going to dominate the heavyweight division?

Good fight is this Cook/Arthur, pretty close for me and could go either way in these last 4 rounds.
