Early excuse ???
.

So, the British Troll is making excuses for himself already…

possibly…

How did I know someone was going to say something like that ;D ;D now three have you have said it

Dan, youv’e been off line for 5 days!

Hurry up n check your freind requests :wink:

He he ok man, the 360 has seen some neglect cos I got exams coming up but soon we’ll rumbleeeee in the jungleee

How can it be an early excuse if the team are saying that he is over it now ?

I don’t think team Hatton (should they lose) are the type who would come out with excuses like so many other fighters do if they lose, I think they would be the kind who take it on the chin and then look to what the future holds

He’s not many excuses at all, he’s simply stating what is happening in his camp. “No preperation for a fight is ideal …” and “Things like this happen all the time, it’s a rough sport…” don’t sound much like excuses to me.

well it would be extremely negative of him to use it as an excuse before the weight in wouldn’t it? ::**

Na, im just playin anyway. Just peeved that this has happened so near to the fight and my main concern is he cant train hard enough to cut the gut!

Damage control already.

The gut as you say is already gone fella, I know your ‘just playin’ but if you read the other reports around, Kerry Kayes has said he is already below the weight they would like him to be down too at this moment in time ? so losing a couple of days of sparring they probably dont have weight issue’s surrounding that, at a guess that is ?

Thats not too bad then, as i say, the weight was my issue…
Never has been before, but then again, i dont think theres ever been a problem during camp for Hatton ???

Mind you, who knows, a couple of days sparring could of been the difference between a W and a L :-\

The injury was leaked prior to this statement - he’s just giving us the update, putting minds to rest rather than creating excuses.

I am looking forward to this fight - Hatton in Vegas, with Jose Luis Castillo on the undercard, is a great night of blood & guts hopefully.

did he have a similar “excuse” before the Collazo fight ???

Me too! Certainly has the potential to be a good night of quality fights.. I’m anxious to see how JLC looks there will be some ring rust but he’s a hard nosed steele willed SumBitch

a fighter is always gonna have some kind of pains going into a fight. only on a rare occasion is everything going to be 100% fight night. That’s when mental toughness comes into play, and Ricky damn sure have that ! sore hands , sore back, sore arms, it’s all part of the boxing game. you ask Ugando, and if he were to answer honest, he has some pains also.. However the idea is to conceal what ails you. look for Urango to target Rickys arms and shoulders in this match ! O0

Wecome to the forum mate. Clicked you for your troubles…Caution this place is bloddy addictive.

Taking the fight on short noticed was his excuse. Pretty stupid excuse considering Collazo also took it on short notice
