Hungry Hatton Out To Prove Naysayers Wrong Against Lazcano A red-eyed Ricky Hatton staggered into the room after a night on the town. • Quietly, he sat down in a small conference room adjacent to the MGM Grand Garden Arena, his features and demeanor betraying the raw emotion of genuine grief as he faced the full gathering of British media. • His words were drawn out but he spoke with a heartfelt passion. • “I’ll be damned if Ricky Hatton is going to finish [fighting] after getting knocked out for the first time in his life by someone,” Hatton said. “No chance. You all know me and you know that I’d rather die than finish on a loss, lying flat on my back. Now could you please switch off the camera before I start crying?” —Brian Doogan, sports.espn.go.com

447-5s14lazmugstandaloneprod_affiliate4.pngJuan Lazcano Keen To Exploit Ricky Hatton Weaknesses In Manchester Juan Lazcano believes that Ricky Hatton’s return to the ring so soon after his first defeat is a brave move, yet premature, and explained his plans to exploit this against the Mancunian, still considered the world No 1 light-welterweight prize fighter. • Lazcano admitted yesterday he took two years away from the ring following his first career defeat back in 1994 – partly to grow up, partly to recover emotionally - yet the 33-year-old Mexican-born fighter feels he is facing Hatton at the perfect moment. —Gareth A Davies, www.telegraph.co.uk
