In Rusty’s Corner
The major fight this weekend takes place in Manchester, England when two seasoned veterans meet.
Ricky Hatton, the hometown favorite goes up against Juan Lazcano. Both these fighters are getting up in years, and neither is that big a puncher, although Hatton tends to inflict a bit more damage.
Picking a winner here looks to easy, as both fighters have good chins, but Hatton has refused to lose at home. That being said, the logical choice is Hatton by decision, although I wouldn’t rule out a TKO.
