I needed plastic surgery after that. But, if you notice, shortly after that, when the fights were getting tougher and more cuts should have appeared I never got cut because of that experience.
You learn as you go along. Is his stamina going to be all right? But if you remember the fight I was like a train, the fight was miles per hour. He kept in it because he could see the cut and I kept my foot on the gas because I was thinking this could get stopped at any time.

They were cheering for one of their own. It was like they were cheering on a mate because they could always relate to me. I probably knew half the people that were there, either had a pint or a chat with them. I would go right through it. It was just the atmosphere, it was a really special atmosphere. It was gruelling, hard fight. You have to take your hat off to him as well. One last round. Just try and summon one last bit of energy.
What followed in his career were a string of battles against decent, world-level fighters. More marquee names would come later but Ricky did not have things his own way with hardmen like Carlos Maussa, whom he sensationally knocked out in nine, and Luis Collazo in Boston, who seemed hard-done by to lose a decision. That was for the WBA welterweight crown but it showed that Ricky was best served at light-welter, where he returned to defeat future IBF champion Juan Urango over 12 physical rounds.
Again it was untidy, however, and Hatton needed to deliver when he stepped in with the fading, but still well-regarded Mexican Jose Luis Castillo. There was not a great deal between them until the fourth, when Ricky snapped his opponent in half with the best body shot he ever threw.
