Ron Borges in Boxing Monthly
Posted: 27 May 2006, 10:08
Did anyone read Ron Borges's report on the fight in Boxing Monthly? I refer to Hatton /Collazo. I believe Mr Borges is a highly respected writer in the U.S.A. who writes / wrote for the Boston Globe. Funny then that of all the words and analysis on the fight the most sensible comes from a man who for logistical reasons, probably knows Hatton less well than any other boxing journo.
Borges cleverly advises Hatton to ignore all the men in suits ( both T.V. execs and promotors ) and listen firstly and secondly to Billy Graham and only Billy Graham before he announces his next opponent. If Billy says screw 147 then it MUST be screw 147. Suits are only interested in selling tickets, telesales and making money. Billy Graham is only interested in Ricky Hatton. Sometimes it is astounding how a person can see more from the outside looking in than some insiders can see looking out.
For my money Mr Borges is spot on.
