          16th(1951). Won his first title against Buchannan on the 26th(72).
          Beat Palomino on the 22nd(79). Beat Leonard on the 20th(80).
          Beat Davy Moore on the 16th(83)-his birthday. Fought Thomas Hearns on the 15th in 84. He also fought Camacho, Pazienza and Jorge Castro in June.

              What I remember most about that fight was that I took 3-1 odds that Hatton would win by decision. If KT comes out for the last round that would have been the likely result.

                I had money on that too!!! Wasn't bothered though was just happy Ricky won! I was there so like to have a cheeky punt on my guy when im at the fights but in truth my pick was actually Tszyu KO 3!
