Ricky Hatton breaks down Ray Oliveira

KO in tenth keeps Hit Man undefeated

Undefeated Ricky Hatton, Boxingtalk's #6 rated junior welterweight, knocked out Ray Oliveira in the tenth round on Saturday in London.  A Hatton right put Oliveira (Boxingtalk's #18 welterweight) on the canvas in the first round.  Hatton punished Oliveira, normally a very durable boxer, finally putting Oliveira down a second time with a tenth-round flurry. Oliveira dropped to one knee and signalled to his corner he had taken enough. Hatton appears to be as ready as he'll ever be for a dream fight against world champion Kostya Tszyu.  source: BBC
