Which fighter do you try to copy?

piss off mate, hatton isn't unhealthy at that weight and he throws way more body shots/head shots than cotto to. you want a bet? then sign away, i'll sign away when I get back to you. I'm willing to bet 30k. (obviously not all on you).

10k. its on. cheers. lets hope hatton is laying off the guiness...

Today at sparring I found out some of my strong and weak points.
- Weak: I get countered easily when fighting at long range. And my defence isn't that good either at long range. I think perhaps I should step back more quickly when getting punched at.
- Strong: I landed alot of shots while fighting at close range and didn't get hit with too many. (We were supposed to stand close to eachother, practically with our gloves against eachother like you see in many pro fights.)

So I suppose if I develop some more my style is gonna look a bit like Hatton's. I'm going to look at some of his amateur fights and see how he forced his opponent in close range.
I'm not sure if it's a good style as I'm not short for my weight and I don't know if close range combat is something that happens often in the AMs.
I'm definately also going to work on my weak points, but the close combat fighting felt alot more natural for me. I'm still quite inexperienced so maybe that's it.

Some feedback about this would be great. Thanks in advance!
