Ricky Hatton defeats Lazcano on points as Manchester savours 'Homecoming'
By Gareth A Davies at City of Manchester Stadium
Last Updated: 3:31pm BST 25/05/2008
Ricky Hatton "got rid of the demons" with a one-sided points landslide against US-based Mexican Juan Lazcano, but came perilously close to being knocked out twice in his first contest since losing to Floyd Mayweather last December.
There were those yesterday who believe Hatton's scant regard for his own physical safety when he attacks should be a sign for him to retire. Hatton indeed retained his IBO light welterweight title in front of a home crowd of 57,000 fans at the City of Manchester Stadium, but it has left as many questions as answers.
Ricky Hatton defeats Lazcano on points as Manchester savours 'Homecoming'
Back in the ring: Ricky Hatton defeated Lazcano but came close to being knocked out twice
The imponderables over Hatton's future – and certainly a rematch with Mayweather – have grown since the twelve rounds on Saturday night. Hatton won easily on all three judges scorecards: 120-110, 118-110, 120-108. Hatton in now 44-1.
"It was a difficult fight," Hatton said. "I've never been more nervous in boxing match in my life, all those demons were in my mind about not coming back so strong." Hatton survived a first scare in the eighth round when he walked into a wild left hook from Lazcano. A left to the body then left the Mancunian temporarily stunned.
Hatton clung desperately onto the challenger while his head cleared then stormed back, battering Lazcano across the ring with three right hooks before the bell ended a frantic round. Hatton was rocked again by a big left in round 10, but gained respite as referee Howard Foster stopped the fights as Hatton's boot laces had come undone.
It clearly allowed Hatton to regain his composure. But his army chanted, sang and went silent with concern. One thing is certain, and will remain so: Hatton is a phenomenon, and has a following like no other.
The atmosphere was one to savour. Hatton said post-contest: "The hardest [fight] is now out of the way. Anyone who has been knocked out can tell you – it is a very over-rated experience. I was very nervous beforehand. You can't prepare yourself for how you are going to feel in the ring on the night. I felt confident, but nervous. I put pressure on myself.
"It was a very good fight for me; I think I hurt Juan nearly enough every round, put my foot on the gas, and it landed me in trouble. Even though I was a long way ahead on the cards, I always go for the knockout, and it gets me in trouble sometimes. I was nervous about losing. I needed to get rid of the demons. He did hurt me a couple of times, and disorientated me, but I weathered the storm."
For Lazcano, this was the 33-year-old Mexican's first bout since losing a 12-round decision to Vivian Harris in February 2007 in a WBC light welterweight title eliminator. It was also confirmed that a deal had been agreed for Hatton to face Paulie Malignaggi, who won on the undercard. The bout will be in November, with New York a likely location.
Malignaggi may have broken a knuckle in his right hand, in an unconvincing display defending his IBF light-welterweight title against Lovemore N'Dou – which included a haircut from his corner between rounds 8 and 9 as his braided extensions fell out across his face – but he believes he has the armoury to defeat Hatton.
"I don't think Ricky Hatton looked at his best. Nor did I. Some guys have come back from a loss in a low key way though, and look what this guy has done, and in front of so many fans. The way he looked, at my best I would have beaten him. When me and Ricky meet we will see who is the best at 140lbs in the world. He gets hit, and he was inconsistent against Lazcano. I've always seen things in Ricky Hatton I can exploit."
Lazcano disagreed. "Do you have a funny bone, Ricky ?" Lazcano asked Hatton in the post-fight news conference. "Because if you do, Malignaggi will tickle you to death when he hits you in the ring."
It was a point well-made. Hatton's ring entrance was both self-effacing and amusing. "He's never seen a salad, he's eaten all the pies; Hey Ho, Ricky Fatton," rang out the lyrics as Hatton emerged in a blow up suit under his robe, looking more mini-Sumo wrestler than slimline 10st fighter.
But the fight itself was his focus, and there were tell-tale signs that Hatton must not lose his head in the ring. The three-time world champion in two weight divisions, returned to his bullocking ways against an obdurate opponent in Lazcano, who came within a whisker of felling the local hero.
There were worrying signs in those defining moments for Hatton, and within his camp doubts must have re-surfaced over the sense in stepping in against Floyd Mayweather again. Retirement is a slim possibility, and with a three-fight deal on the table with Home Box Office in the US, Hatton's phenomenal ring career will most likely end across the pond.
Billy Graham, Hatton's trainer for the last 15 years, admitted as much. "I was worried. But I always worry. In round 8 or round 10, he rocked Ricky down to his boots. As soon as he hurt Juan, he just tried to finish it. I told Ricky he was well ahead towards the end of the fight, and to jab and move, but he never seems to make it easy for himself. But that's why the fans love him. But I think he should not gamble as much."
Lazcano added: "I take my hat off to Ricky Hatton. He talks the talk, and walks the walk. He's a true champion because he's willing to lay it all on the line."
Ticket sales – at 57,000 - topped the £6million mark, while another 20,000 fans could not get seats. No wonder Hatton called his supporters "the best pound for pound fans in the world."
Oscar De La Hoya, boxer and head of Golden Boy Promotions, likened Hatton's adoring followers to those who followed Mexican hero Julio Cesar Chavez.
"He has the same appeal," De La Hoya told The Daily Telegraph. "Ricky Hatton showed what kind of fighter he is in front of 57,000 fans. He showed he will be a champion for years to come. Styles makes fights and I think Ricky Hatton against Paulie Malignaggi is a superfight. Madison Square Garden is the mecca and we will look at the options, but a meeting of these two there could be a very special event."

Hamilton wins Monaco GP

Lewis Hamilton of Britain celebrates his victory with team manager Ron Dennis on the podium of the Monaco F1 Grand PrixStefano Rellandini/Reuters Lewis Hamilton of Britain celebrates his victory with team manager Ron Dennis on the podium of the Monaco F1 Grand Prix
MONTE CARLO -- Lewis Hamilton realized a boyhood dream Sunday by claiming victory in an action-packed Monaco Grand Prix to regain control of a furious fight for the Formula One world title.
After an early run into the barriers on a wet circuit as the rain fell, Hamilton managed to hold his nerve, becoming only the fifth British native to take the checkered flag.
"This is the highlight of my career, and it will be the highlight for the rest of my life," Hamilton said.
In claiming his sixth triumph in 23 starts, Hamilton joined Stirling Moss, Graham Hill, Sir Jackie Stewart and David Coulthard as being crowned king of the Principality.
"I apologize for hitting the barrier, but we made up for it," Hamilton said. "Now let's go party!"
Rainy conditions meant the race ran for the full two hours, with 76 of the 78 laps completed.
Rather than watching a dull procession around the tight, twisty streets of Monte Carlo, the public who pay through the nose for tickets for Formula One's blue ribbon event were given real value for money.
The first incident, though, was unexpected and occurred prior to the race unfolding, as Heikki Kovalainen failed to pull away from the grid for the warmup lap.
After Hamilton had made a superb start to pass Kimi Raikkonen on the run down to Sainte Devote, Jenson Button became the first on-track casualty.
It was the start to a catalyst of events, as the rain steadily fell for the first 20 minutes, and expected mayhem ensued.
Nico Rosberg and Timo Glock soon required new nose cones for their Williams and Toyota cars respectively, all within the first three laps.
Then Hamilton clipped a barrier on the entry to Tabac, puncturing his right-rear tire and forcing him into an unexpected pit stop.
However, by a strange quirk of fate it played into his hands.
Two-time champion Fernando Alonso slid into a barrier in his Renault, and like Hamilton he too damaged his right-rear tire.
Within seconds, Coulthard lost the back end of his Red Bull on entry to Casino Square, clouting a barrier and forcing him out of the race.
Coulthard then was immediately hit from behind by Sebastien Bourdais after the Frenchman had lost his Toro Rosso on the same part of the circuit, forcing the safety car into play.
Alonso made a second error when he punted into the side of Heidfeld at Loews hairpin as the incidents continued unabated, and still with only 14 laps run at that stage.
Massa almost joined the list of casualties at Sainte Devote as he slid off into the run-off area, allowing Kubica to take the lead.
Then the race and a drying track started to come to Hamilton, and as Kubica and Massa were eventually forced to make the first of their routine stops.
That allowed Hamilton to gain the lead on lap 33, one he did not relinquish until the checkered flag as various other incidents unfolded behind him.
"I felt comfortable and I knew I had a good car to challenge Felipe, but then as the rain came down there was so much spray," Hamilton said. "Through Tabac, I hit a river of water and slid into the barrier.
"But fortunately I was able to tell the team, and they reacted very quickly. They did a great job and without them, I wouldn't have won this."

Softball, almost certainly. It is a women's collegiate sport.
:?
yes, you see the young lady who hit the homerun has a pretty poor batting average [.153]; she's in her last year of play [a senior]. now, of all thing she hits a home run [ball goes out of the park]; she is so excited that she misses the tag on 1st base. the 1st base coach told that she missed the bag, but as she turned to go back, she fell to the ground with an injured knee. she crawled back to 1st base.
the umpire would not let them put in a pinch-runner without reducing the homerun to a single, nor would he let anyone from HER team assist her.
HOWEVER, the 1st baseman for the OTHER team who also happens to be the HOME RUN LEADER [she has the MOST!], asked the ump if SHE could assist her. the ump agreed.
so THE MEMBERS OF THE OPPOSING TEAM helped Sara [they carried her] go around the bases so that she got her home run!

Donating Israel Prize to Palestinians
IslamOnline.net & Newspapers
CAIRO — A prominent American mathematician has donated an Israeli financial prize awarded for him to Palestinian students suffering under the yoke of Israeli restrictions. "I decided to donate my share of the Wolf Prize to enable the academic community in occupied Palestine to survive and thrive," David Mumford, professor emeritus in the Department of Applied Mathematics at Brown University, told Haaretz on Monday, May 26.
Mumford has won the 2008 Wolf Foundation Prize in Mathematics, one of the world’s top science prizes, for groundbreaking theoretical work in algebraic geometry.
His contributions to mathematics fundamentally changed algebraic geometry and were the grounds for winning the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics, in 1974.
Prizes come with a diploma and $100,000.
Mumford decided to gave his share of the money to Birzeit University, near the West Bank town of Ramallah, and the Israeli group Gisha, which campaigns for free movement of Palestinians.
Right to Education
The world-renowned mathematician said he wants the Palestinians to have the same right to education as everybody else.
"I am very grateful for the prize, but I believe that Palestinian students should have an opportunity to go elsewhere to acquire an education," said Mumford.
"Students in the West Bank and Gaza today do not have an opportunity to do that."
"The achievements I accomplished in mathematics were made possible thanks to my being able to move freely and exchange ideas with other scholars," maintained professor Mumford.
"But the people of occupied Palestine don't have an opportunity to do that. The school system is fighting for its life, and mobility is very limited," he regretted.
"Education for people in the occupied territories gives them a future. The alternative is chaos."

Seliethia Parker always saw her role as protector for her 7-year-old daughter, Alexis Goggins. But it was Alexis who ended up saving her mother's life by using her little body to shield her mom from a fusillade of bullets.
Doctors told Parker that her heroic little daughter, who was shot six times, would never walk or talk again.
But Alexis has surprised people with her gritty toughness. She's not only walking and talking, she's expected to have a full recovery.
"Everybody's still kind of shocked. This is progressing a little bit more than everybody expected," Parker said on "Good Morning America" today. "They said she should fully recover."
Alexis was shot last December when she and her mother were about to get into a car driven by Parker's female friend. Parker's former boyfriend, 29-year-old Calvin Tillie, jumped out of nearby bushes and forced his way into the car.
They drove for several minutes before Parker's friend was able to pull over to a gas station, under the pretense of needing fuel. There she called Detroit police while Parker and Alexis remained in the car.
Parker pleaded desperately with Tillie not to harm her or her daughter, but to no avail.
"Me and Alexis was left in the car with him at gunpoint and he starting shooting," Parker told GMA.
Fearing for her mother's life, Alexis bolted into the car's front seat, crying out, "Don't hurt my mother."
"Alexis jumped over the seat to try and save my life," Parker said.
Using her tiny body as a shield, Alexis blocked six gunshots from hitting her mother. The bullets pierced her right eye, chin, cheek, chest and jaw. When police arrived to the scene, they found Alexis in a pool of blood, curled beneath the steering wheel.
Parker also had been shot in the side of the head and the arm.
Both Parker and her daughter survived, though Alexis endured two painful months in the hospital and underwent six surgeries. Despite doctors' prediction that Alexis may never walk or talk again, Alexis is thriving.
Alexis said she doesn't consider herself a hero and said she wasn't scared during the event.
"I saved my mom," she said and added she loved her mother a lot and didn't want to see her get hurt.
Parker has endless gratitude for her selfless daughter.
"She's my angel and I love her to death," she said.
The man who allegedly attacked the pair is charged with two counts of assault with intent to commit murder. Tillie, a former convict on parole, also was charged with other offenses.
