On Friday night at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke on Trent, England, Hatton Promotions hosted a fightnight which would see Mathew Hatton face South African born Champion Lovemore N’Dou for the first defence of the IBO Welterweight Title which N’Dou won in July this year.
Bearing an impressive 59 fight record with 47 wins and 31 of those being by way of knockout – The Black Panther had faced a number of ‘quality’ opponents. This would be a big step-up for 'Magic' Hatton – a World Title win would propel him ‘out of the shadow’ of brother Ricky.
A packed Fenton Manor gave huge support to Mancunian Hatton but boo’d when Champion N’Dou entered the ring.
It was a close first round, with Hatton keeping busy but missing shots as N’Dou dips low. Both men start to settle in during the second round. N’Dou throws a decent swinging left to the cheek of Hatton – his punches are heavy, thudding blows.
Hatton sustains a cut to the left brow in the final minute of the round. N’Dou throws a right to the head of Hatton who counters with a good right hook (almost an uppercut) which lands on target. More...

Yesterday at Hatton Health & Fitness Centre in Hyde, England, Hatton Promotions hosted the official weigh-in ahead of this evening's fight night staged at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
It was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the smart new surroundings of the Hatton 'centre', where Hatton would weigh-in alongside N'Dou for the IBO welterweight title.
Hatton stepped up to the scales first - weighing in at 147 lb followed by N'Dou, who tipped the scales at 145 lb.
Both men were quiet as they posed for the usual 'face-off' photographs. More...

Ricky Hatton's younger brother, Matthew Hatton, takes on former IBF light welter titleholder Lovemore N’dou tonight at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke, England for the IBO welterweight title.
The last us Brits would have seen of both of these fighters would have been on the undercard of the Ricky Hatton vs Juan Lazcano fight in May of last year.
N’dou fought IBF light welter champ at the time Paul Malignaggi in a rematch, losing via a split decision while Hatton faced Craig Watson for the Commonwealth welter title, losing via a unanimous decision.
Since that loss, Hatton has had four fights, one of them being Ted Bami, another, South African hardman and older brother Ricky's former victim Ben Tackie. More...

Arriving in a red London double-decker bus, Mayweather and Marquez looked relaxed as they posed for photographs.
Mayweather - a six time world champion over five weight divisions - was tempted out of retirement to face Marquez - with an equally impressive record of five world titles in three weight divisions. More...

Last night there were three good cards in Europe and we kick off this report at Mehrzweckhalle Grossziethen in Shoenefeld, Germany.
European Union Light Middleweight Champion Jimmy Colas, 26-5 (11), was dethroned in his first title defense by Lukas Konecny, 39-3 (19), via majority decision.
Haitian born Frenchman Colas saw a seven bout win streak evaporate as ex-WBO title challenger Konecny of the Czech Republic was the busier and more effective man over the 12 hard fought rounds.
One of the most decorated of all women's boxing champions, Natascha Ragosina, 20-0 (12), kept her WBC Female, WIBF and GBU Super Middleweight titles with a stoppage of Trinidadian southpaw Iva Weston, 12-5 (1), at 1:19 of the sixth round, bringing the one-sided affair to a close.
At the Leisure Centre in Altrincham, England, Matthew Hatton, 36-4-1 (14), won a IBO Welterweight title eliminator by stopping former European Light Welter titlist Ted Bami, 26-5 (13), in the sixth round. More...

IBO Light Welterweight Champion turned back the clock last night in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand, pounding out a vintage high-pressure performance against IBF titlist Paulie Malignaggi for ten rounds until the New Yorker's corner threw in the towel just seconds into the eleventh frame.
Brash Brooklynite Malignaggi backed up his pre-fight boasts in the first round, catching the always advancing Hatton on the way in with sharp jabs but the light hitting IBF beltholder couldn't deter the Englishman from his pursuit.
In the second, Hatton struck the target with right hands on two occasions that shook Malignaggi badly and also began to mix in trademark left hooks to the body of his surprised foe. More...

As Las Vegas prepares for tonight's fight night which headlines Ricky Hitman’ Hatton vs. Paulie ’Magic Man’ Malignaggi, Mancunian Hatton promises to give the best performance of his career - but the camp's main concern is that the 5,000 British fans who have made the trip to Vegas don’t ‘boo’ the American National Anthem again this year!
There was some embarrassment last year when the Brits jeered throughout the Anthem for Floyd Mayweather vs. Hatton and - not wanting to upset American Officials - Team Hatton are hoping they’re quiet this time.
With a renewed enthusiasm - Hatton is looking to prove the skeptic's wrong - all those people that think he might be finished.
With new trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr subjecting him to a different training regime, Hatton promises to ‘thrill’ once more. But with so many changes - and without the familiar face of Billy Graham in his corner - psychologically, will it be too much for the Hitman? More...
