Ricky Hatton To Face Steve Forbes in Manchester? - Boxing News

He might get caught out in this fight by Forbes speed,its awhile since we have seen a good Hatton performance if you take away the Paulie fight.He is past his best but i still feel he can win a close fight on points with forbes.

I dont think its a good idear to fight at 147lb if he wins then he will probably move back down to 140 its not a good thing to be going up and down weights.

Wow that is intresting that its at 147, maybe Hatton was struggling with his weight. I think Hatton sparred many rounds with Forbes before the fight with Castillo, hes not the biggest of punchers. Im not sure what to think about this, I honestly think Forbes could win this.

Forbes could win but he's not much of a puncher. Would this be a going away fight or is he sticking around?

Im not sure to be honest? 147 whats all that about? I hope its his final fight win or loose.

That was my first though.

Why at 147?

What was you expecting after a 2nd round loss?

On another note what has happened to the Hatton site??

Just tried getting on for some more info and redirected to another site? Anyone else get this?

Forbes has possibly the best chin in boxing and I can't see Hatton hurting him in any serious way, however, he doesn't have the power, so it would be a close Hatton win on points with the judges probably being more favourable to Hatton than they should

Steve Forbes Lol!

Good fight for Ricky to close his career. Forbes is a good fighter but not a big puncher. Ricky should beat him with his workrate in a competitive, fan friendly fight. Forbes could beat him though if he fights with fire, but although more skilled than Ricky imo, he doesnt usually fight with that something extra to put him over the edge, though he has looked good in recent showings.

An opponent.

knew he would step down in class some way - but don't know much about Forbes, saw him against Oscar and thats it. Looked game and durable but ordinary.

Probably perfect opponent if its a low key confidence booster just thought Ricky would go for a one big last oay day if he was fighting again against a big name (but not a big name at the top of their game )

Its been like this 4 weeks now.very strange

Why is it at 147lb he seemed to be making the weight ok at 140.
