Thread: Hatton vs Tackie

Ricky's brother Matthew Hatton is taking on Ben Tackie in on the undercard this weekend. I think it will be a good fight, tackie is past his best but still a tough SOB, I think Matthew wins by decision and maybe gets floored.

I think this will be a lackluster fight, at least Tackie will keep throwing, but shouldn't be anything to trouble Hatton at all. As long as Matthew doesn't stand still, he should be ok.

How old is Tackie these days ... I thought he was just on the slide when Rick fought him..

35 years old. Never been taken out, but he's taken a lot of punishment over the years.

Cheers bud for that I thought he was a little older ... prob because he looks old .. and has the hard as nails look too which his record shows him to be or has been in the past at least .. should provide a decent workout then for Matt, who should come thru ok if he remains mobile and avoids a war....

I think Tackie will stop Hatton, I don't think Hatton will be able to avoid the onslaught.

Quite possible .. I aint seen Tackie in a while so aint up to speed with how he has looked of late .. but im gonna go see what I can find on the video sites.. but I do remember him being harder than a coffin nail and not often taking backward steps lol

Watson applied the pressure to Hatton throughout his last fight and he made him look poor. I believe that if Tackie can do this he can make this a very close fight. As people have said I havent seen him in a while so I dont know what his recent performances are like. But Hatton really did look poor in the last fight I saw.

As long as Tackie doesn't come to the ring with a zimmer frame.. i don't see how Hatton can win.

No disrespect to Matt Hatton, there's nothing wrong with being crap, but he is crap.
