Follow the link. Good move by Hatton in preparation for the JLC fight. It'll up the stakes and I think he knows he cannot compete with the big boys at 147 so he is doing the smart thing and playing to his strengths and I think this rules out the possibility of a Hatton Gatti fight thankfully.
yeah I'd love to see Hatton-Gatti but Hatton-JLC will do just fine!
lets hope he doesn't slip up against Urango first!
Got no problem with this now i know its in prep for a JLC fight.
This is the title Hatton vacated right??
Hatton still Ring champ?
Yup this is the title he gave up in order to move on to bigger and better things.Quote:

It's gotta be kind of depressing for him, like leaving Russell Hobbs to go and work for Ferrari, then realising he can't cut it and has to go beg for his old job back making toasters and kitchen appliances.
it'll be even more depressing for him when he gets beat at 140 by JLC anyway.
What a pile of crap... Urango was easily outboxed and gifted the title
Excellant reply.Quote:

140 lbs. is still a strong division with a solid group of top contenders, gald to see Hatton coming back down to defend his world chamionship. He IS stilll the world Champ, no matter what garbage belt he decides to add to his collection he is and will remain until he is beaten or decides he misses all of that good ol english food he could still chomp on at 147. Urango isn't exactly a rubix cube, this should be a good workout for Hatton to work out some kinks, not to mention confidence problems he may have after what happned to him in Boston. urango will give hims so rounds, the boy can fight, but not nearly enough skill to dethrone the King.
You mean outRUN in a borefest of a fight, and won a title that neither him nor his opponent deserved to be fighting for in the first place. I like Urango and he has very heavy hands, I hope he stops Hatton dead in his tracks, becus he won't be the real champion until he defeats the real champion, Hatton. And what the hell happened to Castillo fighting Cotto?!Quote:

This time its ok cos hes grabbing a belt to make the Castillo fight a championship match, hype it up.Quote:

No because frank Warren (after getting dumped by Hatton) signed exclusive rights to show all boxing shows at the MEN arena just to stop Hatton fighting there. >:madQuote:

Easy win for Hatton...especially after the Collazo match. Maybe that's what they are lookin for in the first place.
A blowout...because that is what this will equate to...total mismatch.
