John Mugabi v Matthew Hilton at 154 for 15 round IBF title
I think this is a top drawer matchup , 2 great punchers with big power.
This makes my mouth water , Hilton had a great chin and strength but maybe lacked the variety and stamina of Mugabi.
Magabi had a good jab and power to put the lights out.
Id like to think this cud have been fought in a phonebox i personally see Hiltons face busting up and maybe getting stopped on his feet but your opinions are welcome as its a hard one to call

I think Hilton was a little more skilled the the beast. I would take him on points.

Never seen Hilton fight, I've seen his brother Davey fight, but not Matthew. I have looked up both their records, and it is apparent that Matthew was the better of the two. He beat the hell outta Vito Antefuermo and Wilfred Benetiz, both were old, but good names to have on your resume. Honest to God truth, my Father fought in his lone amatuer fight on the undercard of Matthew and Davey Hilton. Both were boys, one was 12, the other 10 or 11, and they fought each other. My pop says that they both had unbelievable amatuer records at such a young age, and were very talented. He didn't learn untill years later that Matthew had become a World Champion.

Matthew was clearly the most talented Hilton. But like his brothers Davey and Alex he couldn't let the streets go.

my prediction here is that Hilton wins. I hate to say it. Mugabi gave a great Hagler a good fight, but Marvin was off and was inactive when he fought John.. Marvin was not right that night.. Hilton would probably win.. Yet if you put a prime Hagler in with Mugabi or Hilton he beats Mugabi in 5 and Hilton in 5.
