Saul "Canelo" Alvarez to headline HBO fight against Matthew Hatton - ESPN
Alvarez will definately be ready for Cotto/Mosely after this test!:rolleyes: I dont understand why Berto and Alvarez dont fight. Oh yeah it involves risk.

wow, just a couple of mile from my workplace. me thinks I should get a ticket. ;D
Remember when Boxing after dark debuted with Barrera vs McKinney war......jeezus now its putting on this puffer of a GBP showcase :oooh:
Oh dear! Poor Matthew Hatton.
Will the Hatton's be the first brothers to both be brutally knocked out on HBO?
I personally wouldn't mind seeing Matthew spear the corner post like his brotherQuote:

Could well be the end of Matt's career. I hope he is getting paid well for this.
Lets hope Matthew wins this to force the issue. Pacquiao has avoided Matthew Hatton for years!Quote:

Agreed on Berto, but be fair to Alvarez, he's still only 20. While M. Hatton is pretty crap, it's still good experience for Alvarez.Quote:

BTW, didn't Floyd mention Mattew Hatton as an opponent sometime ago? It have to be money in fighting a Hatton!!!(Love u Floyd - ;D)
This is going to end for Matthew how it always does when a Hatton fights in the States - flat on his back.
Canelo within 6.
Alvarez isnt the finished article yet but have you seen Mathew Hatton? fight he is'nt that good at all.Quote:

There is no way Floyd was ever going to fight Mathew Hatton imo.It would of gone down as one of the worst mismatches ever.
Although i'm not big on Alvarez, Matthew Hatton is going to get totally mauled in this one. I say Alvarez inside 4 without any problems what so ever......
Floyd vs Mosley was a mismatch - Mosley with a punchers chanceQuote:

Floyd vs JMM was a mismatch - JMM had no chance
Most of Floyd's fight was a mismatch. Not because of the lack of skills his opponent had, but how great his skills is.
What's your point, really?
They all had skills and have been world champions Mayweather is that good he makes people look crap even tho the are world class,Hatton is very limited in the skill department and has never been close to world class. Floyd would of got alot of stick for fighting someone that is so far down the rankings.Quote:

James Kirkland eyes March return after serving prison sentence - ESPN
Saul is a BIG Kid and still growing. Matthew Hatton will get stopped like Jose Cotto.
Hopefully in the future though we will see Saul fight bigger guys like James Kirkland or Margarito.
