Matthew Hatton, let's cheer the 21st century Christian thrown to the lions.

Ok, so he's clearly been handpicked as a lamb to slaughter.

Let's see how far he can go.

This fight is entertaining to me in that I will laugh every round he makes it through.

If Alvarez doesn't get him out of there inside 5 or 6 rounds it will begin to look rather embarrassing for him, and I'd kind of like Hatton to just hang around and fuck things up for HBO with his shitty crowd angrying style.

For my own amusement I kind of want him to spoil his way to the end of the fight and for it to be a stinker, just to embarrass whichever bright spark at HBO's idea it was to have the world's dullest man in a headline fight on their network.

Come on Matthew, you can do it, drag it out to the distance and make this fight the kind of dreary snoozefest that only you can!

Totally, I would be delighted if Hatton can stink it out to a decision. I'm not keen on Alvaraz at all, he's a hype job and a cheat. He is fast reaching Amir Khan levels of notoriety. All it will take is a headbutt to make me see red.

Also Magic? Surely that is irony. His nickname should be marble, as he's white and will shatter when dropped tonight.

Sweep the leg Matty!! Get em a bodybag!

I've decided to dislike Alvarez too. I could change my mind I guess but I'll attempt to keep a closed mind.

Two words: Set-up

Shouldn't we at least expect the "champions" to earn the strap before they have their 'Showcase' debut....pays to know Oscar. And vice versa :-X

??? Did he just say GBP promotions along with Canello Promotions

I know, and a ginger world champ? Do we really want this? What kind of message does it send out that a ginger haired person can win a title now?

haha just watching Hatton shadow box makes me laugh. :D

Come on Hatton!

See and people moaned about the Pikey comments, but nobody will moan about this. I'll cry if Alvarez wins it tonight. One small step for him, one giant step for ginger-kind! C'mon fellow firecrotch!!! ;D

why is avlarez wearing winnings again?

hes gonna give hatton brain damage



and how were they able to set a catch weight of 150 for a 154 title?

so he didnt make the catch weight but made 154 so its still a title fight?

Woody Harrelson run amok

This is a shocking HBO card really. To think Kellerman just said it would be like "me and you gloving up for a belt". So why the fuck are they justifying this shit with airtime? Hypocrites! Lame.

Go on Matty, shock 'em all!

Haha, I'm watching Strikeforce on Primetime. Will watch Hatton on Sky tomorrow.

Come on cinnamon bun knock this pastey, ghost looking brit back across the pond. :p

Angulo vs Alvarez.....MAKE that fight. Hatton should kick him...

Anyone else think Alvarez was under orders to let this go more than one round?

One sided, but only eleven to go. Come on!

primetime is that channel that airs all the showtime broadcasts with the american commentary? (or at least it did at one point)

thats why he is wearing winnings, he had to get some work in :D

wow man, ricky hatton looks fucking terrible, what the hell happened to him?

I'm surprised his family came to the fight. They are sitting there like they genuinely thought he had a chance? :o

His face wont make it past 6 at this rate.

Alvarez and defense will never be confused...he has legs like David tua......this is like watching Nascar

Hatton looks sickly. They both look creepy.

I'm a Matthew Hatton fan. The way he stares at his trainer when he's in the corner makes me laugh for some reason.

Anyone watching Victor ortiz in bottom row pointing to his twitter ?? Ya know....Hatton not exactly in awe and falling over himself...

haha you are cracking me up in this thread Ouma.

I'm rooting for Matthew, he is giving it a real go at least.

wow, hatton is lost now

did roy jones just call hatton and his brother gay?

i missed what he said


did he say game?

Oh no .. I see another scary hatton type ko coming .

Hatton is showing real resolve.

I almost don't want him to get knocked out.

I'm going to the bathroom now, so that almost guarentees Hatton will get ko'd right now...

He had that "are you throwing snowballs at me" epiphany in that round....punching through him big time

outclassed, overpowered and undersized. Hatton is like a ragdoll there.

Credit to him, few thought he'd get this far. Every round he goes beyond six will just hammer a nail into Alvarez's career coffin.

Powder isn't that bad of a fighter really. Put on his level, at his weight, he's definitely serviceable.

Sure, is. But getting busted up bit by bit.

Still, nearly made it to half way. This is an outrageous matchup and for it to be for a title and with one being a long way from not even making weight? Totally uncool.

Come on Hatton, dig in there!
