Kell Brook vs Matthew Hatton March 17th, everyones thoughts??

[erics44]

its not really a waisted fight, its big in britain

there arent many boxers who are house hold names in britain and matthew hatton is as well known a boxer as they come, brook is better than hatton but not as well known

it will raise brooks profile to the none boxing fan on these shores, especially if its well promoted, we will get a lot of people watching who wouldnt normally tune in

it will also raise his profile in america, everyone in america knows who matthew hatton is and how well he fought against alverez, if brook can do a number on him his next fight will definately be either for a world title or as near as it comes

having said that CUMMON HATTON!

From a business perspective in Britain, I get it. It's important to develop a fan base there. From a fan's perspective, it's a sorry fight. He's ready for the jump. You know what fight would make more sense and still very winnable? Lure Breides Prescott up to 147 for a fight. Draws the comparison with Khan and builds a fight with him for the future.

perhaps most avid boxing fans would have like to have seen a bigger fight yes

the general part time fan is probably quite confortable with it tho, especially in britain

i know boxing and yes i would like kel to step up, i think he is more than capable of beating the best

on the other hand i love a big all british scrap, and this is a reasonable size, so im glad the two of them are fighting, it will be a big night for me

I don't know why everyone is hating on this fight. It's Britains number 1 vs number 2 and Hatton is a very durable guy. I'm looking forward to it. I'm a big fan of Kell, but Hatton's odd facial features, and Sloth of the Goonies style appearance will have me rooting for him to spring the upset.

Imo he totally won the fight against Canelo, not on a rbr basis but by mugging him off and making him look a tool for not being able to hurt this ridiculous looking pale man from Manchester, England.

I am intrigued if he can put up such good resistance against Kell Brook and make him look a total numpty too.

For me Matthew Hatton is the most ridiculous looking man in boxing. He is the equivalent of a fighter dressed as a bananna or carrot and climbing over the ropes to fight. The fact he is good enough to hang with supposedly world class fighters whilst looking like that is thus very amusing to me.

I wish him well and hope he can frustrate the hell out of Brook for my entertainment.
