If Hatton has trouble here he'll need to really think things over, it should be a good chance to shake some rust off though. I'd imagine this guy will be easy to hit to the body, probably a fairly easy stoppage and chance to impress for Hatton.
A late round stoppage would be good he needs rounds. Anything less than 5/6 rounds wont do him much good.

I think it's safe to say that Hatton has picked this guy to draw comparisons with a certain magic man.
