Cant stand watching Hatton, hope he gets KOD and retires.

Hatton deserves everything he gets, the punishment (fighting for this belt after recently having a world title shot) of this fight is what you get when you fight twice in 2 years and lose.

If you're gonna be inactive, have the decency to at least win.

jesus, why are people so down on hatton?

i know so little about the other fella i couldnt call it, i hope hatton does him though

I'm with Eric on this one. I always hope Hatton does well. The guy takes a vicious beating at times but he's always still there at the end. If he goes into this guy's back yard and beats him he makes himself relevent at European level again. By all accounts he is being brought in as a named opponent for this guy, so he is expected to lose, but I hope he realises he won't have many chances left if he doesn't make a decent go of this one.

[outspoken]

I'll be rooting for Hatton. Always seem like a good guy with limited skills but a lot of heart to stand in there with Canelo and still be standing when the final bell rang.
