He doesn't use it offensively, and Hatton wasn't hit by it at anytime with a significant amount of force. He sticks it out sideways to block hooks. Like I've said he uses his forearm in the chin to create distance and set himself up for shots which is cheap, but what he does with his elbows is fine.
That explains it. It's part of his shoulder roll.
