disappointing matchup for this hatton fan Im afraid....
I agree

Also why the hell is it in December??

Thats seven months after his last fight? I think his lifestyle will catch up with him pretty quick if he keeps having these long breaks between fights, im suprised this isnt in Sept/Oct?

I think fighters like Hatton should have maybe 8 weeks off after a fight then back into it, but when he is having nearly double that, and also what he does to his body it cant be good.
There is no reason why a pro like Hatton cant be fighting a solid 3 fights a year and in that time take on an "easier" fight like this one....I would have less of an issue with the fight that way....but this 2 fights a year business and talk of retiring around 30, well, it just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth when he is fighting someone as little known as Urkal....

Very frustrating to be honest....
