    Agree, El Maachi won prizefighter and his name gets mentioned in the same sentence as Brook. El Maachi wouldn't get past 6 with Lynes, Purdy, Hatton.

    You can see why Eddie would talk about El Macchi - after all, Prizefighter is his baby and he needs it to be taken seriously. Imagine the press future PF winners would get if there was a regular president of previous winners going on to fight for world titles?

    For Prizefighter to continue to be a success, and perhaps to expand globally, it needs to be proven that winning the tournament creates a star, not just wins £32k.

    Obviously El Macchi is no way deserving of a shot at Brook, but he would only be of a similar outsider as Karpency.

    This,you are spot on.
    If it was El Macchi then i would be dissapointed in Eddie and then people could accuse him of being a hypocrite,but it wont be,it will be Hatton which is fine and 10 times more interesting then the Clev fight.

    I'd be disappointed if it's Yassine but it's actually a dangerous fight more dangerous stylistically then Matthew Hatton. I prefer Kell to fight Matt cos it would be more attacking fight rather then two guys sitting off being wary of each other which i think would happen if Kell fought El Maachi.

    Hatton is leagues above Karpency.

    Have the WBO published their new rankings btw?
