    I don't know about just awarding it, Pac seemed to earn it knocking Hatton's ****ing head clean off!!

    What's the bets Macklin fights for an IBO title next? Can Brodie still make feather? If so might as well give him a shot for that vacant title as well. Then Hatton could put on three 'world championship' fights. Four when Manny relinquishes his light welter IBO and Hatton snr fights for it. Thats four of his 8 fight nights sorted.

    Is a joke and very bad for boxing.

    Interesting comments all.

    What I am curious about is what do the forum posters actually think of the fight itself.

    Putting the title aside, is it a good fight for Hatton and can he beat Ndou?

    Doubtful we'll get to watch it here in Australia, but Lovemore has always been a favourite of mine.

    He's not getting any younger but still retains plenty of skills and will make for a tough night out for any opponant.

    Looking forward to comments about the fight, not concerned about the title.

    To be fair Hatton has 8 shows all have to be at brit level for Sky to show them. Macklin at Euro was one. Matthew Hatton at IBO level will be another. Who else has he got... If he ****s Matthew or Macklin over he will be tied to Sky until he gets another domestic talent or develops his stable (off air). He is just looking out for his business. If Matthew loses to N'Dou he can fall back on a brit title shot. If he fought Brook right away he loses one of his main fighters and will have to build him up again.

    I'm looking forward to it I have a soft spot for N'Dou and always enjoy his fights. I think he will out work Hatton to be honest and win a wide UD

    What do you mean? Talk about the actual boxing rather than bang on and on about the trivial details surrounding it?

    What a dumb idea......;)

    Fighters who are clearly not good enough for the domestic belts go the WBU and IBO route.

    It's a good fight, the only people who care about the titles seem to be the boxers themselves.

    IBO is below british title level. How can Matthew Hatton fall back to a level he is below after a loss???

    If you take away the BS belt, it IS a fairly interesting fight. I think N'Dou will have too much for Hatton and run out a fairly convincing points winner.

    Rob, while your concern for the people of Stoke is heart warming and I'm sure genuine, more cynicial ESB members than myself might think you were just using them in order to have a another little moan rather than really being too worried about them getting 'conned'......

    I say this on the beeps website. Makes me angry when promoters try to con the public. This isn't a world title fight and Hatton will lost a lot of fans for trying to pass it off as one.
