Ricky Hatton: "If Canelo is overweight, Matthew withdraws."

The rules are the rules

 

1st time i heard this. thought it was at 154

 

Strange for a LMW (154) bout, but Matty takes a beating anyway.

Lucky it isn't "Canelo" Alvarez: "If Ricky is overweight, Matthew withdraws", then we're sure the bout is off.

 

Same here....WTH how come this didnt get talked much about?

 

this is Bull****...they both are the same size and have been fighting at 150 lately.....

 

More of a tactical/mind game than a real threat, Matton won't throw away his gift world title shot. Contract weight was 150lbs, but the WBC said something they can go up to 154 and probably Canelo trusted that as 'official' and doesn't bother with his weight. IMO Hatton hopes Saul will now try to make 150 out of respect and late loss will have an effect on Canelo's physical/mental condition. Physically, for a natural WW who never weighed more than 151 that shouldn't be a problem. Mentally - maybe. But one thing is for sure: Canelo is a good kid who looks for no unfair advantage. When Baldomir noted he'll not be able to make 150, Alvarez said come in at 154 and keep the penelty money for your family.

 

So another belt for a catchweight.

 

I forgot about that. He is a good kid just still young and will make dumb decisions from time to time.

 

What dumb decisions for example?

 

Quite right if he dont make the weight, **** him he knew the weight he just wants to take the fine and have the weight advantage.... That is not fair and you couldnt blame mathew hatton for pulling out, even if he is a twat.

 

Calling out JMM who is a LW.
Fighting for a title so young.
Not clinching when he was hurt against Cotto. Although that definitely won the Mexican fans over. I know. I was in a room with my dad and his friends.
