    I'm confident that Brook will win over the stretch. I have my doubts about weather he can stop him. I mean Alvarez threw just about everything but the kitchen sink at him and failed to get him out of there. Hatton is one durable dude...

    plz share your own thoughts.

    I don't think so. I can't believe the hiding he took over the water. If he does get stopped you got to call on his being shot or Alvarez's power, which is annoying.
     
  3. Not for me.

    The likes of Miguel will be lumping on Brook by KO though so I'm sure the odds for points will be tempting come fight night.

    Yes, Hatton will take a prolonged beating & the ref will stop it at some point in the 2nd half of the fight

    Only if the ref jumps in prematurely...
     
  9. Yeah, British stoppage side it's unlikely.

    There's little to be gained by either man receiving a questionable stoppage here, it's a pretty high profile fight between the two best welters in the country.

    Hopefully we won't see Phil Edwards as the man in the middle.

    No, Hatton has one good thing, and that is his chin. The gulf in class however, is going to be biblical, and I look forward to enjoying that cun Matthew Hatton getting pounded all night.

    Nowhere near enough power to stop him. I mean for all the stick MattHatt gets, he can take a beating thats for sure.

    I think Brook scrapes past him with a close decision, just....

    I'm willing to make an avatar bet with you that this fight is not going to be close.

    Why all the hate for the Hatton brothers?

    You think it'll be a blowout for Brook?

    No disrespect, but i couldnt give a toss about what other peoples avatars are, that dont interest me. I like to come hear to just read/talk boxing.

    I just dont see Brook as what some have built him up to be.

    EDIT - and Hatton aint THAT bad.

    Hatton ain't all that but Brook, despite having some nice flashes, is not all that himself IMO. It'll be like the Ndou fight (Brook's)
