Alvarez wants to make it a real war to gain the support of the Mexican fans in California. The bout will happen on March 5 at the Honda Center This content is protected in Anaheim. ........................................................WAR CANELO!!!:bbb
I wonder how many rounds this 'war' is gonna last. Canelo outclasses M. Hatton for sure. Seems like the Hattons believe this is a winnable fight.
All Hatton needs to do to win is spar just 5 mins with Amir Khan to witness how the greats operate... job done, Alvarez out cold within 2.
Will this fight be at welterweight or a catchweight like at 150 since it seems Alvarez hasn't fought at 147 as of lately???
Isnt Hatton the Euro welterweight champ or something?? I would figure this fight will be at 147, since he has stated that he does want to fight and win a championship at 147. WAR CANELO!!!
Of course 'The Hattons' aren't going to say "yeah we fink Matty will get spanked in this fight because he int no Wicky Hatton" :roll: What do you expect them to say?
We should know by now being a champ in any weight divison doesn't neccesarly mean they will fight at that weight. Just curious since Alvarez hasn't fought at 147 for a while. If Jose Cotto climb two weight classes I wont be surprise if Hatton takes this fight at 150, esp since Alvarez is becoming a name and plus will perhaps be Mathews one of biggest paychecks.
I didn't say I was expecting anything else from them. I'm just 'ing. On an another note, James Kirkland could be fighting on the same night, but his fight wouldn't be televised... :bart
Well im sure he is being fed a can to get his confidence back so i would rather watch a more competitive fight on tv. Kirkland will be a great addition to the MW classes
