    It is. Alvarez is younger but he is in line for a world title and and is expected by some for the elite of the sport.

    no belt on the line?

    is Hatton giving up the EBU title?

    slightly off topic here but I think Alvarez will be all but washed up before he is 28.

    I think you'll find pretty much everyone is going to favor Alvarez, so it's pretty much unanimously going to be looked upon as an upset if MH wins.

    Now, saying Hatton has a chance is another thing entirely.

    It will be an upset; it won't be Douglas-Tyson.

    Well.. who's picking Hatton to win? Not many, if any at all. So yeah.. big upset.

    Huge upset in my eyes, Alvares is tipped for big things, Hatton is European level at best.

    Hatton is also in the form of his life at the minute - but only at Euro level, this is a step up.
