    Hatton needs to show more heart and grit. Just get the punches out, N'dou isn't doing A LOT.

    Honeyghan dropped the title because the WBA sanctioned fights in SA, during apartheid.

    I'm not scoring this any more.
    The ref could well dock a soft point from Ndou at some stage.

    Volbrect (who's South African) was his WBA number 1 at the time. The two issues are connected but theres no way it would have come to a head unless Honeyghan was asked to fight Volbrect.

    You're right, but it is the reason Honeyghan cites, officially, for dropping the belt.

    Yep, he put a bit of spin on it and turned into a crusade against the WBA policy on title fights but the real reason was that he didn't want to have to fight Volbrect in SA (which is fair enough!!).
