Matthew Hall

Kris Carslaw has always told me that Matty was the toughest opponent hes faced, such a warrior, hope the guy retires in good nick, he seems like such a gent and nice guy.

 

Great thread Mand, Hall is one tough cookie.

 

would not want to fight matty hall in a car park! hes a hard hard man, great corner work by arnie as well, got the hairs on the back of neck, great effort by both, saunders looks a good fighter to me

 

Cheers Curt 👍

 

Massive respect to Matty, I was and still am so so proud of him. Friends for life.

 

Would you say that was one of Matt's best performances Arnie (taking the weight into account)? How do you think he'd get on against Brian Rose?

 

I remember making a thread about him a long, long time ago. Him and Bellew. I thought he could really be something, but truthfully speaking, he fell a bit short of what I was expecting. Ultimately he just lacked a few ideas against better fighters, how to set up his work, you can't just hook to the body all night at this kinda level.

But he's made up for it in wholeheartedness and commitment. Even though he's perpetually been on the verge of retirement he's always come up with the goods effort wise and that's all you can ever ask.

 

I still think he has a future at light middle.
He should never have fought BJS, he was never going to win against a much bigger fighter.
Put him in with Liam Smith and he wins all day long, but obviously he seemed to mean it when he said he is retiring.
