    With the greatest respect I scored that a near shut out for Honeyghan as did the American announcing team.

    But it is a interesting match up Stevie...Blocker v Hatton.

    I would think Blocker edges a points win. Hatton had none of the slick skills of honeyghan. Although Lloyd brawled a lot in that fight which was the first one he seriously began to go the all out slugger route to be frank I don't think Hatton had Honeyghans power to keep Maurice honest.

    Yes I thought Marlon was slightly unlucky to lose that one

    Not sure. Ricky Hatton was a more accomplished fighter in his OWN weight class but Maurice Blocker was a career welter and one with a lot of height reach. He also gave a lot of rounds to big bangers in Brown and Honeyghan. Hatton might have problems landing on him and hurting him
