    Of all he fighters why did you have to take a liking to Magic Matt?!

    I dont mind him actually think he showed some good qualities in the Alvarez fight

    Humble, hard-working overachiever who tries his best to earn his chances rather than ride his brother's coattails (which he could easily do) and willing to take on big challenges. How could you not like him? :p

    I ignore all the uncorroborated outside-the-ring chatter myself. :good

    I reckon some people didnt like him because he has got fights just because he is Ricky's brother but after his Alvarez showing alot more people respect and like the fella.

    I never thought he did. All his opportunities have seemed more or less in accordance with his ability/accomplishment.

    Well shy of world class, but a gem at the lower levels.

    Why not Froch?

    I don't understand how Froch couldn't be someones favourite active British fighter.

    Ushona has won the best entrance music contest. He's up on my card.

    Uh...I did just list "humility" as one of my admired traits in MH...

    Froch's a bit short on that one. ;)

    Very fun to watch, though. Give you that.

    Matt's a boring **** to watch. Thats the main problem ahead of how much of an idiot he seems to be. His last fight was okay because he got beat up and showed good grit, but usually he's incredibly boring. See his fights against Branco and Ukranian chap.

    Ushona is definitely winning the event so far, superior entrance and ring attire. Man this MC is awful.

    Just tuned into this RbR, just heard Matthew Hatton talking about the best fighters in Britain at Welterweight...Me, Craig and Denton, come on Matthew a bit of etiquette... :nono

    Put yourself last when talking about yourself in a conversation and without forgetting, fight Craig Watson, you ain't even the Champion of Manchester...:deal

    This will be a hard fight if he's as good in the style that Shannon describes. That's what Vassell is likely to struggle against. Depends how good he is at it though.
