i missed this one, but i'm not suprised matthew hatton lost. craig watson is a good underated domestic level fighter. hopefully he'll get a chance against the winner of british ww contest coming up. i think the younger hatton will be around for a few years to come. can still do the job as a domestic gatekeeper, or if thats not glamerous enough for him he can carry on fighting for intercontinental titles on ricky hatton undercards.
Hattons not bad and has never claimed to be a world beater! He just gave the commonwealth champion a pretty decent fight give the kid a break!
Matthew Hatton was always going to be beat once he step up in class. He will still get decent pay days at his level given his name.
Matthew Hatton seems decent in the few interviews I've seen of him. He has never claimed to be anything special and is probably grateful that due to his bro he can fight on bigger cards. However there's no need to feel sorry for the guy, none at all.
Cant feel sorry for him, he did his best for his caliber, not taking anything away from Watson but Hatton got it all wrong, he never tryed to break Craigs rythym at all and was soooo predictable, Watson's confidence just grew and grew....its a wonder hatton didnt get KTFO
I agree. He's not much kop and if he didn't have a famous brother he'd only be known by the really hardcore boxing fans. Didn't he get himself DQ'd against Alan Bosworth because he was losing?
Yeah, weird thread. "Poor" is something I'm pretty sure he isn't compared to people of comparable talent level to him.
