    Hatton is only 22 and has a win over Tom Ansell who lost a close points decision to the current English champion. Hatton fought on Before the Bell so I don’t know what the rush is and why there are any complaints.

    Because the paying customers are not having it.

    Because he's crap, and getting opportunities purely on the basis of his surname, rather than his physical talent?

    A lot of fighters get opportunities because they sell a lot of tickets. I personally don’t have a problem as long as these learning fights that aren’t great to watch aren’t on the main card.
    He fought on Youtube.

    Except they are on the main card, and high up as well, not to mention he clearly lost to a Spanish journeyman, yet we were all expected to swallow the narrative.


    I guarantee he goes nowhere in his boxing career

    But we are talking about Campbell Hatton, and he wasn’t on the main card tonight…

    But was given an entirely bull**** stoppage/DQ win against a fighter with a 0% KO ratio that he was expected to look good against.


    And failed.


    He's a a nepo baby, and the "magic" of the Hatton name isn't working, people aren't fooled

    When beans get put in him and he becomes a Minestrone. Get it? Little nod to Jurgen there. Not funny though.

    True.

    Hatton probably a better human being though

    Yeah, maybe he'll be ready for an area title shot by 2026.

    Anthony Yarde used to cop heaps coming through the ranks and even he only had 12 amateur fights.

    Campbell Hatton? Yeah, don't see him getting anywhere near the level of Anthony Yarde. English level at absolute best if he still fights under the matchroom banner and the refs and judges are heavily stacked in his favour.

    I'm surprised wicky and co let the lad box. He's clearly not built for it and he's already rich. I could understand it if they saw he was a natural killer.

    Eddie's full steam on ahead on prospects no longer having 20 warm up fights. You either sink or swim. Hatton will either be found out very soon or he'll surprise us all.
