    Lovemore N'dou

    I think Hatton will take a close UD in this fight

    Hatton bores the Sh*te out of me, he's so limited and has no power. He's in for a good beating as soon as he faces a top level opponent as he's been well matched up until now.

    He's far from my favourite boxer but fair play to him for stepping up in his last few fights, I know he's not exaclty setting the world alight but he is imo over achieving to be competitive with n'dou and winning the ebu. Thats as far as it goes im sure but a respectable career for someones who got fights off the back of his brothers success.

    I had that fight a draw. Some of the judging recently has been rubbish.

    Do you think there was any case for him to win by 5 rounds let alone 7.

    It was a very close fight but how many times can you get warned for punching the back of the head,Hatton was warned nearly in every round,at what point was the referee going to consider taking away a point, joke!

    Hatton looks VERY average. Also his fighting style smacks of desperation - thats probably having a famous brother to emulate? I honestly thought that he wouldn't get out of the first round. I had him ahead by 2 rounds at the end.
    Honestly though, I cant see him going too much farther as the quality of opposition gets better. Heres hoping I'm wrong.

    Yeah, in fairness he's making the best of his situation and he has excellent stamina. He's having a respectable career for someone so limited.

    That was a brutal fight last night.....

    1. how many times can the ref warn for hitting round teh back of the head without taking a point off?

    2. How did one judge give nuns one round apart from the first and the rest to hatton...nuns took the last three easily.

    3. The sky commentary was atrocious, jim watt mentioned that hatton was 'guilty of holding a bit'...hatton was holding after every exchange. They completely ignored the fact that nuns was battering hatton at stages.

    Somebody said it on another forum, FIghts on sky sports are becoming as bad as some of the german nonsense that gets pulled, im not saying that hatton couldnt have been given the nod by one or two rounds but the cards were a joke.
