Brother of Ricky Hatton takes on Saul Alvarez for the vacant WBC Light Middleweight Title.

Who do you think will win and how?

I got matthew Hatton, Gonna support him and end the hype train that is saul alvarez now I know that alvarez is a real up and coming prospect but I gotta go with Matthew hatton Via 5 round KO.

Cinnamon by 11th round TKO.

What is going to die first?
Canelo's hype or Hatton's relevancy?

Canelo by late KO or decision

Bump bump bump



can not wait for this fight I'm supporting matthew hatton I want hatton to kill the hype train

Hatton has no chance.

Interesting matchup imo, but I see Alvarez taking it. I think it goes to the cards, though Alvarez could stop him late.

One thing I didn't realize at first is that Hatton is a welterweight he is being brought in to fight at Jr. Middleweight for this one.

Alvarez is also a Golden Boy fighter, and GB is apparently looking to use Hatton as a stepping.

Not that Hatton couldn't play spoiler, but the odds aren't on his side in this one.

Saul Alvarez weighed 151.8 pounds for the fight with Hatton and is trying to lose the 1.8 pounds as I type this.

weight drawned = good for Hatton !

Its going to be good one.
I dont know whos gonna win it.

Anaheim, California - Junior middleweight Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will lose $70,000 or 20% of his $350,000 purse for failing to make weight for Saturday's scheduled fight against Matthew Hatton. The fight is under a contract agreement for a catch-weight of 150-pounds, although the vacant WBC 154-pound title is up for grabs. Alvarez (35-0, 26KOs) came in at 151.8-pounds. He was given two hours to lose the weight but came back with 30-minutes remaining and failed to make weight for a second time with 151.4 coming up on the scale. According to reports, $35,000 will go to Hatton, and the other $35,000 will go to the California State Athletic Commission. Hatton (41-4, 16KOs) weighed 149.6. The fight happen at the Honda Center and HBO will televise.

70 grand cuz he could not lose a pound and a half. the guy is weight drawned his fucked hatton is gonna be faster and take this hype job out.

Hatton was brought in to lose, doesn't look good for him, physically he is outmatched, although he is a tough sob. Interesting fight.

I didn't know this was a catchweight fight. Hatton's odds just got a little bit shorter, no doubt.

any one wanna do a sig bet???

ill make a thread in the sig bet thing.

Another highlight reel KO for Alvarez

Alvarez can weight NO MORE then 160 tomorrow at 3PM.
the Hatton camp is putting alverez throw hell right now its gonna suck big time for alvarez cuz his real weight has to be like 167ish so he has to cut down on water and food till 3pm tomorrow. how is that gonna effect him.

i'm really bummed out i'm realy sick so ill miss the fight

wow this shit ain't on til 10:30 here

I didnt like hattons bitch tactics, but he did take mean face and body shots. Props to him for not being a typical british glass jaw but he is a half cigarette hugger.

Canelo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
