Hatton Round By Round

[Srebmun]

Round fvcking 7.

Bullshit isn't it.

[Terrrrry]

Cracking stoppage by Quigg

[jBacca]

Yeah, nice finish. Reid just took too many in the end.

[Deno1986]

Cracking stoppage by Quigg

It was my first time seeing him. Vicious left hook on the lad and very good handspeed. A fight I would love to see would be Willie Casey - Quigg, it would be a war. Pity Sky didn't show a bit more of the fight tonight.

[jBacca]

Anyone know the score before the stoppage?

Also, anyone know the other results??

[nfc90210]

I had Hatton winning it by one point.

[bad mamma jamma]

hatton should have had a point off for holding, he was acting like nuz was his mum and he wanted a comfort hug...hatton will get ktfo by anyone inside the world top 15

Based on his last three fights, in which Hatton has boxed better than ever before, it is obvious he isn't world class. So I agree that he would lose to anyone within the top 15. I don't think he should have gotten a point taken away for holding though. The boxers would fall into each other after an exchange and both of them would hold. It was mutual in my opinion. If Hatton had a point deducted it should have been for hitting behind the head, which he was warned for several times.

Gavin Reid must have one of the most decieving records in the country.To put argubly Britains best prospect through that when your 6-6-1 is crazy.On closer inspection of his record,it shows just how tough he is.He is one of those who could easily be 15-0 now lets just say more cautiosly matched.Hes already took Swifty the distance,lost that war on a split in PF and done 10 in Scotland with Savage jr!Oh,and he beat John Donnelly.Brave,brave kid.

[bennie]

I know he was fighting someone his mother could beat, but how did Craig Lyon look?

[boxerbob]

the judges tonight were terrible , no way did hatton win by 7 points

i thought he nicked it by 1 round , the guys who had it on here at 104-104 before the last was exactly the way i had scored the fight

114-113 to hatton very very very close fight

who will hatton fight next , he deserves a voluntary defence i think

[Deserter]

As others have already touched on here, it was a far closer fight than the scorecards implied. I think it's important to give Hatton credit for both his performance in the fight, especially given his shocking start, and for the way in which he's made the most of his natural gifts and subsequently gone further than virtually any of us would have imagined previously.
However, he's clearly reached his level and to be honest I was desperately disappointed in Nuz - he was incredibly limited and one-dimensional given his record and world ranking.
If Hatton actively tries to step up from here into genuine world-class he's going to be in for an awfully rude awakening...

I don't think the IBF or WBA champs are geniune world class fighters. In my opinion, they are European level fighters who should consider themselves fortunate to hold titles. If Hatton can get a fight with one of these guys and the judging is as poor as it was tonight, I would give him an outside shot of winning.

Anyone think he takes Kell Brook?

He has been performing well against better opposition than the civil servants that Brook has been pasting

I'd take Kell Brook to stop Hatton in the first half of the fight.

It's a fair point and I haven't seen either of those two fighters to be able to make any sort of informed comment, but even at that level it's surely a real outsider's chance? I respect Hatton for his determination to make the most of his ability, but he's not even the best in Britain.

Yes, it would be a long shot, but it would not be impossible. To be honest, I haven't seen much of Senchenko, but I am quite familiar with Zaveck. He is a solid fighter, but I believe he is quite fortunate to be holding a world title. In my opinion he is really a European level fighter, better than Hatton, but not so much better that he could never possibly lose to him.

That's why I wish they showed more of Quigg v Reid, so I could form a better opinion of Quigg by comparing him to Swifty.

Swifty fought Reid when he shouldn't have been in the ring, weren't fit at all, but still managed to dominate him with ease over 6.

We didn't even get to see any of the first 6 rounds of last night!

Good honest post, I've seen Nuz's last few fights so I wasn't really surprised. Having said this, after his start I did think even after 5/6 rounds - "oh Nuz will get to him before the end". So credit to Matthew for sticking at it and making Nuz let time tick away and only wake up when it was becoming too late. There is a real art to that type of boxing, although if you are not British you would get slated for doing it (Dirrell vs Froch). I thought Hatton was boderline point deductions for holding - ref didn't see so - so well done Matthew.

I would back Brook ten times out of 10. I just cannot envisage a way Matthew could beat him. I think, although it won't happen, that Jennings vs Hatton (at this stage in Michael's career) is a close match up to call.
