Its got Ryan Rhodes, Denton Vassell fighting on a hatton show next saturday on the schedule. Could this be on eurosport like the recent Rhys Roberts, Craig Watson bill?
Seems a good way of the hatton's getting TV exposure for their smaller shows, plus I always enjoy watching Rhodes fight even if it is just a keep busy fight

Re: Next Saturday - Ryan Rhodes, Denton Vassell
Hopefully, I enjoyed the Eurosport bills. They just show the boxing nothing overly flash! They show most of the undercard and the commentary is very good. Vassell seems a talented lad and with Shannon in the corner I think he could go past British level, I would like to see him fight the winner of O'Donnell vs Watson
Re: Next Saturday - Ryan Rhodes, Denton Vassell
Sheffield's world class Ryan Rhodes walks a tightrope in an eight-rounder with Brazil's unknown Rocky Junior this Saturday in Manchester (December 4).
Rhodes, ranked No. 4 at light-middleweight by the WBC and the IBF, is desperately close to a world title shot but he needs to keep fighting at 34. A back injury cost him a place on The Magnificent Seven card in Birmingham in September so he is right to squeeze in a fight before the year is out. Southpaw Ryan pasted Italy's Luca Messi in six rounds in May in his only outing this year to date.
To Junior, who brings over an unbeaten record of 11-0 (6) but is more senior at 39 and makes his first appearance outside of South America. These Brazilians tend to fall into the same category of raw puncher as fighting men, with the emphasis very much on raw, and we can expect the slick, heavy handed Rhodes to pick Junior apart on the way to a late stoppage or a convincing points win.
Also on the card, Manchester's unbeaten Denton Vassell warms up for a defence of his Commonwealth welterweight title against Midlands puncher Young Mutley next year. The stocky, aggressive Vassell faces another Brazilian.
