Kell Brook Vs Matthew Hatton - Predictions?

[Camcas]

Think Brook will get a British stoppage late on after dominating the fight

[Alexey Uralets]

Brook by pts very comfortable or by stoppage in later rounds

[palooka]

Brook on points; I think the fight will be closer than people think as Hatton has bundles of experience and is tough and wily.

Brook will be tested, this a step up for him and I think he will win by a few rounds but wont have it his own way.

I agree; Matthew is being not just disrespected but disregarded. He's not a bad fighter at all and has really improved into a solid boxer, (bit boring to watch though). Brook is good but has not been hit back hard yet.

Mr Brook wins inside 4 very tough rounds for mr Hatton !!!! Brave but brutal onwards and upwards for viv (kell)

[mrbassie]

I reckon if Brook's going to stop Hatton then it'll be on cuts or swelling. Brook's got a real ramrod jab which unfortunately he doesn't always make full use of. I expect Hatton to go the distance and make a good scrap of it, Brook on points somethin like 8-4.
Although I can see it going closer if brook's too eager for the stoppage, I know Matt Hatton's less inclined to brawl than his brother but it is something he has in his arsenal.

10th the ref steps in I think. After a couple of really dominant rounds.

I think Brook stops him personally, Hatton comes forward and makes plenty of mistakes, yes his chin stood up against Alvarez and that did surprise me but I believe
Brook hits harder than Alvarez despite the weight difference. I also think he will attempt to make the fight against Brook which will increase the power of the shots he takes.

I fancy Brook to do a number on him similar to Jackiewicz result, hit him too hard and too often to either have him stopped standing up or the ref just calling a day after another
series of shots taken by Hatton.

Struggle to see a way he loses really if I am honest.

Brook hits harder than Alvarez? And many people believe the Jackiewicz fight was stopped early.

Kell Brook on a UD.

[dan28uk]

a tough fight for brook just because hattons fair game, style wise though brooks has the advantage a comfortable looking ud 118-111

[Jeff Thomas]

Easy points win for brook, hatton competitive throughout- gets rocked a couple of times but solid defence gets him through with little difficulty. No thriller here.

[jimcook]

think brook should win , but dont understand why everyones tipping a ko. hatton has proven durability up to the highest level, and brook hasnt exactly set the world on fire up to now. hatton is not just gonna be standing around waiting to get his head punched in.

I dunno, Kell will be wanting to send a statement that he is by far the No1 in the UK.

Looking at the Alaverez fight Hatton took alot but I think Kell's jab is better and will cause more problems.

All goes down to tactics I suppose, Bob Shannon has been watching alot of Kell to try and see his faults for Hatton to use against Kell.

I have gone between 4th - 8th KO/Stoppage

I dont understand it either, has Kell Brook done something I missed??
Just watched his last fight against Luis Galarza, a semi pro boxer also works as a chef, and it was a TKO stoppage. I taught Brook got the job done, but I dont see anything super about this guy.

I'm predicting a good fight, and for hatton to give him more problems than most people think on this thread.

You maybe right, he may knock Hatton out. But he also stated the same thing, about making a statement against the durable N'dou.

[forcefraser]

Brook to win a split decision

[Final round]

Brook UD

[reggaereggae]

I think Hatton will be a good test. He's much improved, underated and tough. Kell should win; though I think it will be close

[Shambles]

I agree with everyone in that I think Kell will do the business although i can't decide between a wide points win or a late stoppage.

Can anyone make a case for Hatton winning?

[dutchie]

Too easy for Brook,wins every round!!!!!

[rhino222]

Alvarez underestimated Hatton and was out partying and killed himself to make the weight. For the Rhodes fight he locked himself away in big bear.

......... Ginger people cant party!!

I dunno about that, Hucknall is fronting the Faces at the mo'

[Pugilist-specialist]

Kell to win on points or late stoppage - in the confusion Junior Witter to sneakily deck Ricky Hatton ringside.

[Srebmun]

Hatton by late stoppage or narrow/split points decision.

[jessi]

Brook in 9 or 10, in a classic IMO
