I hope its gets shown could be interested. I agree with your statements Terrence on Matt as a fighter - don't know him personally.

Don't see many British title level fighters get the stick that he does.... he is an INDIVIDUAL fighter and should be treated the same as any other fighter of his ability. Naturally though, I can see the reason why the stick is there - it is especially evident in Matt's case cause of the clear over hype in the early years. Didn't the old Britishboxing.com hype him as a prospect of world potential and that he will eclipse his brother.

He might be witty and a nice fella, but NO WAY should he be 3rd fight on a big PPV card - just shows how thin on the ground the USA end of this bill is.

Promoters are left with peanuts after paying Ricky no doubt.

What happened to the guy who won a DQ against Matthew Hatton In the British title eliminator? Does the guy who won still get a British title shot?

Matthew does live In his Brothers shadow though and Is making a name for himself off Ricky's name.

i dont think that matthew hattons fight will be that high up the card mate , i just think that with sky starting coverage around 10pm and the hatton/urango fight on between 4-5am i think it would be a good idea to show this fight as its for a minor title and it gives the uk fans the chance to watch this fight instead of constant talking from the studio although i think matthews fight will be nearer the middle of the fight card .

i remember a few years ago they showed johnny nelsons fight on a card from america and the venue was only about 1/4 full......i think matthews fight will be in front of a similar crowd

thats a big suprise if that right mate especially from the american tv s point of view

oh well i hope matthew has agood performance then

mate can u remember the lewis tucker fight???

i think the rest of that card was poor but sky did a great job that night by showing most of the heavyweight title fights from when tyson was beaten by douglans right up to how lewis was awarded the title

it was an amazing night

i think with maybe a few hours to spare on this card i think they should show some classic light welter fights like chavez - taylor 1

Alan "Note BBBoC one title attempt" Bosworth is fighting in yet another title eliminator vs Ashley Theoplane on the Witter vs Moura undercard.

How many eliminators has Bosworth won, yet he is still unworthy of a second chance according to the BBBoC.

If Hatton had won, he'd be close to fighting Anderson already!

this could be a tough figt for matthew,the guy got a preety good record and been in the rong with good company,sharmba mitchell and a few others.he could have his hands full

I have nothing against Matthew Hatton but i am curious why he hasn't gone for the British title before now? His record is pretty bloated and i think he needs to step up for a challenge asap, wasn't he down to fight Ross Minter at one point?
