This is the final piece of the jigsaw in what promises to be a good night's boxing
Sykes v Johannesen
Judah v Mabuza
If Sky can get the GB show, which also has Broner v Ponce De Leon on it then it promises to be a quality night

I'd be happy with that lot; I always like to watch Ponce de Leon; he is an outrageous hitter. Sykes is a very good lad as well, I think he'll pull away from Carl after round 6. Matthew has come on in leaps and bounds and is doing really well; I think that this is a real step up into a very heavy situation. Alvarez is not the finished article yet but is in world class whereas Matthew is still building at European level. I think he'll be caught and blitzed :(

Is the Hatton fight taking place in the UK or States?

California. It would be probably 5/6am here (without checking the exact time difference), that may have played a part in their decision.

It does seem a bit bizarre even by Sky's standards if they don't pick up this fight.
It's not like Hatton turns up on any old channel. They've shown his last how many fights? I wonder if they just don't rate his chances even remotely. I know I don't.

It's probably Hatton Promotions at work here, they will probably be getting more cash for giving it to American tv.

On Ringside recently, Big Johnny Nelson gave him "a punchers chance".
I guess we can all read between the lines there.
