about hattons opponent urango , i think that this guy will be predictable and ready made for hatton.

im not saying it will be an easy fight as urango has power although against lesser opposition but going by what ive heard he sounds like a young ben tackie.

hatton easily outboxed the iron chinned tackie..... and hatton has already stated in an earlier interview that he plans to use his head and box against a lesser experienced opponent until the late rounds where he will hopefully set him up for the knock out.

i think that depending on how good urangos chin is will depend how long the fight goes.

my honest prediction is that hatton wins by ko between 7-9 or if he cant knock him out then a very wide points win

any thoughts???

Boxing news listed the outcome of the Ben Rabah V Urango fight as the worst decision of the year. HBO would not accept Ben Rabah as an opponent for Hatton, as he was not considered good enough.....nuff said!!

But Rabah is a mover, the type to give a no frills pressure fighter like Urango trouble, whereas the Hatton style is going to suite the Colombian down to the ground.

Hatton says he's going to use the angles, probably thinking along the lines of the Tackie fight I'd imagine, but if Urango connects a few times it could turn into an all out war.

Just get the feeling Hatton is gonna find it hard to get up for this fight, maybe has his eyes on Castillo already.

In other words, the type of situation where things can go wrong pretty fast.

Should be interesting.
