Matthew Hatton: Ready To Derail The Saul Alvarez Train
By Thomas Gerbasi - You would be hard-pressed to find anyone as calm before a big fight as Matthew Hatton is before he challenges Saul Alvarez Saturday night for the WBC junior middleweight title. Forget that he’s fighting the Great Mexican Hope in the 20-year old phenom, doing it in California, far removed from his Manchester, England hometown, and doing it on HBO. Disregard that at 29, he has the opportunity to become a world champion and a major player in the fight game, and not just a solid fighter destined to be known as Ricky Hatton’s brother. Oh yeah, he’s also fighting above the weight where he’s had his best performances over the last few years. But on a Sunday night in Southern California, six days removed from destiny, Hatton is watching the Oscars while talking about a fight he didn’t think was even possible a couple years ago. “I’ve always had belief in myself that I could box at this level, but maybe yeah, a couple years ago I would have found it hard to believe,” Hatton told BoxingScene. “I always thought that I could get there one day, but the rate I’ve improved over the last couple years has been remarkable really, so it’s been fantastic the way I’ve improved and I’m really looking forward to this opportunity.”
