Matthew Hatton's Vegas Bout on May 2 in Doubt

By Mark Vester

There appears to be a bit of doubt over whether or not Matthew Hatton will be able to appear on the undercard to big brother Ricky's May 2 bout with Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas. Last Saturday in Altrincham, Hatton stopped Ted Bami in six rounds but suffered a small cut from a clash of heads. The cut needed one stitch to close and a decision will be made this week on Hatton moving forward with the Vegas fight.

"He got the cut from a clash of heads," Ray Hatton, his father and manager, said to The Times Online. "It was only small and needed one stitch. He is due to have an eight-rounder in Las Vegas, but we are going to give it a week before deciding where we are."
