Matthew Hatton vs Zab Judah is on!

Matthew has improved of late and did well against Ben tackie.While Tackie is not that much any more I think Matthew is a decent fighter.He does stick to the basics and he appears disciplined and determined in the ring. Judah is obviously the favourite but if he let it go past 5 rounds he's gonna lose.Judah cant concentrate and he gets frustrated quickly. There is no douting Hatton has improved over the years, but Judah should still win rather handily and without much trouble, as only 12 months ago, like I said Craig Watson, a decent slick southpaw boxed rings round Hatton to a wide UD, and like I said Judah is much more skilled and punchers harder than Watson. And if Judah does struggle or gets beat it may be the end of the road. And taking nothing away from Hatton, But I feel Tackie must of aged over night, or something wasn't right as I didn't think it was him at his best and only a year ago had taken Kendall Holt to a Majority Decision.

It will be so funny if Zab gets whipped by Hatton's brother because he is nothing short of British level imo. Craig Watson beat him easy, if Zab loses to him he might aswell forget about another big fight.

Let's be real here, Zab is a gate keeper at best right now......Why would anyone paid to see this fool fight 3 good rounds and then give up the fight? U know what I mean? I used to like Judah but I lost all respect for him when he quit to Clottey, in top of that......Why he keep getting all this chances to fight for titles? Mean while we don't get the real good fights. This is what's wrong with boxing and it needs to stop......So as far as I'm concern.....F**k Judah & Gayweather!!!!! I understand were you coming from, with him getting so many chances. But I did feel him and Bailey would of been very interesting, and had the making for fireworks. When Judah turns up on form, he is very talented, and it would be interesting to see him at 140 fighting for a Title, against Bailey who is on a great run of form.

Kind of slick and mixes up his punches well. Doesnt have that natural strength like his brother, but he's a solid fighter none the less and someone you dont want to take lightly.

To be honest I was rather interested in a Judah Bailey showdown for the IBF Title.

Its quite a reliable source so sorry for the people who wanted the bailey fight cos im 99% sure this is gonna happen

Would be a perfect fight for network television

Ok and? I'm supposed to be excited about this? Zab is garbage and Mathew Hatton? Who is this fool? Ah the brother of Ricky, who cares? Please even if he fights Bailey I still don't give a damn and I'm pretty sure no one does! To be honest I was rather interested in a Judah Bailey showdown for the IBF Title.

As much as i like Ricky Hatton i really don't like Matthew! I just don't think he is that good of a fighter and i think Zab will knock him out, that is not because i dont like him thats because i think Zab will just out class him!

Would of liked to Judah Bailey much more, but if this is true I expect a Judah win with out much dout. If Judah can turn up on form and rekindle some of his old form, he should beat Hatton in convincing fashion. Matthew may be tough, but he is very one dimensional, and can't punch, he's done well to get were he is, and I find most of it is down to who is brother is. Fellow southpaw UK's Craig Watson boxed the ears of Hatton, and Watson isn't as skilled or dosen't punch as hard as Judah. If Judah should be defeated or struggle with Matthew Hatton, he will have to ask himslef alot of questions. If he wins in convincing fashion, I can imagine he will look for world titles and more big fights.

Nice if it get's done. Quick and easy work for both Zab and Mayweather Jr come July 18th...:fingersx:

Sources close to the Hatton family have said that Matthew Hatton and Zab Judah have come to a deal. And are just waiting to sign to contracts for the bout scheduled to take place on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez on the 18th of July! More info when i get it wasnt zab fighting randall bailey for a vacant belt? if he fights hatton, he'll brutalize him in under 2 rounds

:haha: Zab loses this fight, and it's not really that close.
