That was a lot better than Nash expected it to be. They got the balance right between action and danger. Good way for Hatton to go out. Nash out

I didn’t even know about this fight. What a shame it didn’t have the traction it deserves.

How’d they each look? I know it’s an exhibition but I really liked watching both fighters in their day.

That's because BOXXER distanced themselves from the fight. Although the main event was Hatton-Barrera, it was NOT promoted by BOXXER. They promoted the rest of the card, but someone else was lead promoter for Hatton-Barrera. As a result, BOXXER did zero PR for the fight.... no photos, no setting up interviews, etc. I have no idea if anyone even handled PR for that fight.

The fight was dumped on the Jonas card by Sky Sports and I don't think BOXXER was that happy about that. They wanted no backlash in the event one of these guys got hurt.
