"This fight will not go the distance," says WBA jr welterweight champion Carlos Maussa. "I will cut him open. He's had these kind of problems before. My hometown people will be dancing again when they hear I have knocked out Hatton." The Columbian has not been dishing out much praise to IBF counterpart Ricky Hatton in recent days. "Hatton is not a good boxer, he is a fighter," stated Maussa. "I feel Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather are better than Hatton. They have better style and they are better boxers with more punching power......[Hatton] is not creative and he only has one style of fighting. It is very possible that I could open cuts on him and the referee will stop it - it is going to be a knockout fight."

Hatton, meanwhile, dropped the bombshell that he may be through fighting in his homeland. "It looks likely Maussa could be my last fight in Britain," Hatton said. "None of the big names seem to want to come here, so it seems all the big fights for me are in the US." As far as Maussa, Hatton stated, "Carlos throws a lot of punches and has a good work-rate, but I've not worked too hard to get to this stage to blow it now."
