Comments Thread For: Van Heerden Had Vision Issues in Victory Over Hatton

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

South African IBO welterweight champion Chris 'The Heat' van Heerden secured a bruising points victory over England's Matthew Hatton at the Sandton Convention Centre on Saturday night.

With blood pouring from a cut on his right eye and nose, Van Heerden's courage, enthusiasm, speed of foot and punching power proved a little too much for a never-say-die, but limited Hatton.

For all this, the dour, rugged contest appeared a great deal closer than that proclaimed by the judges, who saw the outcome 118-110, 117-112 and 116-112 in favour of the title holder.

Im glad to see Hatton lost. Had he have won, it would have been a bit of a sham. Hatton is hard, but hes no world champion in any form. I dislike this is called a world title fight.

This was good performance by Van Heerden it is difficult to fight with Blood pouring in your eye from so early in the fight - his class showed - They need to put him in with more better opposition going forward and I would like to see how he will progress a fight maybe by the end of the year would be Van Heeden v Brook but I think Kell would probably edge this one but a good fight never the less.
