Just wondered if anyone new what time approx hatton fights expected to start.I expect him to let it go 6 rounds then he'll ko him 6 or 7 anyone got any bets on the fight ?

If someone finds a live stream can they post it please.

Hatton by K/O in 4th

As a complete guess, I'd reckon the fight will be on from about 10-ish.  The programme starts at 7:30, and there'll be the usual waffle, two fights on the undercard, and then the Hatton fight.

So maybe even later than that.  Between 10 and 11 for it to start?

Yeah I was thinking 11pm.

That sounds about right i was thinking 10 30 so seems to be general consesus hoping i won't be able to go out to watch it as i'll still be in the ecoop event hmmmm be in the pub by 7 30 then.

I was thinking 10.30 too

Hatton to win in the middle to late stages, round 7ish. Could be a good fight.

Lazcano has beaten some decent names in his career - Leija, Johnston and Tackie to name a few.   He's certainly no easy fight for Hatton.

Hatton should be too much for him though, and neither is going to be looking to fight on the back foot.  But I think Lazcano will be too easy for Hatton to hit, and I can't see it going beyond the early/mid stages.  Watch it go the distance now!

Hatton on points...

Only predicting that as I've had a torrid day and it is sure to end in a KO if I say points.

Matthew Hatton getting battered.

Yeah, surely easily beaten on points

116-112, 117-112, 118-111

I think they're fairly generous for Hatton!

Let's hope Ricky fights a little better.  Sure he will.

Any indication on how the undercard is going to be able to get a more accurate scorecard? Haven't bought it in this time and trying to time getting to a pub right!

Maliginaggi v. N'Dou now - fighters entering the ring.

Think I'm led to believe the Hatton fight is after this?

Hatton fight will be after that yeah suprised to hear matthew lost.

Nice mask Paulie, pity about the hair.

Yup this is the main support fight, Maliginaggi being a potential future oppo for Hatton. Start time for Hatton fight about 10.

I wouldn't have given him more than the share of one round.  He was very poor and one dimensional.

+100

Nobody managed to find anywhere to watch this online ?

Cheers, best get a move on then. Hopefully that won't end in the first round!!

My dodgy box lets me watch it for free, love it!

Sure someone will have a stream though!

Tyson chilling in the front row!  Legend!

+100000000000

Malignaggi will win that as he was busier.  Apparently he broke his right hand during the fight (I don't actually believe that as he was throwing punches with it all the way through) - that would help to explain why he was so poor.

Split decision.

Hatton would tear him to pieces.

Its a bit dodgy for me but that could just be my internet connection

On that form, Hatton should beat him easily.  Lets hope Hatton can do a number on Lazcano first!

Absolutely.

Hope he shines tonight.

No link anyone ?

Good fight so far.

Bloody commentators are doing my nut in!

Finish him......

Cheers 4 that m8 dont work though was watching last fight on sopcast then it fukd up take it hes doing gud

he's 4 of 4 for me

Listening on bbc they say 6 of 6 but hattons defense is non-existent

Sounds like a decent fight hatton sounds like he was in trouble in rd8

Hatton looked a bit hurt there but came back well.

Thanks for this link, it is working fine for me.

ffs i had hatton in the 9th

Great fight.  The other fella has a head of granite, but Hatton has fought well.

Last round.

Well done hatton (acc to radio not judges) good fight back for him.

Great fight.  I have Hatton winning virtually every round. 

There were worries about Hatton's stamina, but he did well on that score.  I thought he looked at his best when he was at a distance, and was jabbing or throwing hooks when there was a gap between them.

Good fight and a decent performance by Hatton. I think his defence is a still a concern, Lazcano didn't have too much trouble finding the target. Fair play to Lazcano for seeing out the fight.

Yeah, good post Kin.  I'm not sure you could score a round for Lazcano there.

The radio is slating him saying he would've lost boxing like that 2 a top10-15 fighter and that his defence was terrible.

Imo he needed a fight to get a bit confidence back and he's pretty much done that with the win

Anyone slating him is an idiot imo.

He was getting caught a fair bit but mostly seemed in control.

Nonsense imo.


He definitely wanted to get through this fight and back on the winning the track again.

He was fighting a very decent fighter who hasn't been knocked down for over 10 years.

He won every round on one judge's card, and that looked right to me.  Malignaggi is meant to be his next opponent, and he's meant to be in the top 10.  Hatton will destroy him.

Didn't watch it so can't really comment a think hatton said himself afterwards that it wasnt 1 of his best performances but it was a hugely important fight and he won it convincenly which will do 4 me

Hatton won it every round-the statistics didnt lie-through more punches, landed more than double Lazcano and his accuracy was better- fair play to Lazcano though you could see why he's not been knocked out much.

WTF happened in the 8th round-Hattons legs just seem to go for a small spell and he was holding onto Lazcano to hold him up- there were also a few times after it Hattons punches started to look a bit sluggish and his legs looked a bit tired- then he'd just somehow get a bit more energy from somewhere to keep going to bounce back into things. I'd worry against a more decent oponent-based on both of last nights performances I think he'd absolutely batter malignaggi but if Oscar de la hoya does come out for a fight I fear he'd get beat.

He should definitly stay away from odlh he's to big for him  he would get battered.

Thought that was my 499th post oh well no big post needed for my 500th now  ;djinn;

I don't think there is any doubt that if he had of been in there with someone close to the top of the division he would have got beaten with a performance like that. I'd like to think his defence was so poor because he felt he could take a hit from that guy and it let him be aggressive and get shots off, partly for the crowd. Hopefuly against a better opponent he would have just used different tactics.

I'd agree that he looked better from distance last night. Can you imagine if Cortez had been the ref though?!! I thought theguy in there did really well letting just the right amount of stuff go on before separating them.

To put Hatton in a ring with De La Hoya would be crazy. They be at a weight above the fight against Mayweather wouldn't they?! A rematch with Mayweather would be pointless too, apart from financially. I'm worried that Ricky's support ='ing $$$ might keep his career going for that reason only. a couple more fights then bow out with a big payday if he wants and that should do him.

I think a wembley mayweather fight would be quality to go to and although mayweather looked diff class it would be good 4 hatton to give it another go so he doesn't always wonder if he was good enough instead of thinking it was the refs fault or whatever else.Also if he could get mayweather to fight at a catchweight he would stand much greater chance as he's just not big or strong enough for the higher weight.

He clearly performed the way he needed (or felt he could) to win the fight.  Different tactics, different opponents.

Exactly.  In fact, like he said himself it was probably the wrong tactics for this fight as well.  But that's why he's so good to watch.  He could have probably boxed at distance and got the job done.  Calzaghe does the same.   Both of them have enough to 'get away' with brawling against all but the absolute best opposition.

It was earlier on his career, but when Hatton fought Eamonn Magee he was put on his backside in the first round (I think it was the first anyway) and Hatton immediately changed to plan B and boxed his way to a points victory. 

Maybe it's something Billy Graham and his other trainers need to focus on a bit more.

There wasnt a single light welterweight in the world that could have put that guy out last night, nor could have Mayweather. I think Hatton did a real number on him last night.

Yes Hatton gets hit very easy, but he always has and he has always took it well. Also his all action style means that he tends to smother the work of his opponent and it nulifies their power a bit. The only time he has ever been truly hurt was against Mayweather and he is the best in the world and a weight higher. Nobody in the division will be able to KO Ricky in the next 18 months at least.

Most of the people that dish out the criticism of Hatton in the media or on the street in recent times didnt even know who he was 18 months ago and have no idea about the level of his opposition.

I actually think he could beat De La Hoya. Oscar struggled against Steve Forbes who is flashy but really the sort of fighter who you would expect him to finish off late on. De Lay Hoya also doesnt have much left in the tank these days, and would really feel it in the later rounds against Hatton, he would make the final bell but I think Hatton wins on work rate

I would fancy de la Hoya to beat Hatton within the distance, especially if Ricky doesn't go to plan B from the get go. De la Hoya can whack and though he might be passed his best the punch should still be there.

Ricky can win that fight but he would have to be a great tactical display. His punch resistance seems to be on the wane imo, Lazcano really had him going in the 8th for a spell and there is no way he hits harder than DLH. If you look back at the Tzuyu (sp?) fight he just walked through tzuyu punches (tzuyu could whack as well), now he seems to be noticiably rocked in every fight and knocked out by Mayweather who is a great fighter but not a ko puncher as such.

Hatton is still a world class fighter who will still beat the majority of good class fighter out there but against the cream I think he has less chance now than he did in the past.

I think Mayweather would have stopped him easily.  Hatton abs dominated and it was quite enjoyable, I look forward to him beating up Malignaggi.

Spot on Longy

it was the later rounds last night hatton started to look a little jaded- I think his stamina is a little suspect and if you tie that in with a decent fighters punches it takes its toll hence why I dont think he could beat ODLH, and I think if he thought Mayweather again I think it would be much the same as last time(though I would definately love to see a rematch to see if I was wrong- and hopefully Hatton would prove me wrong cuz I think the guys great- just not in the same class as FMJ)

Does anyone know where is the best place to find fight stats? I though Htton threw millions of punches but seemed to miss with lotys and lose energy because of it. Was just going to see how good his accuracy was compared to normal.
