Kell Brook far too good, wp.

Guess he's not a fan of Khan when he says he wants to take his chin clean off him ? haha.

That Kal Yafai on the undercard looked impressive.

Yeh Deffo one to watch out for.

Danny Garcia won in 4th would like to see him fight Kahn again..

For me, Garcia was made to look a lot better than he is by Khan's relentless opposition of a basic in-and-out strategy. I struggle to see Garcia holding a big belt for long, as there are plenty of fighters out there.

Hatton was one of my all time faves to watch, and I must admit I am quite keen to watch the fight, and would love to see him fight Khan.

But this one will end in tears imo, maybe not this fight, but the comeback in general. Boxers simply do not know what to do with themselves when they retire, they spend so much of their time in the gym when they are fighting they have no idea what to do with all the spare time. I'm worried Ricky will get bashed up, retire again, and get even more depressed. It is such a shame because he was one of the brighter, wiser, more intelligent fighters around.

Still gonna watch it obvs and cheer him on, Blue Moon and all that.

Thing is with Hatton, it had already ended in tears - even before the Pacquiao fight. He'd been suffering from depression, and his retirement seemed to send him even further downwards.

All fighters find excuses and reasons for their decline, and Hatton has mentioned Graham's hand problems contributing to his training being sub-par.  Not sure how much credence I give that (as it's something that could have been addressed at the time).

Love Hatton though, and would love to see him win a few fights against decent British fighters and then maybe see a good performance or two against top class opposition. Think that would also help him battle those demons.

Or just prolong them and make them worse?

I actually thought he would have made a good captain for question of sport in his retirement.

I bet his brother his chuffed, I haven't checked but I presume he is on the undercard.
