By Scott Gilfoid: Another fight for unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (26-0, 18 KO’s), another mismatch, this time against 30-year-old Matthew Hatton (42-5-2, 16 KO’s) on March 17th at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK. Hatton will plenty of opportunities to hit Brook. After all, the guys got those short alligator arms that makes it necessary for him to get really close to land his punches. Hatton can land something right in his puss but the guy can’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag unfortunately.

Brook: With Hatton out of the picture, it gives me a clearer run to the title
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s interesting to hear the reasons why fighters pick easy opposition rather than more dangerous choices that could actually help them by improving them as fighters. Unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (26-0, 18 KO’s) is a perfect example of fighter coming up with excuses to justify a mismatch in his fight against Matthew Hatton (42-5-2, 16 KO’s) on March 17th at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK.
Kell Brook faces Matthew Hatton in domestic level scrap on March 17th
(Photo credit: Matchroom Sport) By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook (26-0, 18 KO’s) faces Matthew Hatton (42-5-2, 16 KO’s) in a domestic level fight on March 17th at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire. This isn’t the big named quality opponent that was promised for Brook. That’s what blows me away. Brook was supposed to be facing a superb fighter, and look what we get: Hatton. I mean, Hatton is a decent gatekeeper type welterweight but he’s not anywhere close to being an excellent fighter. This is just another fodder opponent for Brook to look good against.
