By Daniel “stick” Ciminera: With just under two weeks to go until the 140lbs fight between two men at completely opposite ends of the boxing spectrum, the old slugger v the young technician. Yet, it would seem that nobody cares that this fight is taking place. I believe this is simply due to the fact that Hatton lost to Mayweather and then didn’t come back and knock out Lazcano as we thought he could/should in the UK.
I’m sure I’m not the only one excited about this fight, I can’t be?!!?! It’s got class written all over it. Hatton at a turning point in his career having lost to Mayweather and then a slower than usual, quiet affair against Lazcano, is needing a win and a big win at that to have any chance of a few more fights to end on a high as Joe Calzaghe has just done.
