By Sean McDaniel: EBU welterweight champion Matthew Hatton (41-4-1, 16 KO’s) is taking a big risk in traveling to the United States and facing unbeaten knockout puncher Saul Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KO’s) on March 5th at the Honda Center, in Anaheim, California. Hatton, 29, is the younger, bigger brother of former two division world champion Ricky Hatton. The problem for Matthew is that he has none of the power that his older brother Ricky had while fighting.
Canelo Alvarez
Santos Saul Álvarez Barragán, better known as Canelo, which translates to ‘cinnamon’ for his fiery red hair, has spiced up the boxing scene since his debut. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1990, this pugilist has clinched world championships across four weight divisions, making him a staple in the Hall of Fame pantry. Canelo unified titles in three divisions and claimed lineal championships in two, notably overpowering Miguel Cotto in 2015 for the WBC, Ring, and lineal middleweight crowns. Outside the ring, Canelo’s life is just as sweet, sharing it with his two kids, Emily Cinnamon Alvarez and Mía Ener Álvarez, and his wife, Fernanda Gómez, since 2021. According to Forbes, Canelo is worth at least $275 million!
Alvarez-Hatton: How many rounds will Matthew last before getting brutally knocked out?
By Scott Gilfoid:: The WBA has for some reason given EBU welterweight champion Matthew Hatton (41-4-2, 16 KO’s) a ranking of number #6 in the welterweight rankings. This gives the number #4 ranked Saul Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KO’s) an excuse to fight Hatton and, of course, destroy him on March 5th at the Honda Center, in Anaheim, California. This is going to be one of the worse slaughters in memory.
Alvarez vs. Hatton: Anyone care to see a mismatch?
By William Mackay: On March 5th, EBU welterweight champion Matthew Hatton (41-4-2, 16 KO’s) will likely suffer a brutal beating against WBC Silver light middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KO’s) in their fight at the Honda Center, in Anaheim, California. Hatton, 29, could have opted to take a much easier fight for the World Boxing Association welterweight paper champion Vyasheslav Senchenko, but instead opted to take the more dangerous fight with the much bigger payoff against the much respected but inexperienced Alvarez.
Hatton vs. Alvarez: Is there a chance Matthew won’t get brutally knocked out by Saul on 3/5?
By Scott Gilfoid: The way I see this fight, Matthew Hatton (41-4-2, 16 KO’s) has about a zero percent chance of finishing this fight on his feet against the hard hitting WBC Silver junior middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KO’s) on March 5th at the Honda Center, in Anaheim, California.

Matthew Hatton – Saul Alvarez for March 5th
By Jim Dower: An interesting fight that’s being talked about is the proposed battle between unbeaten 20-year-old Saul Avarez (35-0-1, 26 KO’s) and EBU welterweight champion Matthew Hatton (41-4-2, 16 KO’s) for March 5th. I would be really surprised if Hatton Promotions goes ahead and puts Matthew in this fight, because he doesn’t appear to have the artillery needed to win this fight.
Why doesn’t Saul Alvarez fight Erislandy Lara
By Dan Ambrose: Unbeaten highly ranked welterweight/junior middleweight Saul Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KO’s) is looking to fight the terribly flawed and mediocre Matthew Hatton on March 5th in what will likely be an easy fight for Alvarez. What I what to know is why doesn’t Alvarez take on a much better fighter than Hatton like unbeaten former Cuban amateur star Erislandy Lara (15-0, 10 KO’s) instead?
Matthew Hatton to fight Saul Alvarez on March 5th – News
By Scott Gilfoid: EBU welterweight champion Matthew Hatton (41-4-2, 16 KO’s) has decided to risk all and go after unbeaten knockout artist Saul Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KO’s) next instead of going after easier targets like WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko or Junior Witter.

Matthew Hatton hoping to fight Senchenko for WBA title, Alvarez and Witter are also options
By Sean McDaniel: European Boxing Union (EBU) welterweight champion Matthew Hatton (41-4-2, 16 KO’s) is hoping to challenge WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko (31-0, 20 KO’s) in his next fight. Fighting for a world title has been a dream for Hatton, the brother of former two division world champion Ricky Hatton, all his life. However, fighting and beating Senchenko won’t give Hatton much respect or credibility among boxing fans, because Senchenko is considered one of the two paper champions in the welterweight division.
