By Eric Thomas: Former light welterweight and welterweight champion Zab Judah (37-6, 25 KO’s) will be fighting little known Ramon Montano (17-7-2, 2 KO’s) on November 6th in a 10 round stay busy fight at the Palms Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

What has Matthew Hatton done to deserve to fight at the top level?

hatton-matthew3423By Liam Santiago: There was once a time when only the very best could become a world champion. Every kid in a school playground could name the one champ of each division and titles such as inter-continental and commonwealth were unheard of. However, those days are long gone. Until recently, Matthew Hatton (37-4-1, 14ko’s) was in negotiations to fight Lovemore N’Dou for the IBO welterweight title. After terms could not be agreed for this bout the Manchester man has landed himself a fight with ring legend Zab Judah (37-6, 25ko’s). Someone tell me, what has Hatton done to deserve this?
