Okolie is class, should be good this. Assuming there is no fuckery

Campbell Hatton won't sell Eddie a lot of tickets he ain't his dad.

It was a terrible decision could easily be a preview of the main event if Usyk can take a proper dig at heavyweight, really hope that's not the case and there's no dodgy decision for that fight... Feel sorry for Martinez but he probably knew he'd come here to lose but after a round thought who is this guy, probs thought fuck this I'll show him and proceeded to totally school Campbell Hatton.

Even Stevie Wonder knows who won this fight FFS... He needs to ignore shows like this for a couple years or he'll be hated he needs to just seriously work hardee than anyone in the gym to even be a European level fighter, personally doubt he's got it in him to be a domestic champion let alone that and I want to like him.

The fact Martinez didn't even flinch when the decision was announced would probably tell us all we need to know.

Embarrassing for the sport and won't do Hatton jnr any good if he is given the decisions. A loss would have been beneficial for him to severely reduce expectations...............

Totally agree never harmed Bernard Hopkins career losing his first fight... Johnny Nelson even lost his first 3 fights an early loss isn't a career killer.

Campbell Hatton will be put on Manchester shows but nobody will care about seeing him, no doubt Eddie will tell himself that Hatton Jr is an incentive to sell tickets but all he'll mean is not having a high profile boxer on the card

Lawrence Okolie fucked him up

Whoever vetted the Spanish lad as an opponent hugely underestimated him.

Looked a good technician and I'm not sure he was even sweating by the final bell.............

Edit: and fully agree with your points

 

[Nellies left peg]

Hatton will never be top class, too easy to hit and very wild, most of his punches looked quite slappy too.

 

[Don Karleone]

Will tell us a lot about AJ this.
