Known has the Hammer, because of his exceptionally hard punch, the Commonwealth champion is being tipped as the new Ricky Hatton and is busy making a name for himself in the Welterweight division.
He comes into this bout of the back of a defeat to Daniele Petrucci for a European title but by his own admission he didn’t prepare properly for the fight after accepting it at short notice. www.william hill.co.uk Before that he took the Commonwealth title from the decent fighter Ali Nuumbembe stopping him within the distance and walking out of a very tough fight without a mark on him.
His power is fantastic just ask Amir Khan who he floored when still an amateur and Robert Lloyd Taylor who was knocked out by Watson after just 37 seconds of round one last year.
Matthew Hatton hasn’t really stepped up a notch after a promising start to his career. He often faces opponents with less than impressive records and has found too many of them heavy work. He has only lost three times, once by knock out, and is undefeated in his last five fights. No doubt he’ll have most of the crowd on his side but that is likely to spur Watson on who just looks the superior fighter. www.williamhill.co.uk
