Hispanic Causing Panic In Hatton Wonderland
"Look for the Hispanic Causing Panic to do a job on Hatton. He will beat Hatton, but will not get the verdict, unless it is a kayo (or TKO from Hatton suffering from too many cuts). Hatton's body is shot. His skin will split open from cuts. Blowing up to 185 and then dropping down to 140 is not good for a number of years. Hatton should fight at light middle or middle or retire. (The body can handle losing 25 to 30 pounds between bouts. This amount is what boxers call the walk-around weight.) I bet Hatton will consider going up in weight or retiring after this bad performance."
