An apple from an apple tree: Campbell Hatton failed to prematurely delay the age journiman

Sheffield Arena, Sheffield, UK. Local lightweight (up to 61.2 kg) Campbell Hatton (8-0, 2 KOs), the son of the popular local ex-world champion Ricky Hatton, beat the experienced Czech journiman
Michal Dufek (34-24-2, 22 KOs).

The problems of the underdog began with the starting gong. I still couldn’t keep up with Hatton, I couldn’t find a comfortable distance, I couldn’t answer blows with blows. Prospect got bolder, dropped his opponent, but at the same time broke the rules – without a knockdown.

Further, it turned out that despite the huge number of fights held, Dufek is just a very, very weak opponent. He kept failing with sweeping punches, missing obvious splashes from Hatton, was shocked several times, boxed in a ridiculous frontal stance.

It seemed that the son of the legend would try to win ahead of schedule, but he once again disappointed with his performance – in the final round, at some point, he even let Dufek work as the first number.

Hatton PTS 6 (60-54).
