Manchester Arena, Manchester, UK. Legendary champions clashed in an exhibition fight – local hero Ricky Hatton had a solid fight with iconic Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera.

Hatton unexpectedly aggressively (as for an exhibition fight) began to press. Forced Barrera to move backwards, shoot back with a jab. Marco Antonio defended himself brilliantly, didn’t miss anything dangerous. Interesting starting round.

Ricky is still active. Can he really survive all 8 rounds at this pace? Barrera tried to work in a left-handed stance. He looks very solid as a counter-puncher, he scored a beautiful counter-hook in the 4th round. Hatton is no longer as active, he has a solid mark on his right cheekbone.

Veterans are just fire! This is a real fight. It doesn’t feel like sparring at all. Cool! Barrera works aggressively to the body. Only in the 7th round it is clear that the veterans are boxing – the number of clinches has increased, both are a little tired. In the decisive round, Hatton looked better – he clearly had more strength left.

The winner will not be announced. He is not needed here. Excellent duel. Thanks Legends!
