Hatton was very brave, but it was mainly all one way traffic and he got battered!

Kell Brook defeats Matthew Hatton in Sheffield
A dominant Kell Brook extended his undefeated run to 27 fights by defeating Matthew Hatton unanimously on points in Sheffield.
In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans at the Motorpoint Arena, Brook added the IBF International welterweight to his own WBA Inter-Continental title.
The 25-year-old floored Hatton at the start of the ninth, but could not knockout his Mancunian opponent.
"We are going to go on to bigger and better things now," said Brook.
A cagey opening saw Brook bloody Hatton's nose with a sharp jab in the first round. Hatton refused to be shaken by the blow and mounted a solid defence against his lively opponent in the second and third rounds.
Brook continued to take the initiative and inflicted further damage in the next round as he began to pick up the tempo.
This offensive was met with a short-lived counter-attack by Hatton at the start of the sixth before Brook started to smash through his opponent's barriers and lift the crowd.
By the halfway stage, Brook had thrown nearly 100 punches more than the man from Manchester and the shots started to show on Hatton's face.
Hatton continued to showcase his trademark tenacity, but Brook finally floored Hatton with a left-handed counter-punch at the start of the ninth.
Hatton connected a solid uppercut at the start of the tenth, though this did not shake Brook.
The Yorkshireman picked up the pace again and had Hatton on the ropes in the 11th.
Hatton stood up to a rapid attack in the final round, but the judges' decision cemented Brook's reputation as Britain's premier welterweight.

It was as one sided a fight you will ever see.
Hatton done well to hang in there but Brook was just too sluck for him.
Merthyr boy Kerry Hope won the European title on the same bill.
