Some Might Say, Hatton is the Best

As Ricky Hatton emerged from the smoke/dressing room on Saturday night at the MGM Grand, he was joined by two familiar faces. Brothers, Liam and Noel Gallagher had been invited to carry his belts to the ring in the highly anticipated bout. The fellow Mancunians then joined David Beckham at their ring side seats.
Mr Hatton looked much sharper than he did in his fight against Floyd Mayweather, but that may well have been down to the quality of opposition. The match came to an end in the 11th round when Hatton was declared the winner as a result of a technical knock-out.
Hatton has expressed his desire to step up a level and fight at the next weight division. This could mean an opportunity to take on The Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya. Only time will tell if Ricky can successfully make the transition from Light Welter-Weight to Light Middle-Weight.
The Gallagher brothers have recently completed their successful 2008 UK Arena Tour. If you did not manage to get to one of the shows, dont forget that hundreds of tickets are still available to next years Summer Tour. The band will be kicking things off in their home town Manchester on 4th June. The Tour climaxes with 3 shows at Wembley Stadium in July. Tickets are available from £45.
