Campbell Hatton vs Jesus Ruiz- How did ‘The Hurricane win’?

Campbell Hatton showcased aggression from the first bell and retained the stance till the final one. In between, he landed some crisp body shots and rushed several times to bag a knockout. Though he failed to stop his opponent, he thoroughly outpointed him in the fight.

Hatton was facing someone with a record of o wins and 10 losses. While he handed Ruiz the 11th loss of his career, it was clearly not a perfect matchup for Hatton. If he wishes to reach the top of the super featherweight division, ‘The Hurricane’ will have to go after the bigger names.

That said, Eddie Hearn has vowed to put him in the undercard of Chisora vs Parker on May 1. So, it’s safe to claim that the younger Hatton is taking the right steps at the beginning of his career.
