MATTHEW HATTON VS GIANLUCA BRANCO BETTING TIPS

Ricky Hatton's younger, balder brother takes on Gianluca Branco in a high-profile fight that should offer the up-and-coming UK-based pugilist a lot of momentum going forward in his career. It looks like the bookmakers believe he's in pole position, as he trades at very short odds to win the fight. 

You'll find Matthew Hatton trading at around 2/5 with William Hill while Gianluca Branco is listed at a 7/4 price tag. The draw, which is always unlikely, can be backed at 25/1. 
The pre-match speculation is based around this bout ending in a decision. You'll find Matthew Hatton's odds to win via decision or technical decision listed at an odds-on price of 4/6 while a Hatton victory by KO, TKO or DQ pays out at an enticing 11/4 price tag. Should Branco be able to pull off the victory, he's favoured to win via decision as well. You'll find his price on a decision victory trading at 7/2 while the KO or TKO victory pays out at a 9/2 price. 
If you think that the fight is going to end by a KO or TKO, you can get some supremely excellent odds on the round betting with William Hill. Matthew Hatton's favoured rounds to score a victory in are the 6-10 rounds where the price is listed at 25/1. He is 33/1 to score a victory in rounds 5, 11 and 12. Hatton is 40/1 to win in rounds 2-4 and 50/1 for an unlikely first round victory. 
Branco is a straight 50/1 to win in every single round of the fight.
The smart money likely goes on Hatton winning via decision, but the value really isn't there. I actually think he has a great chance of scoring a TKO victory here, particularly in the later rounds. I wouldn't rule out a fight stoppage either, but I think it happens for Hatton in the 9th or 10th round.
