Flint vs. Hatton Betting Analysis
Jimmy Joe Flint
Flint is an English boxer from Yorkshire with a professional boxing record of 13-1-2, including three wins by KO so far. At the age of 26, Flint has been a professional since 2018 and has only one KO win since that year. He has no height or reach listed anywhere since he is a very low-level boxer, mostly competing in clubs or at the beginning of undercards locally. The only information about him statistically is that he hasn’t faced someone with more than 7 wins and a winning record.
Campbell Hatton
At only 23 years old, the British boxer boasts a record of 14-0, with 5 KO victories. He’s most known for being the son of two-division world champion boxing legend Ricky Hatton and nephew of Matthew Hatton.
Hatton has a height listed at 5’6” with no reach recorded. He went 5-0 in 2023 with 2 KO wins. Honestly, the only thing notable about his young career so far is the backlash he receives from fans. There are a lot of allegations of corruption in his career because he has been seemingly outboxed multiple times and has gotten the nod on the scorecards.
Updates
DAZN and Matchroom Boxing have reported no injuries.
Jimmy Joe Flint vs Campbell Hatton Betting Preview
This Flint vs Hatton prediction is very difficult to make because there’s not a lot of information out there on these two and the level of boxing is truly very low compared to the big fights you would usually bet on.
We need to start with the boxing betting odds for this bout. The odds have Flint coming in as the +140 underdog as he tries to derail an unblemished career of the son of UK boxing royalty. Hatton is going into this weekend as the -175 betting favorite. There are no more lines available right now at major sportsbooks, but keep your eye on them later in the week for prop bets.
Usually, this is when we break down a fight stylistically and technically, but this one is tough to do that for. Both of these young men fight like novice boxers who should still be in the amateur ranks, respectfully.
Flint hasn’t fought a single legit boxer in his career and his tape shows a lot of issues with how he operates in the ring. He is arguably very slow for his weight class, doesn’t punch well, and is easily hit.
Hatton has made massive strides since making his debut as a 20-year-old. He was objectively not good at all and not ready for the professional ranks, but he has made improvements. With that being said, Hatton still lacks punching power and speed and continues to be off-balanced and get hit easily.
Jimmy Joe Flint vs Campbell Hatton Betting Prediction
It’s hard to tell how much free boxing picks for a fight like this will come in handy, but we have studied these two as much as possible and now have an official Flint vs Hatton prediction going into the weekend.
We are taking Hatton with a TKO/KO win over Flint this Saturday night. This pick is made solely on the assumption that Hatton is getting better with some of the best training a young man can get in the UK.
Flint is a journeyman-level boxer at best, but he will probably step into that ring with a strong mindset and plan on having this as a feather in his cap if he can beat Hatton. But he just isn’t very good.
It might be ugly, with a lot of holding and awkward exchanges with these two falling off balance and not landing clean, but Hatton has the advantage. He has the coaching advantage, along with the advantage of being the “A-side” to this matchup–if there is one.
- Pick: Hatton -175.
