Canelo Álvarez vs. Matthew Hatton, billed as Here's Your Shot, was a professional boxing match contested on March 5, 2011, for the WBC super welterweight championship.
In January 2011 Álvarez signed to face European welterweight champion Matthew Hatton at a 150 Ib catchweight.
[6][7] In February 2011 the WBC Board of Governors voted to declare their super welterweight title vacant, following Pacquiao informing them that he had no intention of defencing the belt.
[8] As a result the Álvarez/Hatton bout was sanctioned for the now vacant title despite still being fought 4 pounds below the Light middleweight limit and with Hatton being unranked at the weight.
Alvarez picked apart Hatton from the opening bell, peppering the smaller man with head shots and using his brute power.
