Spencer is one of the most popular figures on the British boxing scene.

A light middleweight contender known as 'The Spirit' in his day, Spencer is the former trainer and currently technical advisor to British heavyweight champion Danny Williams and Southern Area light middleweight champion Anthony Small's agent.

Now, as well as running The Real Fight Club gym in Liverpool Street, he has leant his expertise and brimming contacts book to setantasports.com interviewing the biggest stars from Mike Tyson, Mike McCallum and Roy Jones Jr to name but three since coming on board at the start of 2008.

As well as that, his close relationship with the likes of Enzo Calzaghe, David Haye and Junior Witter have given the site some of boxing's most talked about interviews over the last few months.

Here Spencer will give a regular inside look at the noble art.

Why Hatton can beat Manny

I'm going for Ricky Hatton to win the big fight in Las Vegas this weekend and it is not just a case of me backing 'Our Boy'.

He is bigger and has the work-rate to keep up with Manny Pacquiao, even though he isn't as fast.

Hatton will counteract the bullying, rushing tactics of Manny by stepping off to his left after double jabbing.

That will nullify Manny's own left-hand chopping power punch. Also, I see when Pacquiao has been trainning after putting in a burst of shots, he's been moving off to his right which is bringing him right in line for Hatton's left hook.

If people want to refer to the De La Hoya fight as how Manny deals with bigger men, I will tell you that if Oscar had tried to impose himself, it would have been a different fight but 'The Golden Boy' just backed up.
