The 44-year-old Hitman was back in the ring for the first time in almost 10 years as he faced the 48-year-old Mexican in eight two-minute rounds.
Hatton's 45-3 professional record was not affected by the bout, which had no scoring and no official winner declared. But the former world champions put on a show for a raucous crowd and the former two-weight world champion claimed the night was up there with the most famous bouts from his career.
"We got everything and more," said Hatton of the bout, held in the arena where he famously won his first world title from Kostya Tszyu in 2005.
