Hatton wins by late KO in my opinion. Witter looks great when given room to operate and pick his shots with that switch-hitting style but Hatton will be all over him like a rash from the opening bell. The only chance Witter has is an early KO I think. If the fight goes past 6 rounds then he next to no chance.
It'd be awkward early for Hatton. Then he'd wear Witter down, Witter would go into his shell and get beat down late on. UD Hatton or late stoppage. Witter doesn't like to fight and he especially doesn't like to fight at another guys pace.
Witter has also looked good and very effective against head first brawlers. He'd knock Hatton out with those slashing counters from all angles. Ricky would get sparked, and he knows it.
Well not sure about that but one thing is certain and it's that Hatton is losing more respect each day that he continues to duck Witter. I don't think the fight will ever come off judging by Hatton's latest comments on the matter.
Which brawlers has Witter fought who are anywhere near as good as Ricky?? Witter couldn't cope with Hatton fighting on his chest, Witter likes to fight at 1mph throwing 10 punches a round.
Hatton who beat one of the greatest champions in 140 history and fought the P4P#1 and stopped a mexican warrior with a bodyshot and stepped up in weight to fight a southpaw welterweight with 6 weeks notice is SCARED of Witter?? HAHAHAHAHA!
I don't think he's exactly scared of Witter, but i do think Hatton would rather not go right back in with a top-notch guy after a hard defeat like the one he's coming off. As for the fight, if Hatton was able to close the distance against Mayweather, he should be able to do so against Witter, and like someone else on this thread said, Witter needs space to operate. Hatton takes this UD
how many times do we have to keep putting you right on this? nobody is saying he's phydically scared of Witter. Losing to PBF does not ruin him, he's got his excuses. Losing to Tszyu would not have ruined him. Shot and smaller Castillo was not a threat. Losing to Witter would expose him for what he really is, the Hatton myth would be blown apart once and for all
and who are the counterpunchers Hatton has fought comparable to Witter? He got done by Collazo and Mayweather. you're talking pish. Even the Hatton fans with a brain acknowledge he should stop making excuses and fight Witter. What you or I think would happen in the fight is irrelevant at the end of the day.
