Hatton Vs Junior Witter

[elveiel]

Hatton would make short work of Witter, i think Witters a good fighter but as a styles match Hatton would bust him up.

Witter would definitely win, because he’s too unexpected, mobile and fast. He’s also too clever to let Ricky to dictate him tempo and rules of the fight. Hatton needs stationary opponent to win.
Wiitter almost outclassed Judah and Zab is a better boxer than Ricky. JW didn’t do it completely because only of his weak punching power. At present Witter has enough power to knock someone out.

witter almost outclassed judah!!!

Do you really think Hatton moves in the ring better and has more speed in distant shots than Judah?
Witter will play with a distance and never be near Ricky. I will give Hitman no one chance.

Of course, Judah won that fight and it was just, but very close desicion. Witter became the other now.
At that time Witter hadn’t any power in his punches and he was clever by declinig exchanges. But he controled all the fight and was never hurted. It’s important to understand that Judah was absolutely liberated because that fight wasn’t very important for him and he felt that his opponent can’t hurt. Judah was very good but wasn’t be able to do anything with Hitter who was feeling each Zabs’ turn and hitting him with his insectian punches. Now Witter became a puncher, the power of his shots is near the Judah’s one and if today the fight between these two boxers takes place it would go on the same scenario as Lewis-Tua did. May be even Judah would be TKOed.

Ricky Hatton closes the distance very well, his footwork is perfect for his style. I think people rate Witters win against Ndou too highly, after all Ndou tried to box a boxer and in all honesty he no more than a tough durbable fighter.

I'd predict a KO for Hatton, i've seen the worst type of fighters push Witter back with little effort, if they had of had a once of skill or strength they could have beaten him.

Hattons just too strong, busy and aggressive for Witter. I think Witter could fight world class opponents like Mitchell, Corley, Harris, Gatti and do well against them but not someone like Hatton.

Very close decision? Obviously you haven't seen the fight.

I must express it more correct. Judah won the majority of rounds but each of them was close. It was a hard work for Judah and a game for the Witter.
Today Witter would win.

It’s hard to prove something ‘cause we see it very different. I’ll try to give some arguments. In the thread «Tszyu will KO Hatton within 3” you wrote that Tszyu will be winner in their fight with Ricky and Ricky would defeat Sharmba. I agree with it. You also wrote that we shouldn’t pick fights on styles. I agree again. But I think that Sharmba is enough skilled to beat Kostya. There were some rounds in their 2 fights that he clearly won. But Mitchell’s nerves are the worst enemy of Mitchell. Just like Judah. Mitchell’s nerves are so bad that he wasn’t be able to TKO Stewart because Michael Stewart has a heart and didn’t want to be broken.
Sharmba is follower of a distant fight, Hatton is a follower of a close fight. I think Mitchell’s skill of his style of isn’t far from Hatton’s skill of his style. I agree that Hatton’s footwork is perfect for his style. But Sharmba’s style needs better footwork by definition. He would simply run and hit. But the nerves of Mitchell killed him. Once they showed their nature he can’t be elite boxer anymore. Sharmba’s style and skill could bring him a victory in the fight with Hatton, but his nerves will take his victories over big-hearted and well-skilled opponents away. And I’m sure that Hatton who probably has very good (but seldom tested) nerves will definitely TKO him.
Witter has the style that could be compared with Mitchell’s one. But his nerves were tested by the best way and it was proven that they are perfect. He boxes in every situation with the same patience, care and killer instinct. That’s why It’s seems to me that Witter is the best 140-pounder in the world. And he’ll prove it soon.

i've seen the worst type of fighters push Witter back with little effort, if they had of had a once of skill or strength they could have beaten him.

Who are you talking about?

Who are you talking about?

Jurgen Haeck mainly, any pressure he put on Witter unsettled him. He looked terrible against Fred Kinuthia and he's one of the worst fighters i've ever seen in the ring.

When have Witter tested his nerves?? Ndou's his biggest win and he didnt even look that confident at times. He wasnt confident against Judah either.

Hattons faced punchers head on and has always come off best, he's never faced anyone as strong as Tszyu but thats only because no one else is a strong as Tszyu.

IMO Witter has ability, he can beat someone very good fighters but guys with strength like Hatton and Tszyu would be too much for him. I'd give him a good chance the fighters i mentioned before but the stronger and more aggressive the opponent the less chance he will have of winning, i believe that 100%.

Very interesting. Thanks. I’ll see these bouts.

I saw it the other way and think he showed enough confidence and freedom of moves.

I’m sure Gatti and Harris would TKO Hatton now. It will be rather clear (who is right and how much he’s right) in the fight vs Tszyu.
Urkal was moving better than Hatton a half year ago. He hasn’t a power punch but had a better defence than Ricky. I think Hatton would be over-confident vs Harris and it will be bad for him.
