Hatton v Witter

Both ready to fight for the 12th June

Witter will not price himself out.

Hatton needs a low risk opponent (Witter is a low risk in Hattons team opinion)

British public want to see it,

Sky TV want to show it,

Should be damm good viewing

Will resolve the argument that I think is beginning to drag now,

Witter's a light welterweight

Witter is a moving target and not an O.A.P

I am not one of Witter's biggest fan's, but I too can't see any reason why this fight can't be made.

I'm sure Hatton would love to get it on with Witter, but I think Mr Warren is more than likely the main stumbling block.

From past 'evidence' he seems to obtain a certain disdain for any fighter that moves away from under his promotional blanket.

Witter might punch back.

Personally, I don't want this fight to happen.

I know it would prove once and for all who is the best in Britain, but both of these guys have talent and I would personally like to see them go their own seperate ways and develop without facing each other for now.

the only way 30 odd straight wins hatton could develop is by going in with the big guns of the division.
witter had better start developing quick he`s 30 years of age.

Isn't Witter's European title fight rescheduled for June the 2nd?

Yet another quality bill put on by Hennessy.

Froch v Dodson

Witter v battaglia

Down v Barrett

I am definately going to this one (money well spent unlike the hoax of a show 10 days later)

Froch-Doson is now a walkover for Froch in my opinion, given Dodson has been out since November and wasn't allowed a warm-up fight a few weeks back. I wouldn't be surprised if Froch dominated.

Ricky can make the fight happen if he wants to.

There are no reasons this fight cannot happen apart from Frank Warrenn to wanting it to happen.

sorry ben i dont agree,
dodson will spark froch imo.
he`s been over to the states with collins and his brother training in boston.
he`ll be ready.
