Post by josh fg »

They have both been around the brittish scene for so long have the two of them ever spared together in preperation for a fight. If so what do they both say happened?

doubt that very much

Witter from Bradford - and then trained in Sheffield under the Brendan Ingle set up.

Hatton from Manchester - invovled in that scene - under Billy Graham and the Phinox gym - sparring likes of Matthew Macklin and Jamie Moore would be more likely.

always thought Witter would spark Hatton

style's make fights

the Witter who sparked out vivian harris would have destroyed Hatton I believe

he would have nailed Hatton with a shot he never saw - like Manny Pac did last night

think it would have gone a few rounds though but I think Witter had his number

Shame - Ricky never wanted the fight

I believe Andrew facey sparred with Hatton for his fight with Maussa and Manocha Salari sparred Hatton on 3 or 4 occasions both from the Ingle gym

I've always thought Witter had the beating of Hatton on his day, Hatton is best with come forward fighters who he can time not people with awkwed styles and I think stepping between south paw and orthadox would give Hatton kittens... doubt it'll ever happen now.

I dunno, Harris has looked very spent since that fight and I dont personally think Witter deals with pressure very well, he seems like he doesnt know what to do under pressure, a bit like Audley, looks off balance and awkward under pressure. But who knows

True, but Ndou has lost to every top fighter he has faced so it's hard to say how effective his pressure is. When Bradley put the pressure on Witter he didnt seem to know how to deal with it, he just sort of stopped and held, no inside fighting. I just think Hatton would rough him up.

Ndou is pretty decent, most say he was jobbed a bit against Shamba Mitchell, he beat Rabah (who most had beating Urango), he broke Cottos ribs backed him up and won a few rounds and maybe deserved to win the Malignaggi rematch

Doubt it!

If Hatton was too scard to fight him for £Millions I doubt he would have stepped in a ring for free.


Hope this fihts does not happen, Hatton might get hurt and no one wants to see that.

For 6 rounds.

Hatton would have munched him.

Dont underestimate the use of modern-day transport! Bradford's Witter, currently residing in Doncaster has sparred with Jaime Moore in Manchester on a few occasions.

So, what you're trying to say, P-N, is that he lost them all, right?
