Maybe he's the easy voluntary first defense.dbf wrote:cheers man.
I just read on Alledgedly's site that Souleymane M'baye is fighting on the Arthur Sirinstin card. That seems like an interesting thing to be advertising? Hes not bringing him over to give him exposure as Rickys next opponent is he?
Geez, Im bit a bit supicious of old Alledgedly!
Jesus, Eubank v Benn was a domestic fight as was Eubank v Watson as was Watson v Benn. Are you a snob? Just because a fight is domestic doesnt equate to it being rubbish or less attractive than other fights. I would argue Brits would rather take a domestic dust-up between two genuine world class home grown fighters than any other type of fight.J wrote:exactly domestic.
What you are asking is akin to Lennox after he beat holyfield to take on Danny williams.
witter needs to earn a shot and struggling agianst lovemore ndou doesnt do that.
Hattn has just beaten THE MAN in the division. debatable whether he should have had a crack at Zoo straight off but thats the what happened.
He certinaly had done more that Witter has to warrant a crack at hatton.
Junior (and i wish him all the best) should concentrate on his own career as should his fans.

If youre talking about earning shots. What did Hatton do to earn his? His promoter is very shrew and paid Kosta Tzysu well over the odds to secure the fight. In this sense money talks, so it is hypercritical for anyone to tell the reigning European Champion to "earn" his shot, when Hatton did no thing but see his promoter buy his title shot.
What Im asking for isnt "akin" to anything you've suggested for en route to the title Lewis took out his domestic rivals Gary Mason, etc. Whilst having beat Holyfield there were no viable domestic opposition left for Lewis, for the likes of Bruno had ALREADY been dealt with by Lewis.
The bottom-line is do people think it is acceptable for Hatton and Allegedly to avoid Junior Witter? Personally I dont. Perhaps some think Ricky has earnt that right.
kostya looked like he was going to win it up till the 8th, Hatton took a lot of big shots in the 4th to 7th he looked like he was running out of ideas until kostya started to feel the pace and get demoralised.J wrote:Totally disagree It was a hell of a rough fight what you on about?
I had it level after 8. this wasnt a one two round blow out Kil. nor a one sided beat down.
11 rounds against kostya it dont get much harder than that.
Right so you've stated that you dont believe Hatton has dodged Witter. Thats fair enough, but hold on...jamesmcdonnell wrote: I hardly think it's fair to say Ricky is 'avoiding' Witter, when he's just beaten Kostya Tszyu, the overwhelming favourite and top 5 p4p main man at 140.
Yet despite what you've said earlier, you've clearly contradicted yourself and have justified Hatton for avoiding Witter.jamesmcdonnell wrote: Any promoter worth his salt with a world class talent like Hatton in his camp would avoid a dangerous domestic clash in favour of building a global profile, which is exactly what Warren has done.
