Harris was completely knackered after a couple of rounds, must have thought he'd win by a very early KO

Make sense of this if you will.

Boxrec have BOTH Ben Rabah-Morua and N'Dou against Cesar Bazan (that fight Sunday on the Cris John undercard in oz)

This while Witter is the highest rated challenger on #3 http://www.ibf-usba-boxing.com/

N'Dou vs Bazan didnt happen, N'Dou fourght a 3 round exb. vs Shannon Taylor instead.

Realisticly we should all want a Hatton versus any of the other champs , both for money value and to see just how much off a legacy he can leave behind , not to mention more money for himself.

But I would be wiling to bet we get Rabah, he is well placed in the rankings , on paper he don't look to bad but realisticly he could'nt win a southern area title never mind beat Hatton , if hatton came to work and not play this would be a firet or second rnd blowout.

Rabah has done what most the aussies do played the ratings game based on where he lives rather than what he's done, the guys only got two opponents in Oz and he's not fought any of them , Ndou has been willing to fight him but they just mouth off and avoid him like the plaugue while they bring imports from Thailand for him to sit down after the first punch thrown ,Put it this way Hatton stopped Rowsell in two but even though Rowsell was at the end of his carreer he could make a comeback now and probably still give Rabah a flogging , This is why we'll perobably see Hatton -- Rabah

Ndou is petitioning the IBF because he was told he would fight an eliminator and that he could still fight in earlyJuly prior to it without jeopardising his status. Providing he won of course.

Some communicaiton mix up and confusion over Ray Wheatley's authority on the matter has led to Ndou being deemed unavailable and out of the IBF eliminator which will now feature Rabah and someone else, who's name escapes me.

Out of curiosity what belt was Witter vs N'dou an eliminator for?

Freiheit · Post by **Freiheit** » 09 Aug 2005, 06:51

WBC, but it was not a final eliminator.

I don't know who hatton will get in november, it SHOULD be Tzsyu, but I have a feeling Warren will embarrass himself by having Hatton defend a Ring title against a new line of unworthies. That would be appalling, because the whole boxing world is now watching.

Stranger things have happened - back on Showtime/Sky PPV you mean? Better be a good match if it is....

Still, you'd think FW was on solid ground when he brought Hatton to the table with ITV - that had to be a major factor in their decision - even more so now, with his planned Calzaghe knockover in September.
