Hatton scared of Witter? LOL.

It's highly unlikely, IMO. I hope Hatton-Witter does happen. There is plenty of needle between the two fighters.

Witter should stick to thinking about Corley for the time being!

Is the fight going to be televised?.

I think Witter might stop Corley in 4-5 rounds. Failing that he should be able to win a decision. Corley has seen better days.

I'd say that if Hatton is not avoiding Witter then he's done an oscar winning impression of it in the past few years!... Witter at his best has got just the style to give Hatton nightmares, ...which is why he'll probably never get a shot at him despite the fight being a much better matchup than most of the matches that Hatton has taken...

Corley has also revamped his entire training regimen and has given some excellent fighters hell.

No doubt Hatton v Witter should have been made long ago. I think the match has lost some of its lustre but hopefully it can still be made if Witter beats Corley.

Always makes me smile this one, yeah he could 'possibly' give Hatton fits for 2-3 rounds, although I think we are doing Hattons boxing ability a dis-service here.

Even if Witter was able to pepper Hatton with shot's, we all know he can't do it for very long, and that's based on opposition far below the calibre of Hatton.

I've always maintained that Witter has a chance early..very early, but my perosnal view is that once he feels some hurt, he'll be on his bike.

That's pretty much how i've always seen it.

Rick's style plays into his hands a little bit by him being aggressive and giving Witter chance to counter but i agree he'd have to do it early. Witter's been poor in the second half of fights and completely clueless when the opponent has boxed defensively i.e. Kotelnik & Lynes. IMO, if Corley's got any sense he'll have a look for a few rounds.

There's no way in a million years someone like Lynes would have heard the final bell against Hatton.
