Re: Junior Witter-Demetrius Hopkins possibly on HBO next month
Honestly...I don't think that Demetrius should be taking this type of fight this early in the game.
I'll be happy as hell if he pulls it out. I think that he's got all the cpabilities of a World Champion...except one thing...experience.
I think he's a little young in the grand scheme of things...but he's been progressing with each showing ever since the first time that I saw him
I hate to look at the down side of things...but I think that D-Hop get's outboxed by Junior...but the Hopkins's have proven me wrong before...maybe they will prove me wrong again. ;D

I can't wait to see D-HOP in action!!!!!...
Re: Junior Witter-Demetrius Hopkins possibly on HBO next month
Dhop isn't ready for Witter and won't be for a long time. I would like to see Dhop fight someone like Chop Chop first

I think D Hop has what it take to win this fight.Hopkins just can't let Witter bullshit him. patience and swift attack at the right moment will get the job done. I look for D- Hop to knock Witter out late or win a DEC. . Witter style of Defense first wont impress anyone in McAllen Texas, let me assure you, the fans there will be tossing bottles in the ring if he starts all that posing and bullshit , ;D.

Because Chop Chop would be a test for him. Dhop won his last fight but it was a tough time, and that guy wasn'[t exactly on Witter or even Corley's level.
I would rather see Hopkins fight Corley first, THAT should be his next step up fight. Would you agree?
Re: Junior Witter-Demetrius Hopkins possibly on HBO next month
IMO this has got to be one of the ugliest Boxing After Dark fights on paper! haha
HBO's BAD is just cursed. haha Ever since that commentator line-up was announced.

Chop Chop would be allright but I was asking why he's not ready for Witter

and I said "Dhop won his last fight but it was a tough time, and that guy wasn'[t exactly on Witter or even Corley's level."
Witter's style isn't one that a prospect should really face and I don't think Hopkins hast he experience to deal with a style like that, and Hopkins isn't world championship level yet, he still has yet to beat someone in the top 20 at 140 and throwing him in with someone the level of Witter and the style of witter would be suicide. Hopkins needs to beat some top level 140 pounders before he's thrown in with Witter. because otherwise its too fast too soon for him and I really see potential in the kid, but he needs to take his time, how old is he? only 23?
Re: Junior Witter-Demetrius Hopkins possibly on HBO next month
A fighters gotta jump in the lake at some point. might as well be on HBO for the WBC Championship. I mean a fighter could lose to anyone or look bad. when you get your shot you need to take it. Hopkins is 24-0 its time to mix it up a little . Witter has not really fought great fighters , his ledger is shit for the most part. Zab Judah took Witter to school winning nearly all the rounds. . This is a good fight for Hopkins in my opinion . very winnable fight for Hopkins O0
Re: Junior Witter-Demetrius Hopkins possibly on HBO next month
witter would destroy this guy. he is not boring just watch all of his before ndou he had a string of something like 15 knockouts! he also smashed the shit out of ndou and thats something cotto could not even do.

no no mate,, Ricky Hatton is not boring !
I would rather watch grass grow ,then Junior Witter sit there and posture all night long, like he did in his last fight. Hell no ! I think D Hop should beat this guy any day of the week ! but We will see I have been wrong before ;).
Re: Junior Witter-Demetrius Hopkins possibly on HBO next month
In the end...I think that Witter is gonna be to mobile for Demetrius.
Hopkins (D-Hop) is just coming into his own...Witter is (as SSSP said) just the wrong style for Demetrius at this time.
Demetrius hasn't faced anyone that throws out angles like Witter does. Most of Hopkins's opponents to date have just been right in front of him for the duration. Witter aint that easy to hit.
I hate to pick against a Hopkins...but I'll have to for this one.
Re: Junior Witter-Demetrius Hopkins possibly on HBO next month
I dont think Witter is boring like Ruiz boring. ::**
He floored N'dou like 3 time in their fight (And regardless of what the main article says, N'dou was a top 10 fighter at the time).
Plus as Majesty says, he made Corely stop fighting and wasnt out boxed or made to look bad for any part of the fight.
Bad dosent include posing BTW ;)
Re: Junior Witter-Demetrius Hopkins possibly on HBO next month
apparently not gonna happen, Witter's nowhere near weight and his shoulder's a bit messed up.
Tried to get Souleymayne M'baye but that didn't work, its in Dan Rafeal's notebook that I posted about the Edison Miranda-Willie Gibbs fight.
