I think your being a bit naive there Smash. Cotto was breaking his neck to stay at 140 for ages and Mayweather has weight defying skills so its a moot point.Quote:

Give over. Witter cannot fight at Hatton's pace. A grandad could fight at Witter's pace.Quote:

I'd be surprised if Ricky lost, I'd also be surprised if Witter put up a performance that made a certain TV company change their view on him ;)
I'll be suprised if Ricky lost too but i think Urango is gonna give him trouble.
Agree that Witter needs a brilliant peformance which he is capable of,whether he delivers is another thing though.
I'll come back to this discussion after Tottenham SPANK the Geordie bastads ;D
Yeh being a Hatton fan and a blue (pessimist) im not exactly over-confident for the Urango fight. Too many people calling this fight a walkover without actually seeing Urango fight. I'm very suspicious cos this Urango looks a big fwocker. He's a southpaw aswell which Hatton hates more than he hates Man Utd. Everyone saw what an unheralded columbian (torres) did to Cotto......that makes me very nervous about this fight.Quote:

Urango won't just roll over for him and Hatton in no way shape or form has the strength to bully him.
Read between the lines on that one ie someone tell me what Ricky is gonna do when his usual tactic fails to dent the opponent..?
One dimentional anyone?
I love the Hitman and am fully behind him but i just get that feeling about this fight and i also strongly believe that Collazo has somewhat exposed him especially against a physically stronger opponent and a southpaw ;)
Hard nights work for Hatton could be on the cards.
I disagree fully there. THe reason people are calling this a walkover, is because they have seen Urango fight. He's totally average and completely limited. I think it's more that there are too many people(Hatton fan's) who are saying this will be a competitive fight in which Hatton will struggle, without having seen Urango fight. I mean you yourself just said, "he looks a big fwocker". Well yeah he is, but is that all your basing your view on?? Watch him fight, he doesn't look like a talented fwocker. Also what does the fact that Torres hurt Cotto have to do with this?? Torres was unknown and a late replacement, who had never lost a fight... Urango now has a world title(which he didn't actually win against a mediocre opponent), and Hatton has been training for him, for months.Quote:

Now hes just doing the sensible thing and moving back to a more comfortable weight.
:coolclick: P4Pking is correct. I've been trying to tell all you Hattonians that Urango aint shit on a shingle compared to Hatton.Quote:

Trust me...easy route for Ricky to get his belt back come Satdee night.
Strange because even the staunch hatton fans are seemingly a little wary.
Cats with nothing are dangerous cats and out for what they can take ;)
G-man
I cant wait for this fight, its gona be exciting from the first bell. I dont know much about Urango but it sounds like hes a tough fighter and he's not gona want to give up his title and undefeated record. Both guys come straight farward, and the only thing im worried about is if Hatton gets cut. Gona be a great fight.

We need Ferdinand from West Ham asap...Davenport is toilet.
Moving swiftly on ;D...
I wonder what role Urangos 6 inch reach advantage will play considering he's taller and blatantly the stronger man and he's a southpaw.
Don't anyone doubt my love for the Hitman but i'm getting the feeling that he's in for a tough,tough fight :-\
TBO im a red from Liverpool, so as a neutral it was a blinder of a game, but i live just out side Newcastle, so i guess they're my 2nd team. I just hope you can give me retribution and spank the Gunners in the semi-final of the Carling cup ;DQuote:

I see the fight ending in the 10th rd ;)
