I dont think the southpaw angle counts for as much here. Ricky had trouble with Collazo and Magee for a while but both of those are clever fighters, Urangotang clearly is not ;D

Did Ricky not get Knocked down by Magee and have progressively more trouble with Collazo as the fight went on..? :-\
Ya quite right Rick did get knocked down against Magee, but that was a short shot inside, nothing to do with reach advantage :)Quote:

Hypetheticaly...if there was a 13th round he'd have got floored ;)
he was hanging on in the 12th big time but that is why i love to watch him...
Knows not a reverse gear and could have quite easily scooted round the ring in the final round and coasted it!!
BUT OH NO not the Hitman ;) He loves the tear-up and just keeps coming forward and that is what makes him who he is 8)
Urango has Jesus on his side and Jesus is hard ;D
Some interesting views from Witter

I can’t say I am surprised, although to his credit he has won a world title; he has spent career getting publicity off my back. And all of a sudden because he won a world title he thinks he’s the man and I need him more than ever.
I have vacated three times as many belts as junior has won, won world titles in two weight divisions, won the ring belt, became the first British fighter ever to win The Ring fighter of the year and in the same year was voted by the American Sports ; fighter of the year.
Come January 20th I will have topped the bill in the U.S.A. in both Boston and the fighting capital of the world Las Vegas. But strangely enough Junior still thinks HE’S the man and I still need him more than ever. Somehow I don’t think so. Do You?
He also mentioned that he thinks I am on the slide due to injuries and lifestyle. I just wish to point out mine and Junior’s last three fights.
Witter v Cawley, Won points 12 rounds points W.B.C World Light Welterweight championship.
Witter v Lynes, won points 12 rounds points European Light welterweight Championship.
Witter v Kotelink ,won points 12 rounds points European Light Welterweight Championship.
My Fights
Hatton v Collazo, Won points 12 rounds W.B.A. World welterweights Championship.
Hatton v Maussa, Won k.o.9 W.B.A. World Light welterweight Championship
Hatton v Tszyu,Won T.K.O. 11 rounds I.B.F. Light Welterweight Championship
Compare the two records and on recent form and with junior’s age, at 33 years old, it looks to me that if anybody is on the slide, it’s junior.
It looks to me that Junior needs to get a move on and up his performances not me. I give junior credit for capping off a great career by winning his world title but he needs to realise that he is so far off my radar, it is unreal.
I wish Junior well in his first title defence and on fighting on the same night as me I hope AGAIN I have helped in raising Juniors profile and Hopefully me and Junior can defend our world titles and make it a huge night for British boxing."

Hatton should fight Witter as a backup, by that I mean if he can't get a fight with Castillo, PBF or Cotto.
Come on people Witter will get killed by Hatton. The guy couldn't even bang with Corley, he ran and held. Ricky will pound this guy into dust.
Did you watch that fight?? Corley couldn't bang with him, man. At least he's the only one who ever got hurt with a punch and after that he's the one who started running, Witter took what he was given and did easily enough to win against a good opponent.Quote:

The sour side to the sweet science - 12 round UD's only.
I love that quote, CC manQuote:
