im pretty undecided but im leaning towards witter, think its his time to shine
The only reason im wanting Witter to prevail is so we can finally see a match up between Hatton and Witter, thats if HBO and the likes want the fight too.
So on that note im going for The Lord of the Dance to win UD 12
;)
Same for meQuote:

All so I can see Ricky rip him a new one for being so disrespecful
I don't 'hate' any fighter, I have the upmost respect for the sport and what they do but as a man he just comes across as an uber-cock thinking the world and his dog owes him one
That said I won't be too disheartened if Corley knocks him out. Corley would be a good fight for Hatton in the US aswell.
You know guys i aint got a clue this is a pickem fight for me...
i want Witter to win... not because of future match ups but because in a fan of Witter... he hes had a hard time in the shadow of Hatton IMO
even when i was ringside... he was on the undecard to a hatton fight in manchester and the crowd where chanting "witter takes it up the shitter"... i just never got why they hated him so much ???
hes a good UK fighter who i hope shines tonight but its a brave fight hes taking and full credit to him for doing so.... because if he loses there nowhere for him to go :-\
BUT IF HE WINS IT WILL PLACE HIM WELL UP IN THE DIVISION 8)
COME ONNNN......
You know, Witter in preperation for this fight sparred with Thomas Daamgard.. He has also looked very bad in his last 2 fights. Corley is mayweathers sparring partner and he will have Roger and FLoyd in his corner. Im pretty sure he can pull this off.
oh for sure mate thats why im giving Witter credit for taking such a risky fight...Quote:

and if you take the common opponent ZAB JUDAH...
Corly got a SD loss
Witter got a massive UD loss
but that was 6 years ago and i've stopped judging fights on that after seeing what Joe did to Lacy... but make no mistake Witter has a very hard job to do tonight... its gonna be refreshing watching a fight that i just dont really have a clue whos gonna win ;)
got my beer in already ;D

Maybe it has something to do with geography for the hatred ???
I hear what ya saying mate, i was once a huge fan of Witter, but due to the fact he kept on slating Rick at every oppotunity and using Rick's name for his own gains, thats when he lost my support.
Dont get me wrong, he has talent, and tonight i think we will see this in all it's glory. As ya say it's a pickem.
;)
Very tough fight to call as i think both are capable fighters. Im going for Witter to put on a masterclass for us and stop Corley.
That's a little unfair seeing as Witter only had about a week to prepare and was very green in the sport.Quote:

Should be a very close fight, but i expect either a Corley KO or more likely a close controversial decision for Witter being the hometown kid
totally agree mate im sure it was only 2 days notice to save the show...Quote:

still my prediction in the contest is Witter KO rd 9 ;D... ((predicted from the heart ;) ))
Really looking forward to this but they've both been out for a year and it could turn into a bit of a messy dull fight. Hopefully not.
Witter needs to start fast and build up a lead if he's to win, IMO...not sure he will :-\
What time does this fight start tonight and what channel is it being broad casted on? Does anyone know thanks.
i heard he was awful last time out and imo he lost agaisnt kotelnik. im gunning for witter but it dont know if he has got what it takes.
Yes i agree i want witter to win.I dont like Hatton never have :-XQuote:

Agreed. I think that Chop is a damned fine fighter...but he does often fall short in the big games...& that's a crying shame.Quote:

I like Witter also...he's due for his shot at the top...but I truly believe that he'll be in Hatton's shadow till the end...& if they fight...he'll surely be in Hatton's shadow...on his back & most likely under the bulbs of some arena in Manchester.Quote:

That's the problem with douche bags like that...they talk all that smack after the guy's just gutted it out in the ring. No respect. It's one thing to raise hell at home & toss a bottle at the tube...but I hate to see/hear fans boo a man who's just gotten bloody & gutty in the ring for their amusement as their chants can be heard all around the arena.Quote:

Once Hatton is gone...Witter could possibley be "somebody" but until then...he needs to just chump up.Quote:

:coolclick: there big bwoss. Way to stand behind your man. :bananasex:
Heh heh heh.
It all started after Hatton had just won the British title against Jon Thaxton. (in an absolute war - Both fighters cut and brused like never before)Quote:

He then slagged him off at every opportunity and during every interview for about 2 years. >:mad
thats why he gets slated when he fights in manchester and he deserves it IMO. As a boxer a rate him but as a person he is a complete to$$er!!
I think Corley has one good one left in him...He needs a good win to stay in the game and I think he most likely knows this...So I say he will based on need
IF he beats Corley i'd give him every chance of giving Hatton a good run for his money ;)Quote:

then Ricky turned up at Witters next fight and got in the ring at the end doing some fancy boxing footwork to the roars of the crowd hahahaha.
im a fan of both fighters so one inserdent wont taint my view on Ricky or Witter ;)
You been suckin back on grandpa's cough syrup or somethin bwoss? ;DQuote:

What do you mean, you stopped judging fights on common opponents after Joe vs LAcy?? If so I don't really think it's the same scenario... Robin Reid was clearly in nowhere near prime fighting shape, he didn't even spar much for Lacy and it was 6-7 years after he gave Calzaghe a run.. In this case Zab probably was an accurate measuring stick but like you say Witter wasn't prepared this time so it still doesn't mean alot.. I just feel Witter is very flawed and isn't the same pedigree of fighter as Corley.. the Mayweathers will have a game plan cut out for him, not so sure Witter will be able to come with his own.Quote:

Damn shame we don't get to see the fight over here in the U.S.
