Witter wil lose if he falls asleep in the middle rounds like he usually does.
How the heck do you know Have you personally knocked him out? Sure Collazo hurt him but he took several shots that would have put pretty much any other natural light-welter down (maybe apart from castillo). Collazo gave him trouble because he was a southpaw and Hatton only had 7 weeks to acclimatise to the weight. Also Collazo fired back with combinations, whereas Witter likes 2 throw single shots. I'm pretty sure Witter is not conditioned enough to last 12 with hatton. I believe Witter does the posing and messin around bcos he needs to catch a breather. He's never really been in a 12 round war before and i honestly believe he would fold around round 9 or 10 against hatton.
not saying witter would go to war with hatton but hatton has never really been in a proper war either. he has mainly just beat up on guys. collazo was the first fight he took sustained punishment. magee put hatton down, light punching collazo nearly stopped him. Tszyu never really clocked him flush, maybe once or twice. im pretty sure he would beat witter because of witters laziness but witter could take him out with a single shot fo sure.
