Honestly...I think Witter's an okay boxer...he aint complete...then again neither is Hatton...but to contradict meself once again...only seen a handful of Witter fights.

I thought that Hatton looked brilliant in the first 5 but after that body shot from Urango...Hatton went on the defensive & NO ONE has ever backed Hatton down...cept Collazo...& even he weren't that effective...not as Urango. Had Collazo had Urango's crack...Hatton'd be back in Briton nursing his wounds via a head cast.

Agreed...but he'll kill Castillo. Castillo's to battle tested & shop worn.

An all action fighter like Ricky cannot keep up these full on displays for much longer and it's starting to show.
That body shot woulda leveled anyone...seriously...it crippled Rick for the rest of the fight. I was shocked.

Which I hate to say...is all he could do...Ricky aint known for being an outside craftsman...that's all he had, IWO. No offense.

Again...no offense...but I'm just in the minority in thinking it wasn't that bad of a showing & I was impressed with both Hatton & Urango...shocked really.

Agreed...but not about Witter.

From what I have seen...Witter can move...but he aint that slick.

Castillo is shot and anyone who knows boxing will agree
Means absolutely f*ck all to me even if he does win because it's simply a huge payday imo
Agreed. Good rant. Good points.
