Messy, horrible fight with Ricky stopping Junior late because of attrition.
That's a ridiculously unfair comparison.
Magee failed to win the British, European and unsurprisingly never even fought for a "genuine" world title.
Hatton fought Magee in his 29th fight, it was the 7th defence of his (laughable) WBU title having 2 years previous been British champion.
Zab Judah was the unbeaten IBF "world" champion who was ALL the rage at the time of facing Witter.
Witter fought him on a weeks notice, had never been past 8 rounds and never even fought for a British title - let alone mixed in European or world class.
To make it perfectly clear - Hatton was the favourite over Magee. Witter was a HUMONGOUS underdog

I'd rep you if I could. Hatton's 'work rate' is one of the biggest myths going around at the moment. His work rate has been well down since the Kostya fight (compubox proves it) and unless you're a past your best veteran out of your natural weight he is unlikely to take you out with one shot. Which is why I'd pick Hatton to make it awkward and ugly til the late rounds when Witter should find his range, maybe not a KO since Ricky should be able to take the punishment at 140 if he has anything left.
That's my opinion of the fight too.
Pre-Kostya I was pretty confident Hatton would beat Witter. But now i'm pretty confident Witter would stop him.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
