All you fans saying Hatton is ducking Witter HAHAHA!!!

[HattonTheHammer]

the point about castillo probably isnt that far off the mark actually , would you bother getting up for more if you were getting nothing for it
he also got up straight after the count if i remember correctly which would suggest he wasnt all that hurt , and castillo isnt the sort to quit

Your wrong there mate, watch this video, he stays down all throughout Hattons celebrations.

But I was always a bit skeptical of the way he fell, he walked off a bit.. then just dropped. If it hurt him as much as it implies surely he would of just dropped on the spot?

when your getting consistently hit that hard its very tough mentally to pick yourself up and carry on knowing full well your on a hiding to nothing.

I suspect JLC could of picked himself up and held off a hatton onslaught till the end of the round...

But he would of been going on raw adrenaline and being an experienced pro he realised he was out of his depth and couldnt fight fire with fire.




As for witter being overrated??

its probably coming from the same people that now claim hatton is "Washed up".

In reality junior will be back and will be winning a world title in the not too distant future...but undoubtedly last night destroyed any hopes of him ever getting the massive paydays fighters like hatton, floyd and cotto would bring!!

[hitmanhatton]

i think personally that witter wont be able to win a world title now simply becasue i think he lacks hunger, last night he knew he had to do something in the 12th but didnt really try he seems very lazy and he didnt look all tht tired , so i dont know why he didnt just throw everything at bradley rather than cruise to a decision loss

[Tam Seddon]

I was actually hoping that Bradley did a number on his last night so I could come on here today and say who the fuck is Junior Witter, except for a load mouth blabering cunt? I know for a fact after watching him last night that Ricky Hatton would have beaten him so easily. His style is akward, but it can't take pressure as was proved last night. Ricky Hatton is ALL pressure and when Witter was toying with that right hand above Bradley he was open for so many punches. In fact Ricky Hattons favourite punch, the left hook to the body. Hatton would have got him out within the first 5-6 rounds last night. Witter is far too hyped by the people on this forum and it really was annoying. Well it proved that Witter is a nobody and he will never get a Hatton shot. If Bradley keeps up the good work and gets more experience he should look for a Hatton fight. Hes a very good fighter, i was pleased.


COME ON THE RICKY HATTON! I hate Junior Witter with a passion.

He did the same with Judah . Hed rather lose safely than take a chance to win . He looked very tired and perhaps couldnt raise his game anymore than he did . At 34 its not surprising for a little man to be showing signs of wear and tear especially with a style dependant on relfexes cuz thats the 1st thing to go .

In my opinion this is more of a mental thing for witter.. I mean dont get me wrong i dont like the guy..

But some guys dont judge well on how well they are doing or whether they win rounds or not..

Its just that witter is so supremely confident and tricky.. And hes so used to not bieng entirely busy.. Just tricky with his shots its as hard for him to score his own rounds as it is for judges to.. if you kinda understand me..

And of course it bieng himself.. if he hasnt got hurt, knocked down whatever.. he'll pretty much just find a reason to tell himself why he won most of the rounds to be honest..

And just after the judah fight he raised his hands.. he raised them last night too.. and genuinely felt he won.. He didnt .. i dont think it was a matter of tiredness or hunger issues.. He just didnt feel rushed to the extent he needed a ko.. and his corner didnt push him to make him think it either..

[THE THIRD MAN]

I don't think Hatton is laughing now, after losing to Mayweather he should have immediately challenged Witter before the inevitable loss Witter was going to have occurred. It would have been an easy night out for Hatton and probably his biggest pay day in the UK, now what's the point? Hatton's position as a major drawcard outside the UK is limited and here was a chance at getting a huge payday, speaking strictly business here, this was a dumb decision and Hatton will regret it, or at least his pocket will.

He was reading the headlines way before the fight.He looked so far past Bradley and lost track of what is most Immportant....the hungry fighter standing in front of him looking to ruin his day.Bradley did not have the luxury of preening over his maybe/maybe not next big fight and posturing for the cameras.Witter has skills and a style that causes headaches,but last night he was out fought and Some flaws were glaring...Defense,looked slow,head waaay up high on the inside,little initiative.He has a tough comeback ahead Imo.

[TitoFan]

A lot of (justified) pent-up, angry gloating from the Hatton fan club after last night's fight. Justifiable because I'm sure the lot of you were probably sick and tired of the "Hatton is ducking Witter" storyline. But tell me....

Wouldn't you'd rather have it been Hatton, instead of Bradley, who did the job?

[Tam Seddon]

Hatton actually didnt have any reason to share a ring with Witter. He was a load mouth who bosts of knocking out a shot Harris. He barely beat Lynes and apart from being Kotelnik he has done jack shit. So to be honest if he was as good as he said he was, he would have beaten a young/unknown Bradley handily and moved onto Hatton. Hatton WOULD have faught him if Witter had got himself more of a name and more belts. But Witter is a nobody and he basically proved that last night, at 34 as well time is not on his side at all. But hes fucked it now, his only chance of getting another fight with Ricky is if he beats Bradley CONVINSINGLY and cleans up the weight class. But the chances of that after last nights showing are low.

Torres would blow this guys head off too, he cant handle pressure.

[TitoFan]

Granted... Witter is crap, and probably even Witter's relatives are changing their names. But when a loudmouth goes on and on and on, isn't it a bit more satisfying when your fighter does the honors himself, preferably ending with the offending loudmouth looking up at the ring lights?

[Tam Seddon]

I suppose in ways, but Hatton needs big money fights and apart from the people who really follow boxing, who the fuck is Junior Witter? He got a bit of recognition for load mouthing in the tabloids, but apart from that he was exposed last night. Hatton has reasons not to fight him, legacy and money being one of them. It proved last night that Witter would be fuck all on Hattons legacy.

Good objective post. Was expecting some Hatton nuthuggers backslapping when opening this thread.

Obviously Witter doesn't deserve a shot at Hatton after last night, he looked far from a world beater. I actually hope he did undertrain for the fight, cos if he didn't he's finished. He's always a slow starter but never got going and looked tired later on.

Anyway, fair play to Bradley, if one of our guys went over to the US with such little experience and took away the title from a good champion we'd all be raving about it.

oh ye all credit to bradley he came and did what he had to take the title and from his post fight interview he seems like hell fight anybody,
id personally go straight after kotelnik a very good oppurtunity to unfiy their and be the main man in the division
