On SkySports 1 now.
I have Witter to win in the middle rounds. Hopefully a good fight though.

Why do I never put my money where my mouth is? Thought Harris looked tired, Witter was too fast and hit too hard for him. Great combination that hurt Harris, and a cracking left hook to finish it.
No way he'd beat Hatton though.

Harris was disappointing. I thought he'd put up a better fight than that.
Still not convinced with Witter. If he ever got the Hatton fight he's been after all these years, he'd get destroyed. fortunately for him, Hatton swims in bigger pools these days.

Might be a decent bit of money for Hatton to fight Witter at the City of Manchester stadium though somewhere in the not too distant future.

Absolutely, but I think it would be a nice easy pay-day for Hatton. If he beats Mayweather it could certainly be argued that he deserves an easy defence for a nice purse. |

That will change if Mayweather beats Hatton. Witter would cause Hatton a lot of problems if he has his fighting head on like he did on Friday night, the contrasting styles would make it a very tricky fight imo of course. His victory over Harris is as good as anything Hatton has done with the exception of beating Tszyu. |

But you still think Hatton would win?
Although I agree that Witter fought well, Harris didn't offer a lot in terms of putting him under pressure at all in the fight.
I think if Hatton wins or loses in December, the fight against Witter is a definite possibility.

I don't dislike Witter, but I think there's a gulf in class between him and Hatton.
I think the reason Hatton has a better chance than most are giving him against Mayweather is that he's expert at closing distance and stopping fighters work at long range. against Mayweather that has to be his main objective.
Doing it against Witter would be a lot easier. It'd be a mauling

No, I don't dislike him either - but I also think that Hatton is in another class to him. But I guess some people think that Mayweather is in a different class to Hatton - and I disagree with them. It's all about opinion, until they 'get it on'.

Well if I had to pick a winner I'd pick Hatton. But given that I'd expect Hatton to be long odds on I'd be having a nibble on Witter as he has tools which will trouble Hatton. Its a classic clash of styles the come forward fighter against the counter puncher. I think Witter is underrated but then a lot of that is down to himself as he has been prone to putting on some awful shows, but when his head is right like it was last night and against N'dou a couple of years back he is a really classy operator. |

The Witter fight is Hatton's chance to get back into the big time after the annihilation Mayweather will serve up in December.
Witter's last pay day before he calls iut a day.
Hatton to beat Witter.
