Witter Vs Hopkins.

[kurtangle01]

Junior Witter will fight the nephew of Bernard Hopkins, Demetrius, in the states in March. The fight will be on HBO so this really is his big chance. Win this is in style and HBO will want to make Hatton Vs Witter.

That said Hopkins, despite not being great, is no mug and could pose some problems for Witter. He's unbeaten and deserves his shot.

Think Witter will be comfortable here, dont really like what I've seen from Hopkins and he's not a big puncher.

You never know though. Good chance for Junior to impress and raise his profile.

I have never seen this Hopkins lad fight, but he must have a chance of beating Witter (one of the poorest World Champions I have seen).

Witter could win and still fail to impress, if you know what I mean? Lets face it, it wouldn't be the first time that's happened!

He better KO Hopkins though because if it goes to the scorecards I wouldn't rule out a 'home' decision.

If Hopkins does get the decision that'll be it for Junior. Hopefully we get to see the fight over here.

Both fighter can be extremely negative though so I'm thinking that this could be a snooze fest.

Yep agree with all that mate. At least the yanks wont have to worry about a British invasion for this one. Junior could fit all his support on the back row of one flight.

Defo snooze fest this one.

He's probably about Witters level but younger.

If he applies the pressure and the fans get behind him then Witter could crumble. On the flip side he could freeze and Witters experience could shine through.

He's about 6ft though, this lad Hopkins, and has a bigger reach advantage so if he manages to keep the fight at range he could have an easy night.

There'll definitely be no invasion and the fight will be in a small hall like the ones he fights in here. It wont be at the MGM in Vegas or ought.

If I had to hazard a guess I would say that it'll be at Foxwoods in Conneticut. Small venue that's regularly used for boxing events and holds about 4000 people.

Casamayor is fighting Katsidis on the same night as this so could be on the undercard of that as Casa is goldenboy aswell.

Believe it or not it's actually Casmayor Vs Katsidis that's on the undercard of the Witter fight!

Seriously?

This could be quite funny, full stadium for the Casa - Kats fight, half empty for the main event. But seriously that is quite ****ed up.
