Lazcano is a warm-up fighter. Nothing more. He'll put up a good show and that's it. Maglignaggi is durable but has no punch. Hatton should make short work of him - providing he's not mentally shot after Mayweather drank his blood.

Hatton's doing himself no favours in the eyes of boxing fans by appearing to dodge Witter. I mean, I can understand him not taking the fight because of Witter's grass-height profile, but Witter's been bad-mouthing him for far too long to let go.

The problem is he's A LOT better than people give credit. He's ten times the fighter who lost to Zab Judah a few years ago on a short notice call-up.

Witter can't be ignored forever. He's knocking over the competition.

He looked good in his last fight against a decent fighter in Vivian Harris, but he needs to go to America and fight some big name fighters. Jose Luis Castillo would be a good start and it is rumoured. I'm sure if he can prove himself in America with a couple of big name fights, then Hatton will give him his shot. I reckon Hatton would beat Witter and finally shut him up.

Does anyone have the rest of the under card?
