Witter vs. D. Hopkins

[#1Indian]

Just read about this fight. I think this is a pretty big step up for demetrius and will probably be to much for him as Witter is pretty slick and seems to have something to prove to the american audience after his loss to Judah. I am pulling for D.Hopkins but dont think he has the experience to beat someone like Witter at this point

[lukeviacoolhand]

mismatch

[#1Indian]

That is wat I am kind of leaning towards also I see D.Hop getting his ass handed to him. I think this is going to be on HBO also

[lukeviacoolhand]

yeah, I'm surprised dhop's handlers let him take this fight

[#1Indian]

Maybe they think he is ready or maybe they are cashing him out who knows.

[lukeviacoolhand]

i would hope it would be the former seeing as how his father is part of his promotional team

I can't wait to see Witter destroy Hopkins in this fight.

I have not been impressed with Hopkins at all.

Cashing him out, and perhaps if he can keep it close we get another wonderful GBP decision ... if not then Witter signs to GBP after the fight mayhaps?

weird match. I dont know who will win, as both havent faught the best by any means. I think people are giving witter too much credit. Maybe witter thinks he can get some american fans by beating someone related to hopkins, and maybe hopkins can get some clout for beating one of the big fish at 140 and getting a belt.

it is an even fight that will probably go the distance. Close ud for d-hop.

hopkins has to make some kind of jump to be considered a contender and not just a pprospect; witter is a tall order, but at this stage and w/the backing and attention he has gotten from gbp he needs to do something significant to justify his place in the pecking order.

hopkins has skills, but is a bit unproven against top flight comp; witter is the proven commodity, i would have to lean to witter. But maybe gbp knows something i don't
