So you want him to end up like Litzau and get knocked out instead of fighting a smart fight.
I've seen the Corley fight but I like Witter. If he sees the finish he takes it, otherwise he outboxes, its good to fight his kind of style and its what keeps him winning. If he always went for it he may be more exciting but then again he'd be more probably to loss. So he should keep doing what he does.
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
Round 7:
The corner trying to get Daws psyched up, he needs it. Tying up early on. Morrison with a pai of hooks connects. A nice left leaps up into Daws on the counter. Nice straight from Daws, but Morrison now starting to fight on the counter, as Daws looks to stay out of the tight stuff. Not working. Another hook from Morrison, and catches Daws again on the counter to the body. Nice jabs and uppercut from Morrison, Daws looks weary and frustrated at the moment.
Morrison takes yet another round.
70-64
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
Round 8:
Good rising hook from Morrison, he looks strong and fired up for this. Daws with his long shots arent doing much for Daws. Daws swings in the clinch, but weaker. Great combos fomr Daws. Massive hooks from Daws and Morrison looks very rocked and tired now, Daws must have caught Morrison with 7 or 8 big shots. Morrison lost his gumshield, gets a lucky break there. Morrison looking to tie on now, as Daws flows forward with some big hooks, Morrison's not protecting his head. More hooks from Daws, Morrison is exhausted.
What a round for Daws, must be a two pointer for me, as Morrison warranted an 8 count if he hadn't hjave lost the gumshield.
78-74 to Morrison - he may need that build up of round.
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
Round 9:
Cagier stuff from Morrison, he's got an eye on the final Bell. Daws with some hooks, but Morrison throwiung straights back at him. Nice hook from Morrison, Daws replies with a jab. More clinching now, but an uppercut from Morrison. Daws with a good straight , punches in the clinch. Good hooks from Daws and Morrison lunges, and misses, Daws refrains from hitting him on the back of the head. Morrison working hard, Daws looking classier now.
Tied Round for me.
88-84
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
Round 10:
Good flurry from Daws early doors. ;) Morrison's jabs are still strong. Daws with a good flurry.This is really getting competitive, Daws catching Morrison more now, but Morrison's punches are strong. Nice uppercut from Daws. Clenchin. Daws with some long shots. Good hook from Morison, Daws catches him on the way in. Daws with some hooks and straights, this is a really competitive round.
I'm not sure how to call it, and go the easy route down the middle.
98-84
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
Round 11:
Daws slow coming from the corner. Nice hook from Daws. Hooks replied by Morrison. Morrison cut on the nose, Daws takign over a little now, but Daws with a huge shot, and Morrison counters and clings on. Big right left hooks from Daws. Morrison looks done in, but throws punches back nonetheless, before clinching again. Morrison stumbles to the floor, but no knockdown, and he's hanging on again. Nice left from Daws, Morrison is hanging on like a limpet.
Daws round by a distance.
107-104
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs

More hooks from Daws. Morrison is throwing, but not contacting. A good hook connects from Morrison. Body shot from Morrison, he's taking charge now, as they clinch once more.

Witter is trying to lure the big names into the ring. Is he going to get those names by being awkward and difficult to look good against?
Getting the win again Corley was one thing, he needed to get the job done no matter what. Now he is champion I want him to let it hang out a bit.
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
Okay, that's it for me, I'm a little drunk, slightly tired, and a lot psyched for the Hatton fight, so here's the superheavy checking out ;)

Really saddo? I thought it was pretty tedious stuff for the first eight rounds, and Morua should not have been in that ring really, except as a warm up for another fight.
nah mate i like watching him fight... loved the corley fight think i was the only one ;D
What you think about his fight with Judah? You think it was to soon for him?
yeah mate he took it at 9 days notice and was negitave as fuck... tainted his USA credibility bigtime that fight.
but he can blow hot and cold on accasions but he has the belt and deserves his shot against the best IMO.
but he lives in Hattons shadow over here and its a shame really ;)
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
That was a strange performance from Daws and his corner to be honest. They seemed content to let early round slide safe in the knowledge that their man would come good in the end. They allowed the slide to carry on till half way which means Daws has to fight a prefect second half to draw level ???
Fair play to Morrison, soaked up what Daws had left and then pulled it out in the end, well deserved.

Great work mate and what a fight.... CC for you ;)
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
Dave Paris's scorecard defies belief 117 - 112 for Daws!
No one could seriously watch that fight and give credibility to how you could score this anywhere near the likes of that card.
Well done to Barry Morrison though!

right guy got the nod so i guess thats the main thing ;)
Re: Witter/Morua and Daws/Morrison RBRs
So let's hope that y'all were watching some of the undercard fights....because I thought Ashley Theophane looked pretty good against Alan Bosworth, and as the mandatoyry for Morrison defence, I reckon it would be a great fight, and their styles would slot very well with each other. Morrison comes forward with the big punches, and Theophane looked good off the back foot, and punched accurately and stayed out of the way.
Either way, if we get a Daws-Morrison rematch, or a Morrison-Theophane clash, I reckon we got plenty of domestic talent at light-welter, and some could go on for Commonwealth or European bouts.
