Junior Witter vs Timothy Bradley, Carl Froch vs Albert Rybacki Rd by RD, Results etc

OK making this a sticky for the pub style chat round by rounds etc for tonights fights.


The fighters weighed-in as follows:

Junior Witter: 139.5 lb
Timothy Bradley: 139.25 lb

Carl Froch: 167.5 lb
Albert Rybacki: 168.25

Junior Witter: “Timothy Bradley has had some success already. He’s a young, talented fighter. He's done quite well for himself, but on Saturday night he’s going to understand what it feels like to be in the ring with a world champion.

“I've seen Bradley box. He’s aggressive and active. He's got quick hands. We have a plan in place that will take him out of his comfort zones. Lets be honest; the champion will remain the champion. I'm going out there to deliver some pain.”

Timothy Bradley: “I can’t wait for the bell to ring. I’m very anxious for my first title fight. People ask me if I’m nervous. It’s a world title fight; I’m itching to get inside the ring. It’s like when you run around in fresh, cut grass. You get that itch.

“During the face off, I didn’t like the way he was looking at me. Saturday, on Showtime, I’ll unleash all of my energy on Junior Witter. I’m going to fight a smart fight. We have an elaborate game plan in place. I’m a versatile fighter so we’ve prepared for a lot of things. I’ll know how and when to attack Witter.”

Weigh in photos....

Nice Lead in boss... Looking forward to both fights, Bradley looks fit as a fiddle but we all know its not a body building contest... Witter should shine tonite to further his cause of getting Hatton in the ring.. To be honest I have no earthly idea who the guy Froch is fighting.. The cobra is heavy handed with a defense that make Lacy look like a Winky Wright;D so whomever he fights it guarantees to be exciting...

Also its a treat to see Witter on Showtime tonight, we dont usually get access to British fighters on american TV unless they are mainstream..

Bradley has been very confident in the biuld up to this fight does anyone give him a chance at a big upet?

Its definetly a recipe for a trick fight for Witter, he better not get to over anxious to impress, but let the KO or fight come to him

It's a big night for Witter in Britain too, this fight is live on "free" TV.

Which obviously means it's guaranteed he has one of his "stink the joint out" nights ;D

Saddonians praying Witter is sparked unconcious

;D

Froch should look good tonight against a no hoper carnt see that fight lasting longer than 3 rounds.The Witter fight looks a decent one,got a feeling that it might be close fight then Witter comes on strong around 8 and takes a points win.

Add me to that list too ;D

not me man, I wanna see Witter get Hattons ass in the ring and get his due, he's earned it.. Even RJJ gave Tarver his shot after years and years of calling Jones out and trashing him. Jones made the fight when he didnt have to, and even rematched Tarver too after he beat him..

So all this BS about Ricky not giving Witter his shot because of Witter trashing him... :rolleyes:

JT, remember, we won't be getting it live, it will be on tape delay, so if you don't want to know the result, you may want to avoid this thread, or any other boxing website. ;) ;D

Thanks Sweetness;) Yea It is advertised 10:45pm eastern time, I'll play some GTA 4 till that time;D

this almost seems like one of those times where the favored guy spends so much time talking about future fights and comes out flat and loses to the underdog.

I didn't pick Bradley by the way, I've learned that for the most part my gut feelings are shit.

Paul Williams springs to mind not so long ago on that.

Anybody seen the Advert 4 this on ITV? Got Froch bigging himself up,then right at the end he says "this will b the fight of my life" cant help but have a little chuckle.Obviously that was recorded b4 all the change of opponent crap,but I wonder if ITV will still try n make out this is a dangerous fight 4 Froch.Glad this is on ITV,maybe the British public will realise theres more than just Khan,Calzaghe and Hatton! Really hoping Witter puts on a good show and not bores the life out everyone so he does'nt put ppl off.

Funnily enough I saw that interview about 2 minutes ago, I had to laugh..

I doubt that, Froch has been calling out Calzaghe for years and made a push before the Reid fight and yet destroyed Reid in 5 rounds, Froch knows he must win to get a title shot and a big name, he won't overlook his opponent tonight.

About a hour to go ;D 10:10GMT (5:10?) is the start of the undercards (I think).

Im looking forward to this 1 now. Last time I remember an undefeated Yank coming over to face our champ was Lacy - Calzaghe.

Bradley's pretty much a pressure fighter right? Still have never seen him.

Ive seen him a couple of times .Not exactly a barn burner face first type and has shown some maturity recently.Good hand speed and has gotten away from that weight lifting crap.Hope the element of "stage fright" does not get to him going into the Mass aura of Witters den.Could be a HUGE factor.Tell you this...I Think he will give Witter as much of a fight,If not more, Than D. Hopkins would have:-X

Boring first 2 rounds.. Bradley landed a few ok shots, came close to headbutting Witter..

Evnin folks, just got back after work and whacked the fight up on the box. Looks like Alexander is making most of the running....as it would have to be. Is this any better than most of the Witter fights? Nice right there from Brad.

Junior looked a bit rocked there.. I looked away and looked back to see the shot.

This Tim fellow has some good power on him.

EDIT: End of.. 5th??? Rather boring fight.. Bradley still landing the better shots.

Dont go looking for him he looks bad

This Bradley aint half bad... got a good chin quick jab and is having good success with the right.

young, hungry and unbeaten.

if this wasnt in the UK id sense a upset :D

I've got a feeling...

:-X

Wow What A Shot!

Witter down, got back up, Bradley continued the onslaught, saved by the bell.

(This is for anyone that isn't watching BTW, i'm guessing it isnt on American TV)

witter down :o

Oh dear

holy shite witter looks beat

BINGO!!!!!

Bradley's been waiting for that chance all night, and as far as I'm concerned, Witter is already looking in dire straits. I was looking at 9/2 on Bradley earlier...gutted i didn't take it. Bradley a good fewrounds up now.

Fantastic right hand.

Witter has to get KO now, Bradley has got all rounds so far for me.

ohh and another big right... he's cut.
