Is done. I watched the first 5 rounds but it made my eyes hurt. Nobody looked to be winning and it looked impossible to score. I was surprised to see he lost comfortably by UD. The guy he was fighting was terrible as well.
Is that him done now?

I think he's done he is too old to be taking so long out and i don't know where he can go from here. He has never been a big ticket seller and after this fight i think it'd be impossible to get a fight with khan it would never sell and khan has nothing to gain from it.
Shame Hatton never fought him a few years ago when it could have been massive. Witter might have won
done? when was he ever really relevant?
That's a bit harsh mate. He stalked Hatton for a few years. That was sort of relevant ;DQuote:

I was impressed at his power against Ndou. Has anyone else managed to drop him? He just left too long a gap at his age between fights before the Bradley fight because he had a nice run of form leading up to it.Quote:

cause he was still being discussed as a possible hometown opponent, McCloskey isn't relevant on a world stage and he's getting a shot against Khan, so it really wouldn't shock me if Witter got a crack at him before the year is outQuote:

Junior Witter was always a poor man's Herol Graham.
When u look back at boxers careers u remember them for what they were :
Marvin Hagler = rock solid box fighter all great class.
Tommy Hearns = fragile destroyer , with sweet skills.
then we have brits.
Ricky Hatton = pressure fighting bleeder.
Frank Bruno = slow paced bomber.
JUNIOR WITTER = LORD OF THE DANCE / LIMBO DANCING PASSIFIST.
Im glad witter is done so we dont have to listen to anymore of his bullshit.
Hold on just a sec. I thought Witter was coming for Berto's belt?
Witter wants Berto's belt | Sky Sports | Shows | Ringside
Quote:
"You will see me as world champion," he told Ringside.
"I am going to go out there and go for the WBC. Look at the champion now; Berto is big and strong, but I will exploit him, show him where the flaws in his technique are.
"I will win the world title."
:rotflmao:
Anyone who goes 12 with bradly and loses a split decision deserves respect, also the fact he wasn't against traveling like bhop, calzaghe etc

Mcloskey is more relevant in my eyes. Defending a world title against the european champ is not that bad and will look good on paper in years to come.
Witter may have landed a fight against khan with shitty performances but managing to pull out the win. He won't get a shot now.
He is not relevant now too long out then losing badly can't see where he goes now......but he was relevant, have you heard of the WBC belt? ;)
Shouldn't have been a split. How could anyone have Witter winning that fight? He lost clearly IMO and the judge that disagreed wants shooting.Quote:

fair point with shitty silver and diamond belts - has actually pissed me off to the point where i cant be bothered to give them any consideration anymore, with different organisations with their own belts i agree things are only going to get worse.Quote:

Matthew Hatton might be fighting for it but the only reason the WBC title is up for grabs is because Alvarez is his opponent and he has DLH behind him.
It's good in a way that JCC jr is getting a shot if he wins he will have to step up his competition and we will see what he is really made of.
WBC is shit now, i have to agree. I don't care what titles are ever on the line anymore unless it's british etc where it's not run to make a shitload of cash.
Witter did have his moments but i think his negative performance against Judah never really left him
when it comes to Chavez Jr, i don't it'll change his level of opposition at all seeing how Sulaiman is his dad's best friend and damn near being a family member lolQuote:
