WBC Light Welter Title Fight - Junior Witter v Vivian Harris RBR

[SalTheButcher]

Does anyone actually like either of these guys?

vivian harris was somewhat notable enough to raise interest at one point, and i think before judah beat his ass witter was slightly popular in the UK


yo, the fuckin assembly line show is on, that shit kicks ass

Sky announcers just confirmed that Ricky Hatton v Floyd Mayweather will be on Sky PPV in Britain, which slams hopes that it was going to be on Setanta, but I guess I'll have to shell out even more cash for it.

Junior Witter spouting the usual rubbish about him being the best in the world, but to be honest I'm not surprised any more, Harris sounding fairly confident, and looking fairly confident too. Even the Sky pundits send a bit of criticism Junior's way for his negativity, but the weighted it up with some of his positive aspects as well. Ringwalks up next.

Quiet welcome for Viuvian Harris, but he doesnt seem to bothered about it. Witter coming in to some RNB, but instead of walking, he's got a 4 foot by 4 foot bit of black carpet on the gym floor, where he's dancing....quite badly to some average music, and he's building himself up...possibly to get knocked down. He's got the name of a casino shaved into the back of his head, but i guess it's better than the usual pattern of swirls and shapes.

Anyhow...Witter's the favourite at two to one on, with Harris at six to four. Round one up next.

Gary Shaw is ringside. He's probably thinking Harris can't do worse thanJeff lacy.
