no mega payday for Junior
Without the knockdown, it would have been a majority draw.
Personally, I think it was the home advantage which gave Witter the SD.
Witter says: "I'm gutted. I thought I did enough to win. Ithought I worked hard enough to take that knockdown away, and win comfortably. Tim Bradley came out, fought well, caught me with some good shots. It was my fault, he knocked me down, I got back up again. He'd been trying the overhand right all night, and I knew it was coming. I though I'd won all the rounds before that, and won some after that. I'm still carrying on fighting.
I'm not retiring after that, there's still a lot left in the tank and I will be back as aworld champion."
Good for Bradley...Nice kid who was willing to step into hostile territory...The press ate him up fir the decision and now he is a world champion...
Like I said maybe Witter needs stop telling the world how good he is and stop thinking about what the future holds...Worry about today....
He didn't it cost him...
Could not of happened to a nicer guy

I actually wanted to see Witter win. Because it gives him something to hate on Hatton with. But in reality I never liked him. Fukk him. I'm glad he lost
Tim Bradley, new champ, said: "All the glory to god. I've worked hard my whole life for this. I landed a great blow, took him out of his gameplan. Junior can say whatever he wants, he was desperate in there trying to knock me out. Everyone was telling Junior to go, but he was gone. I been studying Witter for a year. I always study, and I knew Witter was susceptible to the right hand. He was thinking about Ricky Hatton, and although he trained hard for me, his mind was on Hatton. There's a few fighters out there, but I'll let my promoters handle all that. If the money's right, I'll definitely give Witter a rematch."
Very well said, seems like a good modest kid and I hope he goes on to be a great champion. He came to Witter's backyard and beat him well. Props to him...if he's on here, show yourself so I can rep your candy ass.
the irony is the Hatton fight will prob happen now![]()

Bradley seems plenty humble and sounds like he gave a good account of everything that's going on.
Anyone give him a chance against the others at 140?
Malignaggi? Torres? Hatton? Arnoutis? etc......
This Rybacki boy looks a bit like Brad Pitt having taken a course of chemotherapy. He's gonna get his arse beat.
As for Froch....great intro....British bearskinned drummers then Queen, "We Will Rock You". Cheesy, but absolute 100% proof quality. Just hope his mind is more on this fight than Witter's was on his. The Nottingham crowd goes wild slightly later than originally planned, with Froch having dropped to second billing.
Froch KO4
I doubt it since Hatton is going to beat Lazcano he will probably go looking for more big fights at 140. If Bradley and Witter don't have a rematch I can't see them ever giving Witter a shot.
The sad thing is that Hatton fans would use this fight as an example as to why Witter would never beat Hatton when Bradley and Hatton's styles couldn't be further apart.
I haven't seen the fight yet. But I wouldn't use the fight with Bradley as a fight to gauge how he would do against Hatton. I think some of Hatton's fans are forgetting Hatton is coming off of a loss too. But i guess the caliber of the loss is different so they would make this loss mean more to Witter, go figure. I'll see the fight later.
Carl Froch in a much higher league.. he needs harder opponents.
Carl won by stoppage if anyone is wondering.
