    Dunno what that was about either...Spose he had to look like he was doing something though. Im more gutted for Witter cos i feel he should have had a shot at Hatton.

    See everyone now going on about how they were write about Ricky not ducking Witter.Ricky just waited for someone else to do the job for him....Why didn't he do it himself (off topic but probably last chance i got to post today though)

    In the days before the fight I mentioned a theory I had.

    Witter is past his prime.
    He took Bradley assuming that this obscure fringe contender wouldn't be enough to beat him and he would defend again.

    Hatton was Witter's meal ticket. Witter didn't actually care about the fight. A win woiuld be great, but it was the money he was actually after.
    The tilte and a few defenses was a great bargaining tool and he had the media eating from his hand.

    As I said, Witter didn't care about the fight, he cared about the money he could make from Hatton.

    I've always thought that anyway. I don't think he is past his prime just on that performance when he looked equally as bad against Lynes, Kotelnik and N'Dou

    I'll have to admit here I never saw the Kotelnik fight.

    The reason I'll say I saw him age was because of his reflexes.

    Sure in any Witter fight of any year there are times where he would do nothing, but he would be defensively minded in those periods and his footwork and reflexes would keep him out of trouble allowing him to win rounds on inactivity!
    Last Sat. the relexes and speed were faded and if you watch the knockdown in slow, his legs were very weighty.

    I agree. Witter did nothing in my opinion. If it wasn't for home cookin, that fight shouldn't have been close. Only way he won rounds was if they give points for hugging. He must have been sparring with John Ruiz.

    I agree. I was worried when it took so long to get the scorecards tabulated. I figured Bradley was going to get screwed.
