Scoring Punches; The Witter fight

[Memphis]

Its something he does, yet another ploy to look like he's winning a fight 'look I dont have to hold on Im throwing punches' rather than actually getting on with trying to win it.

But in this instance it was completely futile and he knew it

[Memphis]

Its always futile, doesnt stop him doing it.

Its kidology. Like I said on the night, I think most of the time he is trying to kid himself, no one else buys into it.

It's silly, really irratating too.

I just find him frustrating to watch.

Bradley studied Witter very carefully before the fight. He just simply did his homework that night and got a B+ grade.

The thing is a lot of folk on here and the majority of the British sporting press bought into it.

Saturday only really highlighted what i've been saying about him ever since he beat Harris.
He looked great against him because Harris is not mentally capable of beating an awkward opponent. He always tends to fight his opponents fight. Even when he beat a blown up Stevie Johnston he did his absolute best to make it as difficult as possible. Vivian Harris just isn't a good fighter imo.

I think Witter can probably come back and at least challenge for another world title but that's only because the belt holders and contenders at 140 (apart from Hatton and maybe Paulie)are pretty average fighters.

Witter has blown hot and cold throughout his career. Witter-Hatton had NOTHING to do with his showing against Harris.

It was after 8 years chasing Ricky there was finally an oppotunity for the fight to happen. Because Ricky wasn't fighting in AMERICA and fighting against the ELITE - Cotto, Floyd, Oscar etc.. it was time for Ricky to stop the excuses.

Fortunately he now has a genuine one.

One point;

A Hatton/Witter fight would not have been a treat for fans.

It would have been a significant fight, but not a pleasing spectacle, so fans have lost nothing.

Kids like you have lost nothing because you don't rememeber or know the history.


You're right though Hatton-Witter would have been a mess.

But unless two fighters meet it's IMPOSSIBLE to ever know who the better man was. Obviously on accomplishments it's Hatton hands-down.. but he'll always be questioned for ducking Witter.
