By Jake Donovan - Affixed on his journey to one day meet with the junior welterweight king Ricky Hatton, Junior Witter didn't count on running into a new sheriff of Nottingham.
Tim Bradley's dream showcase turned into Junior Witter's worst nightmare, as the undefeated American challenger scored a huge upset in the main event of SHOWTIME's ShoBox: The New Generation telecast, aired via tape-delay from the Trent FM Arena in Nottingham, England.
It was a slow pace to start the bout, with Witter beginning in the southpaw stance before flipping to conventional midway through the round. He didn't have much success from either side, as his best shots – consecutive left hooks – were met with Bradley right hands. It wasn't much, but sadly more than what went down in the second round, which featured more missing and posing than anything in the form of action.
The third round appeared to head in the same direction, until Witter landed a leaping left hand midway through the round. It appeared to wake up both fighters, as Bradley came forward with purpose. The tactic played well into Witter's hands, as the Brit was able to land counter shots from the outside while Bradley repeatedly came in. [details]
