IMO the most important thing was his ability to counter punch of the front foot & not lead first & steam into that range leaving himself open for big Right hooks like Vivian Harris ,he boxed very well his punches where short compact and straighter than Witters aswell ,Witter throws wide hooks & his straight punches are useless the chin goes up & the head goes back
Bradley = Brilliant Fighter

While I congratulate Bradley on his big win, to me it was more of a case of Witter looking really bad than him looking good. There are a number of top junior welters I wouldn't pick Bradley to beat.
That would depend on whether Witter had a bad night, or if he is in a steady decline. I've seen him fight before and that definitely wasn't him at his best. However at 34 he is likely to keep slipping while Bradley figures to improve.Comment

i totally agree with you. i was very impressed with him for lots of reasons. his attitude was amazing, he didnt get intimidated with the crowd and being in his first title fight. he has amazing reflexes and is a guy very difficult to hit. also he was very intelligent on the ring, he fought like he was a more experienced fighter, on a very smart and patient way. he started very cautious and slowly started to be more agressive and figuring out that ****ed up style of witter xD. i really think that bradley is good....and was glad to watch a fighter i didnt know about to be that good. also he still will improve in the future...thats for sure.I'm definitely a fan following last nights destruction of "The Hitter" Witter.
Dude is a very well rounded fighter and from what I saw.
He doesn't follow any patterns he mixed it up A LOT in there.
Witter was trying to find a way to nail him but couldn't.
He gave a great post fight interview to.
Talking about what he noticed on video in training and how he applied it.
I like hearing about **** like that rather than call outs and **** talk.
Bradley gets two thumbs up!
and yes, im on the bradley bandwagon, so what xD....if he had lose on the cards i would still have the same opinion.

from what i saw Witter is always gonna struggle with Bradley cause the kid is patient and will not lead to Witter & he keeps his weight central at all times when throwing punches he does'nt reach with his punches & his punches are shorter ,straighter ,quickerComment

How do you have Malignaggi and Miranda in that list in your signature....i totally agree with you. i was very impressed with him for lots of reasons. his attitude was amazing, he didnt get intimidated with the crowd and being in his first title fight. he has amazing reflexes and is a guy very difficult to hit. also he was very intelligent on the ring, he fought like he was a more experienced fighter, on a very smart and patient way. he started very cautious and slowly started to be more agressive and figuring out that ****ed up style of witter xD. i really think that bradley is good....and was glad to watch a fighter i didnt know about to be that good. also he still will improve in the future...thats for sure.

i honestly think that Bradleys technique & Witters lack of Tehcnique is what won this fight ,Witter could not let his hands go cause Bradley was getting his punches home 1st because he is technically superior, on top of that Bradley was to quick for WitterComment

Bradley aint an elite fighter. LOL!
Beating a C+ guy like Witter doesn't put you there.
He should be at #4 behind Hatton, Malignaggi and Torres.Comment

cos i loved malignaggis performance against ndou. maybe ndou its not very good, but malignaggi fought beautifully....and also i think he is a very funny guy, his interviews are the best xD...
about miranda, how can you not like him, willing to fight anyone, anytime...and always goes to fight.
clottey, i havent seen him....im still too green on this sport =P...
and cotto ive always respected him and i like him and think he is a monster in the ring, but dont know why he isnt one of my favorites. it like with the pacman....a monster too, but just not one of my favorites =P.
but dont get me wrong, i enjoy watching them very much and i know they are better than paulie and miranda.
