    Made me laugh when he was doing that snake thing with his gloves and Bradley came straight over the top and dropped him.

    Froch and Witter are embarrassment to British coaches, because of how distinctly average they are technically.
    You could say Ali was poor technically.

      Defensively he was, because his only defence was his legs, he got dropped and hurt more than once for pulling out with his head up hands down. He never throw body shots either.

      However Ali had excellent balance and fluid movement,hand speed and he was a sharp counter puncher with a great jab.

      Froch,Witter are good at what they are good at, but they are extremely poor technically and that is one of the reasons they would get outclassed by most good technical fighters.

        Yea, Maybe i am...I didnt know of his dad story until about 3 months later so i did feel some sympathy for him and am surprise his camp didnt even use it as an excuse right after the fight.

        If that had been Team Hatton they would have brought that to everyones attention.

          Witter also has excellent balance, fluid movement, and is a sharp counter-puncher with a good power in both hands. His defence is very flawed technically, but like Ali, he usually gets away with it due to his fast reactions. I'm not comparing his overall style with Ali, just making the point that they have those particular things in common.

            On his day Witter can give anyone trouble with his awkward stance but he looks like a poor man Naz sometimes, I wish him well against Alexander but am pretty sure the Hatton fanatic would be in deep prayer for him to lose so no-one can talk about him...

                I consider Lamont Peterson a better prospect than Alexander.

                  Fingers crossed that this lands on the Agbeko-Darchinyan undercard (since King also has King Kong).

                    That would be very nice.

                      No he does not. You dont have a clue about Boxing if you think Witter has fluid movement. He just doesn't.



                      He is a capable counter puncher, he is not exceptional at it.
