    Witter is old and shot, I for one don't think that Alexander is as good as he looked yesterday.

      there is no doubt witter is past it but the fight was very close. i had alexander up by a round. alexander is a sold fighter but i wouldn't doubt the injury at all.

        The real reason is this: junior Witter was never very good to begin with and based his career on shooting of his mouth and fighting nobodies, in his entire career he faced 4 world level fighters and lost to three of them.

            Agreed.I had Alexander up 77-75 but it was a very messy affair,hard to score except the rounds Alexander landed the monster blows and worked the jab.Witter is very awkward.
            Don't think Alexander will be really good but this is a good wiun for him and he can build on it.

              This just makes me think even more - why did Hatton ever duck this guy? He would've mauled him out of there worse than Tszyu.

              Except everyone would've loved it and never complained.

                in his prime witter was way more dangerous and elusive than he is now. IDK what is wrong with him, he can't fight 12 full rounds anymore, and it seems his corner is incapable of telling him what is and what isn't working. He should take one last run at the title, Replace everyone in his corner and if that don't work, then retire.

                    he wasn't on game, he's too old. alexander had too much for him, i had alexander 3 rounds ahead and imo it was a matter of time before witter go knocked-down / KO'd.. He probably did hurt his elbow but he should have carried on. Oh well at least it was a pretty decent pay day for him. No way he's gonna get a fight with Khan now! Witter should retire.

                      I've never been a big fan of Witter to be honest. I just do not enjoy his style at all.
