      Witter was not himself that night as he had family issues with his fathers health a couple of days before the fight. The fight was very close and would not have been a robbery if Witter had got the nod.

      However I was impressed with Bradleys Performance, he had the balls to come to the UK and deserved the belt IMO.

      Witter was a top fighter, Hatton ducked him for years.

      My vote is obviously for Witter.

      I always believed Peak Witter would beat a Peak Hatton.
      i agree 100%. but if you score the fight on a round by round basis it was very close although overall coming from that fight you would think bradley won it clear.

      though it is quite interesting that witter at his worst was still able to make it that close despit it being a terrible fight.

      AND YES A PEAK WITTER WOULD BATTER HATTON. maybe now that they are prob both past it still may make for an interesting fight evn tho it aint gonna happen

        Holt for sure, that knockdown in the first round would have stopped lesser men that was a picture perfect punch. He should have really tried to follow that up Bradley played it off great and didn't seem taht hurt but there is no way he was fine after that and Holt let him off the hook.

          I agree bradley won, by 3-4 points for me, but my point is i have seen far worse scorecards, and I would not have been surprised if Witter had nicked it.

          BTW Bradley got good applause from Brit Crowd after fight ( most were actualy there to see Froch, as Witter sells about 50 tickets it England.)

            I havent seen the Bradley/Peterson fight but the Witter one was fvkking boring and was difficult to score because Witter wasnt there to fight but to hold,Hug and clinch i scored it to Bradley by two points.

            Bradley/Holt was just too one-sided in favour of Bradley apart from the two knocked down which Bradley recovered from very well and just went on to kick Holt all-over the place.

                There is no doubt in my mind Hatton ducked Witter, some of his excuses for not fighting Witter were laughable, but due to his popularity in the UK he got away with it.

                I always liked Witter and have been to many of his fights, he doesnt get hit too often, unfortunately his style is not always exciting and he comes accross in the media as a right ****head, unfairly maybe but he was never going to beat Cheeky Chappy Hatton in the popularity stakes.
