Junior Witter tonight (fight result included)

[Guest]

Wins by UD, 115-114 (twice) and 117-111.

Only just got in from a night out, so I didn't get to see any of the undercard or Witter rounds 1-5. From the rounds I did see an unusually unexciting Witter seemed to lose most of the rounds by a small margin... I had the challenger taking 4 out of the 7. However, the commentators claimed that Witter was widely taking the first five, which I can believe, which would have it as 116-112 on the Anorak card if so.

Still, a disappointingly lethargic Witter, showing off hardly any of his superpowers. One thing I do note about Witter is that his stamina isn't the greatest. I wouldn't claim its a "stamina issue" as with Klitschko, but as Witter's main rival has always been Hatton - a man who, for all his faults, has superhuman levels of stamina - is troubling.


Witter is No.4 for the IBF, and is now looking for an eliminator. "6-9 months" for a World Title is Witter's aim.

As for Mayweather, Hatton and Cotto? "I'll destroy 'em!"

That was disapointing, i had Witter up by 1 point at the end of the fight. All the rounds were close, i dont think Witter dominated a single round.

Although i dislike Witter i hope he does well so Hatton will get credit when he finally gets round to destroying him, thats what i think will happen.

I cant see Witter beating Cotto or Mayweather either, the opponent tonight was an average fighter who fought a tight fight. I dont think Witter can fight effectively when the opponent has a good jab and it obvious Cotto and Mayweather have more than that.

BTW, it was good to see Steve Holdsworth commentating.

Lets see how Froch does, Barney will be more cagey than Witters opponent, hardly good match ups to showcase the sport on its return to national TV.

please add this to your ****** remarks section:

"Junior Witter will NEVER beat a quality opponent"

funny thing is, it's probably a true statement that will without question be passionately disagreed with, yet will remain a valid point for his entire meaningless career, IMO he's the UK version of Camacho Jr., better talker than prizefighter....he'll probably continue to beat C-listers overseas before getting a shot at a top dawg, then he'll get demolished and have every excuse in the world

witter was poor tonight hatton would destroy him!

You have to remember that Witter's opponent was no slouch though, no slouch at all. And Witter did look pretty damn good for the first half of the fight, particularly rounds 3 and 4 he was in pure cruise control and hardly hit.

Yeah, it probably took the edge off it by missing the beginning (I've got it taped, I'll watch it tomorrow). That said, he does seem to lose gas very quickly.
