Cant do that, i can get the small version up within the hour but it takes 24hrs + to get the good quaility version.... I havent even got the good quality version yet!!

The average version is already up.

I'm amazed at how much trouble Witter seems to have with a simple jab... is this just for his last two fights or a regular thing?

I'm watching this right now on the sky replay (on round 9), I had to take a look at this thread beacause I'm heading out soon and won't be able to see it through to the 12th, but honestly, Witter doesn't look impressive so far, outside of some shots at teh end of the 6th and 9th.

32 isn't THAT old for a boxer... check out teh heavyweight division, and the p4p list. lots of guys over 30.

Good post though, anorak.

Yeah, it's just old for Witter because his entire style seems to be based around speed & reflexes.

Could it be he had two off nights?

I've seen it few times before, he seemed to be able to handle fighters like Judah better than he can a jabber. Anyone with good, strong pressure or a good jab can cause him major problems.

Ingle trained fighters are never comfortable when made to come forward & lead off first so Witter would probably look better against an attacking fighter(Imagine Johnny Nelson in with someone as negative as Lynes!!!) he'd look better but whether he would win or not is a different story, against Lynes nothing he did worked for him, it was only because Lynes wasn't doing **** that it was so wide on the cards, if Lynes had thrown more punches it would have been more interesting so I don't just blame Witter for this showing, Lynes looked content to survive & hear the final bell and we know that can make anyone look bad.
Junior hasn't impressed for ages now though & while 31/32 isn't that old these days, for the Ingle style of fighting you have to be spot on with your reflexes & timing so maybe Witter has just lost a bit of that.

Speaking of Johnny Nelson, when you see him commentating don't you think "get in the ring, you lazy bastard"? He's only fought once since 2003.

I know he has been sitting on that belt for a long time, he's fighting Vincenzo Cantatore in November away from home I think so for his sake I hope he's not too rusty.

Witter forced his punches and got frustrated early because Lynes just kept running around the ring.Witter should of cut off the ring and gave Lynes some body shots,that way he would have got him out of there within six rounds.

Yeah, it's interesting the way Ingle fighters are like a fish out of water when called upon to be attacking...
