No surprise here. I tried to tell everyone and as for that clown who writes for ESB...typical anti Euro shite. He predicted Castillo would **** Hatton and predicted that Harris would destroy Witter within 4. I knew Harris was getting done, Witter is a BANGER and has a solid chin too.
the few times i'd seen witter before i'd been pretty underwelmed and so wasn't expecting an exciting fight, but he put on a great performance and has won me over. nice one! as for hatton, i still don't think it will happen so would like him in a unification fight with malignaggi next
I remember you tipping Witter to win easily Strike. Good call. I sadly missed the Witter fight as I was watching the other fight, but thats one helluva scalp for Witter. Hopefully now he will get his proper respect, he deserves it. I would even class this as one of the greatest english wins in a boxing ring in modern history. Everyone should forget Hatton for a minute, & just give Witter credit as a great english world champion in his own right.
I agree with Dunky. Witter deserves full credit. This is the best performance I have seen from him in years against a guy in Harris who can be dangerous. It is not just the win but the manner of victory that was impressive capping an excellent performance. Interesting and intriguing possibilities in this division.
It was a very impressive performance. When Juniors' timing is right he has world class power, he has a decent chin too. Hatton won't go near him, a fight against Gavin Rees for a second belt would be interesting, he could do the american thing too. Well done Witter!
Good result for Witter - but really it should be he who forgets about Hatton - he doesn't need Hatton does he? His career will be past and he'll think - why didn;t i just follow my own path? Perhaps he will now - big fights should await him now.
the witter fight finished early enough to watch both fights live! (i missed about 45 seconds of simpson-morris) missed all the post-fight analysis and **** though
