    Before Tim Bradley came to england and when the fight was first announced allot of boxing writers wrote bradley off, i'd just watched bradley beat miguel vasquez and for me it was very clear Junior witter was out of his depth in this fight, i'm sure allot of ppl on here believed witters hype and thought he would beat up bradley, I Think witter fought the best fight he could fight, but tim bradley is too fast, too strong, and too skilled for a fighter of witters calibre,

    i am a witter fan and was gutted when he lost thinking he would win:|.
    i am sure i read an article though stating the night be fore the fight bradley was walking round his hotel like a man posessed recieting the bible to himself honestly.

    After seeing Buster Douglas beat Oliver McCall it was clear to me Tyson was out of his depth. True story.

    vasuez put on a good show, it was obviously watching those 2 fighters fight where witter stood, witter has huge lapses and against a fighter like bradley if you have lapses your ****ed

    I actually bet on Bradley to win that fight. Got good odds as I recall.

    I think Witter had suffered a bereavment but from what I'd seen of Bradley I thought 'decent, no pop, he's coming over here, Witter has the experience'.

    Bradley nullified him throghout and sat him on his arse. I was very impressed.

    I felt Junior would win. I saw Bradley was undefeated and when i saw promo on ITV leading into fight i thought he might be a difficult prospect but still felt Junior would do the biz. It took me a while to warm to Bradley and appreciate him as a fighter and it was really the Holt fight when i started to get over fact he beat Junior who i was and still am a fan of. Bradley emerged that night and his confidence going in was sign of things to come...his will to win is on another level to many.

    I don't think any of us knew anything of Bradley to be honest. I'd never seen him before.

    Yeah beating Vasquez was so impressive at the time :lol:

    I thought Witter would win, champ taking on a young unproven guy at home, 9 out of 10 times the champ would take it, especially as there was no hype around Bradley

    I thought Witter would win I'd never seen Bradley and the press were writing him off.

    Bradley won clearly in my eyes, the card in Witter's favour was pretty dubious
