At the end of the 3rd Witter hits Judah with a tremendous left uppercut and it hits Zab in the throat and Judah makes the face he usually makes when hes under pressure or stunned Witter wasnt seen as a puncher back then but i think Judah was hurt a bit in the fight?
Witter had a great start and was probably winning the fight early but Judah really hurt him in the 5th, looking at his record he had never been in with anyone with Judah's power, late rounds Judah was lannding with some pretty heavy shots and Witter took them, but round 6 onwards he just didnt want to be tagged and went ultra defensive. I remember after the fight the UK press actually thought what the fuss was about when it came to Judah and they gave Witter a lot of credit, thinking Judah was overrated after the fight, the US press just slammed Witter, saying he disgraced boxing.
I had it level up to the 5th Zab won that round and then just made Witter defensive I dont think the UK press should have been on Judahs back anyone would look awkward against Witter he makes u look bad.
i downloaded this fight recently and tried to watch it but it was too boring and this is coming from a Hopkins fan.
i was ringside in Glasgow that night and it was hard to score and uneventful.. i doubt either man was really hurt but Witter really didn't do anything but be very illusive it was a clash of awful styles.. but by no means did Witter look out of his depths...
It was the first time You saw Zab Judahs greatest weakness his mentality yea he won and easily to but u could see his frustration and was even copying Witters clowing which showed Witter got in his head.
I thought it was good that Witter survived, but realistically thats all he did! He didnt go there to win and his performance was poor. I think that any elite/top tier fighter that can pressure Witter or make him uncomfortable will force him into a defensive shell. whilst he will try to land the big bomb.
Hmm, I dont know, Ingle changed his style to counter puncher after the fight, which put him on a good run, and his bad patch from 2004-5 he was carrying an injury.
