Witter took the fight with Zab on a week's notice and still went the distance with him, no mean feat.

Witter lost that fight only by a round or two. Considering how hyped Zab was at the time Witter deserved way more credit for that one than he got and a rematch.

Styles. Judah didn't deal in the kind of mauling pressure Hatton dealt in.

Should also be mentioned that Witter turned in a legendarily negative showing against Judah (who was visibly bemused and scornful of Junior's flat refusal to make any kind of contest), eschewing all engagement and essentially boxing in survival mode all night, due to being out of his depth at that point in his career. Kudos to him for getting in with a highly rated talent like Judah on short notice while a green, developing fighter, but he offered nothing except for posing and running — it was always going to be difficult for a young guy like Zab, whose style doesn't commit to all-out offense, and who himself was not yet the seasoned campaigner who managed to get rid of a contrary Cory Spinks, to put enough hurt to force a stoppage on a guy who set his stall out like that.

I give Witter a pass for his performance due to the short notice and where he was at in his development, but, outside of his willingness to get in the ring with Zab, that fight isn't really a feather in his cap.

Witter probably won four or five rounds that night. You are just a hater.

Hatton. Simply too much pressure.
