    Its hard to tell. I mean who is gona want to fight this guy? Bradley wont touch him again. He might get a shot at the WBA or IBF Strap but he isnt highly ranked by these bodies. Either way its gona be very tough for the guy to make noise at World level again.

    I think he looked better with the more orthodox technique - more compact, sitting on his punches a bit better.

    This fight tells you very little - anyone who sees otherwise needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

    The opponent was an Argentinian nobody called in probably on a week's notice (as is the norm here for comeback fights) and let's face it, he quit like a ***** as well.

    Witter can still be as tricky as he was before, and for my reckoning he's still the hardest one-punch knockout artist in the division (never seen Torres K.O someone with one shot though he's obviously a close second)

    I had him beating Ricky before, but mainly because he had the psychological edge. Witter was seen as an 'unbeatable' LWW, as many put th Judah loss down to various factors (short notice, got scared being on T.V, Judah was in his prime)

    Witter is strong, tricky, has a very good chin, and posseses HUGE power....when he lets his hands go!!!!!!

    I hope Witter can get back in the mix, however, one of my dream fights has now been shelved for good. Without the WBC strap Witter has nothing Hatton wants, and now Witter has lost to Bradley the public have basically given up on this matchup.

    Shame.

    he did give up very easily, although he was in a state.
    witter did look good but he also got caught quite a few times, seemed to be a bit more stationary around the head than usual.

    He will be fighting Bradley in the states.

    If Witter brought his A game he should be too good for Bradley in a rematch. Witter was clearly not himself in the first fight

    he looked a little bit slower to me, to be honest I think in a rematch you'd have to make Bradley the favourite, he's a good fighter and obviously a hell of a lot fresher, it'd take a very good performance to beat him.
