    It should be Ajose Olusogen (spelling?) vs McCloskey....Witter should be fighting top-rated fighters and trying to get another World title shot.

    I'd really have high hopes for McCloskey, but he's quite old to be named an 'exciting prospect'. Then again, so was Nate Campbell and look what he's done.


    Urango is moving up to Welterweight, Campbell vs. Witter for the vacant IBF belt (or Witter vs. Paulie) would be ideal, sad thing is, no one wants to fight Witter, as when they win they look bad, and when they lose they get KTFO!

    Witter vs McCloskey is an awful clash of styles. Witter has way to much for him at the moment.

    source???????



    if quiet brian peters and fat mick get their heads together the fight will be a sell out in the odyssey in belfast with a good tv audience... bigger stadium that prob fill in ingerland and with the amount of flights over to belfast cheaper than the train to london anyone from cross the pond can go over for a jolly up weekend.belfast is a sweet fight town


    as for the fight itself, not sure i could pick a winner at this stage :think

    Why fight Witter yesterday's man when he can Ajose Olusegun for the combined, European, Commonwealth and British title.

    Because a win over Witter would mean more to everybody on the planet, apart from you.

    Because fighting Olusegun wouldn't be for the European title and the European title means a lot more than the British and Commonwealth titles.

    Olusegun is only ranked #8 in Europe and if Witter wasn't to fight McCloskey then presumely European #2 Souleymane M'Baye would.

    Also Witter is ranked #2 by the WBC and a former champion who has proven himself at World level, Olusegun has never fought above domestic level so a win over him wouldn't prove nearly as much.

    Not sure how a McCloskey v Witter fight would go, but you can bet it'd be ugly.

    McCloskey may be able to beat Witter and I would support him but he will never be able to beat Ajose Olusegun.
