Just watched the Witter fight...

I think his speed and reflexes where still good.

As i said its just that he is now fighting good opponents who can work him out.

 

That's how it felt to me as well. Injury reasons have come up but it did seem like a kind of flash decision on the night, even in the way he rushed to his feet and across the ring...a bit like someone doing something in agitated irritation.

It's a disaster for Witter, plain and simple. As said, when you're the President of the Who Needs 'Em club, you have to push like hell all the time to force people to fight you and this result is just handing ammo over to your critics. Even a wide points loss, boxing one-handed, wouldn't have been as bad.

 

Good post. I personally think Witter's been on the slide for a couple of years. His reflexes are definitely going. He had a good first round but it became clear after that that his timing was off. Sad viewing, there's nowhere for him to go now. I hope he's looked after his money.

 

An abc title holder is exactly what he was.

 

wonder if Hatton finally fancies meeting his biggest domestic rival of the last decade.
