    Father
    Brother

    Olusegun can not sell **** either. At least Witter has been on ITV.

    Sky didn't even want to show your ass on the undercard as a passing highlight last time. That should be a pretty clear message about the opponents you are fighting.

    Then you try to come on here and rag on Witter's resume. You need Witter, not the reverse. Witter could just as happily fight for the European title and get more recognition and money. I couldn't give a toss about Witter, but thats how it is.

    Jeff we respect fighters and all titles however what I absolutely will not have is a clown like TFFP or whatever he calls himself slagging off the ABU title a prestigious title for the African continent. I am not slagging off the British and European title but pointing out that they are not titles of interest to an African fighter as the ABU title will not be of interest to non-African fighters.

    As for Witter they gave us 2 weeks notice surprise surprise when no doubt he has had the 8/9 weeks notice for a scheduled date. Irrespective of this we were so confident that we agreed to step in for this date and told them through our promoter how much we would take for this short notice assignment. They have not come back so draw your own conclusions. Mine is that they wanted to generate publicity but were not committed to the fight. It is not as if we are asking a lot for what is effectively a title eliminator is it not.

    I actually don't see Witter as a risk. It is only a risk if we are not properly prepared. The closest fighter Witter faced to Ajose was Zab Judah who beat him easily. Stylistically I see no problems but we will not be taking on any more short notice assignments. We have done it for years never again. Why the hell should a fighter on the verge of a world title shot fight anyone for free which is more or less what Hennessy were asking us to do.

    Zab was a lot better then, than Olusegun is now.

    The reverse applies to Witter.

    It might be prestigious for you on a personal level, but in a world sense the ABU...it means jack ****.

    Witter had the European and WBC title, and beat the required opponents along the way, including the current WBA champ. That is where the credibility comes from.

    We don't know who the hell you have to fight for the WBU, WBF or whatever, and whoever they are they ain't done **** on the world stage. This is why you have zero credibilty to be making claims other than being a talented domestic fighter, and certainly not to be asking what others have done.

    I don't know why people pander to you on here, just because you are in somebodys camp. You are a hypocritical sack of ****.

    Bradley kicked Witter's arse it was not Witter having a shocker. anybody fast and who can fight will trouble Witter period. Witter is the chump mate.

    You are probably a shirt liftting ****** if the truth be known. How you can defend the likes of Morua is unbelievable. I don't speak to idiots and racists like you trying to denigrate the African title.

    Witter DID have a shocker - though credit to Bradley, he fought well and deserved the win.

    You don't have to be fast to beat Witter, though it helps - workrate is the key.

    I don't recall Ajose outworking anyone decent for quite a while - and even then, nobody anywhere near the level of Witter.

    An unbeaten record, taking every professional title available to him, beating up capable fighters in higher weight divisions like Light Middleweight and Welterweight. There is a reason we have gone up so high in the world ratings. What exactly had Gavin Rees done to deserve the title shot when he got it other than have a promoter get him the title shot.

    How can you defend your last 2 fights? Again, this is where you are a hypocrit. Morua looks a beast compared to the jokes you are feeding on. And by the way, Denton Vassell did a far more impressive job on Spitko.

    The only verge Olusegun is on is the path to oblivion. Talented kid, but with the nonsensical team backpatting him and giving him a false sense of reality he ain't going anywhere.

    Point taken regarding Rees - but most likely he was called up on a week's notice.

    You had the chance to fight Witter on a couple of week's notice and ran away.

    Unbeaten records mean nothing - does Julio Cesar Chavez crack the top 10 at 154 on the basis of having this?

    Is Hatton rated lower now than he was say 2004, because the 0 has gone?

    You are a mass of contradictions my friend, and resorting to petty namecalling just makes you look even sillier.

    Are you sure as you sound like you toss Witter of regularly.
