I think there will be a rematch, and surely Witter can't perform as badly again? Bradley said he would give Junior a rematch, if the money is right. Trouble is, who would pay to see a Witter fight with anyone?
Witter needs to forget about World level as he will never get granted a shot again. Rematch?? He is buzzing, he the hell is gona pay to watch that. The Americans wont go near him after saturdays performance. Alot of people started to believe the hype and he let himself and the boxing public down, he didnt even go out on his shield fighting till the end. He devalued the WBC strap with a performance like that, he needs to get real. He needs to retire or fight on the European scene or hope the WBU or WBF give him a call. I'm actually a fan of Witter but his performance and attitude was unacceptable.

Thing is, Witter would probably push harder in a rematch, be looking to throw harder shots. Yet potentially that'll leave him open to more of Bradley's right hands. The most interesting thing about the first fight was that, for the first time in years, Witter has an opponent that could beat him to the punch. Whether that was due to Witter's reflexes possibly slowing or Bradley being just plain quicker, I don't know and it doesn't matter - that should be cause for concern. If Witter is going to go for a rematch with the feeling of "it was a split decision loss and I'm sure I should've won actually" then that could be a huge error. In my eyes, in a lot of people's eyes, he lost that fight handily (I had it 116-111 Bradley) and he can't expect any favours in a rematch.
Im glad people are finally realising that Harris is and always has been poo. The fight deeply flattered Witter.
I reckon bradley might go for the rematch, hes still a bit green and what better for your first defence than a rematch with the guy you know you can beat.
So poo that Kostya was mooting a fight with him after he destroyed Sharmba. So poo that he was ranked number 3 in the world. So poo that he was world champ. You naysayers make me laugh.:roll:
I couldnt give a crap about no payday. Thats been a paltry and extremely flimsy excuse. Witter earnt his shot Hatton should have given it to him end of story. Now its all gone down the gutter thanks to Ricky.
He doesn't give a monkies about Witter, the fights place in boxing history, justice or any of the moral high ground he tries to claim over Hatton-Witter. He just hates Hatton and thats fair enough, I just wish he'd be honest about it.
