After rewatching the fight today i dont believe Witter is shot or has slowed down as people say. To be honest i thought he looks the same as he always has, its just that he has fought better fighters in 2 out of his last 3 fights. They wernt old like Corley, journeymen like Morua or b level fighters like Harris. Bradley is shining through at 140 and Alexander looks like the goods aswell, i just think he has fought 2 guys who wernt intimidated by his alleged punching power and were able to outbox and out fight him.
All we got is his performance, how he threw punches, his reaction afterwards None of these things suggest an injury to me Looked much more like his heart wasn't in it, his head wasn't right, and within minutes of pulling out it dawned on him what he'd done
Yeah ive gotta agree, just watched the fight today and the injury was to his pride and heart not his hand/elbow/arm or whatever. I'm a witter fan and ive always thought he'd beat hatton, i just dont think he's quite up to the level of opposition he's fought in his last few outings, or he's got to this level a little too late.
When yer consider his age & his fighting style relying on his reflexes it was going too happen sooner rather than later when a more youthful opponant mentaly & physicly would just outwork him, I like the feller, nice guy that just never had the real big deal connections & what with his style he was never going 2 crack the PPv market such as it is today. So easy too bandy that disrespectful word around "Quitter" when this guy had won & defended the premier belt i.e WBC & not some supermarket TV shopping belt:smoke
