Is this fool done yet? I personally think that unless he has an mri that shows massive damage to the elbow in question he should retire. he spent years talking trash to ricky hatton trying to goad him into a fight while never earning the right to fight him, now he fights like **** throughout the fight with alexander getting owned the whole time. i think he was over his head and wanted out no matter how he had to do it
I think Witter's performance against Alexander is very comparable to Acelino Freitas performance against Juan Diaz. Yeah, they quit, but it's time for them to RETIRE.
listen yea he wants to fight hatton hahhahahahahahahahah!!! witter quitter opened up a can of shitter
Suddenly Witter' arrogance does not look impressive. I'll need to see this fight (have not seen fight). - Was he pathetic? - Did anyone see this fight?
Its still not on youtube, sickened. I actually feel sorry for him, he looks like he had a meltdown. Although the gloating over hattons loss to mayweather was pretty nauseating.
Witter was getting tagged from time to time. It was weird to watch. Bradley in my view outworked Witter. Devon was catching Witter with punches. It was like Witter's flashy switch-hitting suddenly stopped working and the low front hand became a problem. Yet Witter was in the fight. Nate Campbell took far worse beating in the three rounds than Witter took in eight. So the decision to quit looked completely out of the blue.
with witter quitting like he did he may well be seen as a safe fight for hatton now,and when he gets beat by hatton and if hatton does not look too good,then hatton will be seen as a safe fight for khan
I think you're right. It seemed pretty obvious that Alexander was working his way to a 117-111 or 116-112 UD, but Witter was not getting tagged the way Campbell was by Bradley later on. Nevertheless, Bradley was not able to consistently get off the way Alexander was against the Briton.
I'll tell you now that Witter has a hell of a lot of respect in the UK and he pretty much destroyed it all last night- he's got a hell of a backlash from the media and fans alike over it. He'll be tainted forever now.
He had an injury. So thats not quitting. i mean if ur hurt there is only so far you can go. i am not a fan of him at all .but if u cant mobilizie your arm like u usually do (even ur non strong arm) then you are in real trouble. i dont look at it as just quitting. he had no other option
A bunch of people on ESB where doing the round by round. Most had it as a reasonably close fight some had it even, including myself. 2 judges had it alexander winning all but one round and the other had him winning them all. That judge must have gone to the john during the 4th? when Alexander might have landed 3 punches the entire round. Showtime had three writer "judges" and they had alexander up by three rounds or so. The ref goes over to Witter's corner and tells him that if he keeps one punching and then holding that he would deduct points. Witter promptly quit. Personally, I think he quit because he knew he was losing and might get KO'd eventually. You really didn't miss much by not seeing the fight. The ref is an idiot. You warn the dude during the action not between rounds. Witter was doing plenty of holding but Alexander wasn't dominating him. Alexander did rock him once and if he had more experience would have had him out of there. The other stumble by witter was a punch combined with poor balance by witter in my opinion.
watching the fight he showed no evidence whatsoever of having an injured elbow. he was using both arms just fine to one punch and grab from the fourth round on when he said he hurt his elbow. after the fight when he explained about his hurt elbow he still never showed even a bit of having hurt his elbow i think its bull****. right down to when he walked across the ring to congratulate alexander he primarily used his "bad" arm to mover alexanders trainer out of the way... real funny way yo take care of a hurt elbow
I think dude got old overnight Bradley will spank him again in a rematch we will always have the memory of The KO he received when he put his hands down and let that one guy KO him though.
Closest thing I can think of was O'Neill Bell saying "f*ck it" against Adamek. Witter was hurt by Alexander a couple of times, and was trying to get back into the fight with lots of movement and his jab, but he wasn't controlling the ring and there was no way he was going to win fighting that way on foreign soil. He wasn't getting beat up like Ortiz or Freitas, but the L was obvious to see coming.
