He looked like he got old to me. Hes f ucked now, TV wont want to know him again and no belt holder will touch him. He just didnt work.

I have to say it......HES LUCKY HE WASNT IN WITH RICKY TONIGHT!

I really liked that Bradley, he worked hard and really earn that victory. Split desision my arse!

Where is DG ??


I've always said that Witter would beat Hatton because of his style, but on that performance tonight, I have to agree that it's a good job Witter wasn't in with Hatton.

i dont think he got old, i just think he got outworked, and outfought by the more hungry fighter. it's not the first time witetr has'nt looked brilliant, it's just this time it's cost him.

yeah good point. maybe tired is a better word. Interesting what all the fairweather anti-hatton lot will have to say.

he's hanging with the daily telegraph readers over on boxrec.

bet hes feeling reesos pain right about now!

The King is here!

Bradley did well tonight, not a food performance from Witter!

Hatton should have taken the Witter fight!

Hatton is still a fraud, HATTON would NEVER fight a young hungry fighter like Bradley!

Just because you were told to grow up and stop being a biitch!

I thought I would come and say hello to the retards!

your a bitter old man Dennis.



smile for the camera.

Bradley beats Hatton.

Believe it.

Nah, he's not that special. Witter just couldn't be bothered to throw punches this evening, and allowed himself to be bullied by the smaller man. Hatton would be a completely different kettle of fish.

Have to disagree Bradley is nothing special, but he put in a good performance tonight against Witter, who lets face it is nothing special himself regardless of how much DG likes to big him up

Where's Simpson's these days

witters nothing special now then.

B4 the fight he was gona knock ricky from pillar to post.

Oh my, how boxing can change in 1 fight.

boxing fans r so fickle.

If your referring to me me Stevie, i've long been of that opinion especially after the Koletnick and Lynes fights. The Harris knockout was good one, but Junior has looked far from impressive in many of his fights. Sadly for him Bradley is a good fighter with a sound defense and a decent punch and made Witter pay for those silly lunges.

no nothing personal delroy, but it'll b interesting to see just how quickly "dangerous" witter is forgot about.

southern california represent!


@ D.G. trying to hid his depression.

and people say floyd weren't a puncher.

smile for the camera junior.

DG is not depressed about it - its BOXING!

Fighters fight and win and lose.


I GUARANTEE you HitmanGayboyHatton1 felt a lot worswe after Htton got mash doan like a dawwg!

Ps,

Hatton has been put down by lesser fighters than Bradley.

Witter looked shot last night to me.
He did naff all really.
Hard to see a way back now, maybe he should go up a weight.

Hatton would have stopped him last night but Hatton is still crap its just that Witter is crappier

Errm lets see. Hatton goes to the USA several times fights a higher weight against one of the greats of the last 10 years. He gets the bums rush from the ref and gets ko'd in the 10th.

Witter won't fight abroad fights a decent but almost unheard of fighter with barely 20 fights under his belt. By simply fighting at his own pace he out works Witter from round one. With barely a 50% ko record he puts Witter on his back and courses such concern with Witter that he fights on the back foot for the rest of the fight. In the 12th when it was obvious to anyone who was watching that Witter needs a knockout, what does Witter do?

A= Fight like a dervish looking for the KO.
B= Fight on the back foot, because that’s all he can do.

Home advantage, taller longer reach, better KO record, jez no wonder the bookies had Bradley at 5-1 the best odds of the weekend.

Junior is by no means a finished fighter, but he is in a quandary. He's not box office. He relies 100% on his opponents to make his fights exciting, but against certain fighters he can be deadly, but that will not be enough. I expect him to fight for the European crown next and have to travel to have any chance of a world title fight.
The US audience will have wondered what all the fuss is about.
Witter wanting to fight Hatton is like clipper board guy asking for the same credits as a director on a film, Junior has a very good style as long as his opponents come straight at him without moving the head. Junior ran for 12 rnds against Judah, but he had only had 9 days notice. Junior had the whole of his career to prepare for the moment that he might have to force a fight.
Last night a cynic, might say, Witter was shown up for being a one dimensional, one paced fighter, I'm not a cynic, I'm a Leo.

None of what happened last night changes my opinion than 1) Witter deserved to fight Hatton 2) Hatton was scared to fight Witter. It is all academic now but one thing doesn't change the other. I am not a fair weather Witter fan either I am a jaded Hatton fan, but that is the way I see things.

Exactly.


Hatton waited for Witter to get beat, pity he did not have the guts to fight him himself.


Hatton was a conman and last night changes nothing.

Hatton would have massacred Witter if Witter fought like that against him.

I feel a bit sorry for Junior

After waiting so long to get his hands on the WBC he deserved to make it to a point where he could earn some decent money off it. I mean, he would have got paid a pitance to defend it against the little mexican guy (cant remember his name) and Haris in an empty Donny Dome. He was just starting to get his name about for a decent pay day against a big name, and then BANG! he falls at the last hurdle. It could all have been so much different had he got the D Hopkins fight over in the US. Oh Well, Colin Lynes v Witter part 2 it is then.

IDK, its different. no one expected hatton to beat floyd. so it wasn't really a bad loss. kinda like how no one expected bradley to beat witter, except the underdog pulled this one out.

i'd rather see witter fight someone like olusegun.

surely they could try and get that to be a wbc mandatory fight.

ajose is top 10 rated and witter did just lose a split decision.

just a thought.

Well I lapsed from my usual patriotic stance and actually cheered when Witter was put on his arse, please let this be the end of the "Witter has the style to beat Hatton" BS. This was the Kotelnik fight all over again, sure Bradley was a different style of fighter but essentially it was the same story from Witter, once he realised that he could not intimidate his opponent nor fool him with his unorthordox style he was completely clueless, there was no plan B. The difference between this fight and Kotelnik is that Bradley made the judges job much easier by throwing more shots and forcing the pace as where Kotelnik threw almost as little as Witter. I was ranting at the tv throughout the fight at Duke Mackenzies summarising, what fight was he watching?

If Lynes fights Witter again then I think I'd fancy him to win, he has come on quite a bit since the last fight and I think he could sneak a decision.

I think Lynes beats him by UD. Witter has only got one style and Bradley has just given any thinking boxer the pass word to beat him. Lynes is smart and as you say, much improved, he will have taken everything on board and be ready if he gets the call.

Witter looked spent and didn't show the same speed and ability as he used to. He was beaten by an average fighter who had done some serious research and worked out the code. I was shouting at the TV after the knock down when his corner were telling him to just keep running and doing the same as before. He was not shaken (he has a reasonable chin) and needed different tactics but his timing and accuracy were nowhere.

I don't know whether he will ever get another shot again as I believe his lunging style spoils the fights flow and doesn't make for good TV.
