Witter did bloody well, ignore the HBO wankers - Witter won 4 rounds in my book - maybe 5!
If you honestly think it's worth getting, I'll add it to my list for Red Dragon next week.
However, if it's poop, you owe me £1,000.
Think you'll find I'm firm but fair.
D.G is right on this occasion.
I watched the fight recently after ordering it on DVD, and although he lost clearly, you got the impression that with just a bit more self belief, he could have beaten Zab. He made Judah look absolutely amateurish at times, and looked like the class fighter of the two.
I gave him four rounds I think.
The Showtime backlash was at least partly to do with the fact that 'Super' Zab Judah was made to look ordinary. Witter was meant to go over there, give it a go, and get bashed up to make Judah look good. It was all nice and cushy between Jay Larkin and Warren, and it backfired and Larkin never forgave Witter.
For the record I gave him two. I don't give points for cowardice, if I did Johnny Nelson would have been unbeaten

Now you've forced me to get it, just to see who's right.
Hitman, I remember you saying before the Witter-Harris fight that if Junior wins then it is time for Ricky to fight him?? Is that still your opinion?
The Calzaghe-Froch situation is different to the Hatton-Witter one, Hatton-Witter have gone through the same stages of their careers at the same time and the fight has been called for for ages. Froch and Calzaghe have always been at different stages of their careers
alright stu. :P
yeah i did say that.
and i still stand by that.
the fight should be made.
but there's still a part of me that loves to see u lot moan about it till ya blue in the face.
let witter squirm a bit longer.
Fair play to ya for sticking to what your word.
Even Rickys Die-Hardest fan is saying that it's time for him to fight Witter

Do enlighten me......Soooo when Junior was getting beaten off a chinny novice who was HAtton fighting.
Junior won!
Check out the bill. Hatton was matched tough.

oh yeah...sorry..read your post wrong...good card, Damon Reed golden trunks... ..he was shite.
I want to see Hatton demolish Witter but you and others calling a guy who has has 40+ pro fights a coward is a bit rich for my gout hating blood.
I’ve never really been able to buy into the excuse Witters people give to the Judah loss.
The only slight excuse they may have is that he had only 17 previous fights as opposed to Zab who’d had 23 previous.
Witter had been a pro 3yrs and 5mths.
Judah had been pro about 4ths longer.
Witter was 26yrs old.
Judah was 22yrs old.
Both guys were scheduled to fight – so the late notice change would have affected Zab worse than Witter I’d think. Because wasn’t he supposed to be fighting an orthodox type fighter? .. not an unorthodox switch-hitter.
Watching the fight again - it’s the same Junior Witter of today, I didn’t see anything he left out when fighting Judah that he does now.

Its about 'perceived ' levels.
Witter was decent domestic - Za one of the best in the World.

i think ya gonna be disappointed for a little while yet.
malignaggi in new york will happen after lazcano/isaac.
I could live with that I suppose. Especially if Ricky stops him, something which Cotto couldn't do, but after that, he's got to unify against Junior, providing Junior still has that belt. If he doesn't then his legacy will be tarnished, and he'll always be known for avoiding his main English rival - it's actually not as if they're new to each other as they've being touting each other for ages, so for this fight not to happen will be a massive comedown on Ricky's career, which would be sad, but a little justified in my opinion.
Its Wrists fault he started the stupid thread, I tried to ignore it, but it was nagging away at me
