Branco pulls out of Witter fight
We don't want another Witter 2 round drupping though do we, some of those fights post Judah have been shown on Showtime, this didn't impress the US people and the likes of Larkin because of the low level of the opponents.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Are you kidding me? Augustus is a terrible choice, the guy is awkward as fornicate, and often makes his opponents look like complete plonkers. Plus he has no standing on the world stage at all. If I were Witter's management no way in god's earth would I put him in with Augustus.
While I agree Augustus is not in the top ten in the governing bodies, he is a RESPECTED figure in the US - everyone knows he beat the world ranked Burton. Whilst Witter has the world ranking, who would the American's rather see take on the champions - they would pick Augustus because they know he would be competive against the very best in the devision.
Augustus would jump at the chance to fight Witter (because of the world rankings) and any win would be respected in the US because Augustus is respected.
