Anyone got a link to the Witter knockdowns?

I was sorely tempted at 4pm on Sunday to plonk down £15 for Setanta, just to see the Witter fight really - now I'm glad I didn't, reading what their coverage was like - amateur night in Dixie by the sounds of it.

( and the BBC didn't even mention the Witter fight last night - WTF?! )

Junior sounds like he did the business for 6 rounds or so - anyone got the knockdowns?!

Must have been some shots to put over N'Dou?

cant believe that third hook didnt drop him... was in the tenth wasnt it

Thanks for that Wales

That last left hook looked a bomb. Always thought Frankie was doing Hatton a big favour keeping him out of Witter's way - just see him getting caught by those unorthodox shots early on - and there's NO DOUBT now: Witter hits with the best of em.

Saying that, if Hatton did manage to get out of the first 3 or 4 rounds, he probably grind out a points win. Risky fight though.

JW really looks like he is planting his feet much more than he did when he was younger. I always thought he was rather slight until the last few fights, but he seems to have filled out a bit without losing any of the awkward fluidity.

He is going to be a handful for anyone in that division, but I wonder if many of them will fancy the job

He'd be a handful for anyone in the light welter division, He's signed with De la Hoya so should get a shot somewhen soon, i can see them paying off Branco , so that they don't have to face him first, its a no point match

Witter will knock Branco out, that left hook in round 10 would spark out most light welters.

No way Branco will want a slice of Witter. He's wimped out before, watching Witter put in arguably a career-best show isn't going to give him any more balls.

Those shots are pure class that is the kind of performance which should increase Witters drawing potencial.

The clips are great but a little fast to appreciate the punches, the second shot doesn't look so hard but was a smart counter shot which caught N'dou out. That third hook/uppercut looks better and better everytime i see it. What Witter needs next is another 12 round fight that's IF he doesn't get a title shot, this 12 rounds has done him no harm at all. Put him in with someone like Omar Weiss or Ben Tackie IMO

One point the commentators made though i thought was a good one, Witter at times was switch hitting far too much to be effective, when he constantly switched he was losing the ability to get into good scoring positions
