Im thinking of letting Witter win his QF which i think he should do then laying him on at better odds on betfair. I just cant see how he can win with his style i expect El Maachi or Lynes to outwork him at some point.

correction Thomas not peter
Here is a post from another forum about El Maachi by Kevin Maree that sheds some light
Hi all just to clear a few things up about Yassine El Maachi.
Almost 2 years ago i was putting on a show with Steve Woods. We matched El Maachi with Thomas McDonagh.
Before the fight i was going round the dressing room to make sure everyone was ok etc and i saw el maachi sat on his own. I asked him where his trainer was he told me he had just come on his own. I told him i could warm him up but didnt want to do his corner because i knew Thomas and didnt feel rite. I got out my pads and was shocked when he started throwing punches, i couldnt believe it power, speed etc. However in the fight he hardly threw a punch. I was confused but thought he must just be one of those guys who look good on the pads but cant perform in the fight.
A few month later i was in Glasgow with Gomez and Yassine was on the undercard v Eammon Goodbrand. We remembered eachother from Colne, again he was on his own so i said i would look after him. Before the fight when i was doing his hands i said to him 'Lets get a good win tonight' he just shrugged his sholders. I couldnt believe his reaction. When i asked him what was going on he told me he was worried if he won he wouldnt get anymore fights. This then answered my question as to why he was so different on the pads then in the fight. At that point i promised him i would get him fights if he won that night. He beat Goodbrand easily!!!
I backed up my promise, Yassine started training at my gym and we started getting him fights.
You have all herd the story about the Malonie bet. I cant think of anyother boxer in this country who wouldnt just bet on a win, but bet that he would knock an unbeaten fighter out! Thats just one of many stories with Yassine, the guy weighs 10st 10 most of the time so the 10 7 welterweight limit is a breeze for him, yet when he was offered Jamie Ambler at 12 st 3 he didnt complain he jumped at the chance and knocked ambler (who rarely gets stopped) in the 2nd. He has also beat spitko twice, spitko weighing a stone heavier both times. Again can you think of another welter who would go through with this fight. His record with me which is a true refection is won 7 (4ko) lost 0
Ive had Yassine Sparing some of the best Middleweights and Supermiddles in the country and he more than holds his own.
The early losses are not a reflextion of his ability. When your told win and your not getting any fights what do you expect.
My point is, if your a boxing fan, if you appreciate a good boxing story. If you want to see real talent get a chance. Lets get behind thos guy. He is a diamond!!!
In the two years i have had him we have packed our bags 4 times to fight unbeaten prospects in Germany and Poland only to be cancelled before we set off to the airport. He has also been matched with alot of the the top 10 light middle weights i this country again cancelled at the last min. The guy doesnt loose heart and just gets on with it. He just loves the sport!
A true fighting man!!!!!!!
Managed to get 4/1 on El Maachi, saw the 5 available last week but forgot to get it on.
Stuck a couple of quid on Nathan Graham too just because i fancied going with one of the outsiders and i don't think this format will suit Witter. No idea if he's any good!
