Herol used to have a ' friend' get in the ring congratulating him after his fights,if you look back at his older fights you'll see him climb in and hug Graham.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Yes herol was very camp wasn't he - is there something in the water in Sheffield?bigjack wrote:Lenny wrote:All boxers from Sheffield are camp.

I really don't understand why witter didn't just send a few boys around to "speak" to the guy instead of looking stupid on tv.

He probably wanted the 5 minutes of fame that being on Judge Ringer brought as well.
Re: Junior Witter on Judge Rinder?
It’s amazing how Witter gets remembered considering he amassesd a FIFTEEN fight CONSECUTIVE run of KOs/ TKOs at the European and Domestic level. His chance against Judah came a bit early. He should have fought more like he did against Harris.

Re: Junior Witter on Judge Rinder?
He won a world title and he wouldn't have got the chance to do that without the KO run. Saved his career which was ready for the scrap heap after the Judah fight. Amazing when you think of how dull performances have hardly damaged fighters recently. Judah had so much backing in them days and a late replacement novice(ish) Brit wasn't supposed to spoil the fightmagwitch wrote:It’s amazing how Witter gets remembered considering he amassesd a FIFTEEN fight CONSECUTIVE run of KOs/ TKOs at the European and Domestic level.

Re: Junior Witter on Judge Rinder?
Yeah that fight really ruined his career, it wasn't so much that he showed Judah up, which he did at times, but that he made the fight so negative, I remember there being loud boos throughout the fight, I think it was HBO if I recall? They never aired him again I believe.Lenny wrote:He won a world title and he wouldn't have got the chance to do that without the KO run.

Re: Junior Witter on Judge Rinder?
Tyson undercard as well wasn't it?
Yes Witter was very impressive that night versus Harris. One of the best performances in Doncaster you're likely to see. Corner could've got him disqualified for getting up on the ring apron before it had officially finished, however.
Think Clinton Woods' corner jeopardised him in his career defining win over Glen Johnson as well.

Re: Junior Witter on Judge Rinder?
the best i ever saw witter box was against guiseppi lauri, a punch perfect devastating display, find the video if you have not seen it. it was at the height of the hatton/witter arguaments. i firmly believed hatton ducked witter due to his power and the fight not being worth enough. the hattons did like their pennies!

I thought he was trying to get money out of Ricky Hatton for denying him a payday!

that was the problem with witter for me, he didn't really get that headline win
even harris had been smashed by maussa beforehand and we saw what hatton did to him
i remember he was linked to kelson pinto but seemed to not fancy it
