Can see what your saying Deal, but do disagree - what is Magee to the American public. Its won't sell Witter cause Magee's on a losing run. Even if it Witter wins well, he's (according to the sceptics) beaten a domestic level fighter with a losing record. Nothing to write home about, so Showtime won't be interested.

Now, someone of say Micky Wards stature is what Showtime would be interested in. Someone like Omar Weiss.

But, I still hope this comes off an excellent fight - I still think Magee is top 20 in the world (maybe top 15) and would provide a stern test for Witter's whiskers.

Style wise Magee is wrong for Witter, if he comes through then he'd deserve his WBO shot.
