116-111 in favor of Bradley.

Witter looked gassed in the corner after about 5 rounds despite his energy efficient style.

I had it 117-110 for Bradley. In no way did I see this fight being close. The Witter scorecard of 115-112 was a farce. Even 114-113 for Bradley seems bad. So, the fight was 6 rounds a piece and a knockdown won it? BS..........

The rounds Bradley lost, he just didn't do enough. Witter can shut the hell up about the Hatton fight now. I never liked him, thought he would beat Hatton, or thought Witter was good. The Harris fight made Witter look better then what he really was.

I've only got one word to say and I don't like to be so blunt but what a PRICK, if that's all Witter can offer in such an important contest well there another career finished, and Hatton is suddenly redeamed! If the two met on current form with Hatton 'lunging & holding' & Witter NOT even punching it's no wonder people fell & are falling away from Boxing.

Who are these Champions with their RJJ type style and not even punching...

Cal/Hopkins pure STENCH
Clinton Woods wasn't in the fight & Tarver was NO top fighter either.
DeLaHOYA hang em up please
Jnr Witter goodbye, it's over now

and why should we be 'inflicted' with Promoter driven fights that secure their over-the-hill mediocre champions and deny/deprive new, younger and better fighters their 'right' to fight??? Is there No Boxing Board, Commision or sanctioning body that TELLS them who they ARE fighting to keep the right order of contenders to eliminations to championship contests going.

Boxing is not only efen Rubbish it's down right Shamefully embarrising.

I like Rawling in general, he is a solid commentator and a good writer in the Guardian. However if i had a criticism (or two) it would be his scoring and also his ability to land punches for fighters!

What i mean there is he often says things like, "Oh, good left hook by...." when you saw it clearly missed or was blocked. He landed two solid right hands a left hook to the body for Macarinelli when he fought Haye :D

As for Duke well...."Murray needs to really put his finger on the gas now John" :TU:
