I know I am in the minority here but I see Witter losing this - Harris will be well prepared and will be hungry for the win.

I say Witter has the not had the motivation until the last year or so
It must have been hard being defined by a last minute loss to Zab and being kept out of the big fights by his previous promoter.
Now that he can see the big fights within his grasp, I really don't see Witter not bringing it to Harris,Somebody's gonna get KTFO in this one. There is so much pressure on Witter to perform and I am sure even more on Harris,He has seen some big pay days in the past, I am sure he wants it all back.

Harris has never seen over a million for a fight I think so he has never had a big pay day as such. I think he wanted 750k to fight Hatton before and that would of been a record pay day for him.

He also had lots of trouble with his promotion outfit.

Harris asked for, and was then offered $750,000 to fight Hatton. He turned it because Hatton was going to be making more than him. I've read a few times that he's a nightmare to deal with, because he has an overinflated sense of self-worth.

Well Harris has been in the mix for some large pay days in the past,
Remember Harris was a HBO fighter
He must have been a real pain to deal with if he did not make that pay for him.
Witter must he's one fight away, he gets past Harris in style
a lot of doors will open up!

He needs to make it exciting.

If Witter beats him doing the usual routine, no one will give a shit. All the big names will pass as he will get a reputation as a high risk, low reward fighter since he can beat the likes of Harris but can't draw interest to himself while doing so.

They won't open that wide. Witter-Harris is a fight between two good fighters that nobody (in the big picture) cares about.

Very good fight.

Witter is quietly building up a very solid resume.

So is Harris, come to think of it.

Don;t think this one is going the distance. Witter by KO.
