All That's Left To Happen Now Is....

...Witter to lose and then that caps a terrible spell of recent luck for British Boxing. I actually rate Bradley and am going to put my neck on the block and be the first to predict he wins on Saturday night. Hoping Witter does the business but still, I am getting a suspicious feeling "Desert Storm" might beat him.

Anyone else agree or am i on my lonesome?

If Witter doesn't make an impression with his power early, Bradley will outwork him and beat the fight out of him. Witter's a hard punching bully. If you can take that power away from Witter (making him miss or posessesing a good chin) he gets clueless pretty quickly. Bradley's beaten nobody of note, but he's young, ambitious and can throw a lot of shots to head and body. Witter's 34 and doesn't like fighting two minute's a round, let alone three. I give Bradley a good shot here if he can get into the second half. Witter blasts early but doesn't do a lot in the second half of fights.

Not sure if I know enough about Bradley to commit - but I have been told for a while now that he is the dark horse... could be interesting.

Well, Joe of course did the business.... JUST.

its certainly going to be a close one, Bradley does have the goods

Yes, from Terry's description of Bradley, this sounds very intriguing. I am adamant that a hard working fighter with a good chin can beat Witter. Had Ndou not gone down (which is testament to Witter's power) then I believe he might have got the decision on the cards.

Kotelnik also looked like he had the beatings of Witter at the end, after a poor start.

I think it sounds like Bradley natural style relies on a good engine, possibly better than these two.

Witter has said, and many of his fans agree, that he fights best against a come forward fighter. I have yet to see Witter against a good enough aggressive fighter to be convinced this is the case... sounds like Bradley could be good enough to test this theory.

Really looking forward to this... been looking forward to seeing Bradley for a while.

Terry thought Harris was going to win though.

Harris is more of a counter puncher though, thought to give Witter more problems than come forward types.

I think Terry is going for Witter this time.

I don't know enough about Bradley to comment...but weirdly enough I did have a dream the other night where Bradley stopped Witter in the 8th round, interesting to see if I have mystic powers come saturday.

I haven't seen him but his record looks excellent against lower level operators, he looks a beast too

I'd still watch this card because you have 3 good Brits Witter (world champ), Froch (world class contender) and Murray (prospect).

I would have looked forward to this, however there were 2 outstanding fights on this show that are no longer which is a shame.

Nope. I said if it ended early it would be Witter. Harris' only chance to frustrate on points by using range.
That was a short month off Tel!

This place is addictive, like your first bag of scag.. :o
