Split decision? i had Bradley a clear winner.
Can't see how that judge scored it 115-112 to Witter.

Very disapointed in Witter tonight, watched it with a mate who doesn't know much about boxing, and he asked why is Witter waving his glove about, he looks like the karate kid.
Not alot i could say, except i wouldn't teach anyone to do that.

Hats off to Bradley, he came and worked out a plan, and stuck to it.

I had it 114-113 to Bradley, but I would have had it 115-112 to Bradley if I didn't favour the champion.

The Witter scorecard was a bit of a farce.

UD Bradley easy. Witter was awful.

It wasn't a close fight in my opinion, Rawling was on another planet with his commentating tonight.

I had it 117-111 Bradley.
Witter did nothing.

8 rounds to 4. Not competitive in the slightest. Bradley only dropped rounds when he got a bit complacent after dropping Witter. Aside from that, he won pretty much everything. Witter just had no answers unfortunately.

Glad Bradley got the nod at the end. Was really worried that we were going to screw the poor American Glencoffe Johnson-stylee.

Wasn't close... disgraceful that he had it to Witter at all - and by that margin.

I thought giving Witter 4 rounds was being a tad on the kind side.

I think it could even be a much as 11-1 to Bradley... cause the 3 rounds I scored to Witter were close.

Yeah i thought of Glencoffe Johnson as well when Lennon said split decision.
Glad the right bloke got it in the end though.

I had it 115-112 in favour of Bradley.Junior just never really got going and was eating that right hand all night.

What fight was the judge who scored it 115-112 Witter watching? Other than the close early rounds it was pretty clear to score after that.

When the Witter card got announced first - I was shitting myself.

It was not fecking 'close' Mgugan, duke and straight boy John can piss off...........

margins were a bit debateable.

it was competitive for the most part.

bradley should have got the UD though.

when i saw the wbc guy lurking behind junior i thought bradders was getting screwed.

yeah, i'm sure they used to announce split decisions with the winner getting the first score read out.
Maybe it was just one of the annoucers that used to do that.

I actually won a bet like that once.

Not wishing to pry on your personal issues, but how did you arrive at a unanimous decision, have you got a split personality issue????

I know i've had too many red wines, it took me ages to work out what you meant

Close but no doubt Bradley won.

Alot of counter shots still landed on Bradley.

Fair play mate despite all the red wind you have drunk you are the only person who got it.

Had it Bradley 114-113. He is no great shakes but that doesn't say much for Witter either.

I don't think it was close. Bradley won clearly for me by about 3 rounds and 4 points.

I had to laugh at Duke at the end of the fight. He had Bradley up by 2 points going into the last. Bradley won the 12th fairly comfortably in my book and then he turns around and says he has Bradley by a point. Talk about hedging your bets in the event of a controversial decision.

Yeah.... thought Bradley won the last 3 clear cut.

Witter won the first clear and might have fiddled 7, 8, 9 - and thats a might IMO.

Bradley won the rest.

That's how I had it - Witter 7,8,9 & Bradley 10,11,12

And to be honest, if you'd have given 7, 8, 9 to Bradley also - I wouldn't have argued.

Me neither. I'm glad the right person won.

I didn't keep keep a running scorecard for this Stu tbh. If I see this fight again in a completely obective mindset I might even have it wider for Bradley. For example I gave Witter the edge in the first 3 rounds, and all square after 7 rounds. Bradley, as you say, winning the last 3 rounds when Witter really needed them.

Fair enough, Stick and Move. To be honest - I thought I was scoring it as best I could for Witter. I just thought Bradley beat him to the punch time and time again between 2-6, it was effective aggression. Which is what I do like to see in a fight and having the last say in exchanges - hense why I probably score Calzaghe vs Hopkins to BHOP.

Just thought Bradley was in control.... he controled 7,8,9 also - but didn't work hard enough for me.
