Bout Summary

Witter controlled the early goings of the fight, but Harris controlled the action in the third, a round where Witter wasted too much time switching back and forth between orthodox and southpaw. It seemed to be more of the same in the fourth round, until Witter connected on a good right hand. Witter attempted to follow up, but was in too close, causing an anticipated knockdown to be ruled a slip as Witter pushed with the right. Harris got up, but Witter knocked him down with a good left hook. In round seven a left hand from Harris sent Witter into the corner. Harris tried to finish him off, but was unable to launch his right hand, as he got nailed with a perfect counter left hook. Harris crumbled to the canvas, and was peeking out through the bottom ropes as the referee reached the count of ten.
