Junior Witter v Demarcus Corley

[Howard_lfc]

I like Junior Witter. I'd like to see him become a World Champ.

This friday's fight against Corley is gonna be hard - but if Witter catches anybody on the chin - they're gonna be hitting the canvas.

Witter hasn't had the headlines and publicity he feels he deserves and Friday's his chance to hit the big time. I hope he and Brendan Ingle manage to pull it off.

[kurtangle01]

HAHAHA I was just about to start this thread after the contender but it seems that you beat me to it mate.

I want Chop Chop to win, I know that's perhaps a bad thing with Witter being English but to be honest I just can't stand the guy. His constant jibes at Hatton just show what a bitter and cheap little man he is. If he was as talented as Ricky then he would have been a world champion a long time ago and not constantly calling Hatton names to try and make himself feel better and sound harder.

My prediction...Corley to win by K.O. in the middle rounds because witter just simply isn't good enough.

[kurtangle01]

P.S.

Witter said that he will knock Corley out because he is a far faster and heavier hitter than Floyd Mayweather....Yeah that's bollocks as you and the whole world knows.

[bazza76]

lol dint see this thread, just mentioned it on Scotts thread about Barrera.

Maybe Witter should have watched this fight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8R5uWDm65Q and to be honest, that clip doesnt do any justice to Mayweathers power and dominance in that fight.

[Hollowman]

I think Witter will make clowns of a few people.

I'm inclined to agree with you.:handshake:

Dont think he is anywhere near top of the food chain though. But he has to be a decent boxer to be where he is granted.

[kurtangle01]

I think Witter will make clowns of a few people.

He's been really poor in has last 2-3 fights so he'll have to pull a rabbit out of the hat on Friday. Apparently Floyd Mayweather will be working Corleys corner on Friday as well.

I wonder if Hatton will be there to meet Mayweather?

[Hollowman]

Didn't think he was really poor. If you're really poor you're not getting past N'Dou or Kotelnik, neither of whom are complete jokers. I was hapy to see him run the distance a couple of times after years of two and three round blow outs against, frankly, sub par opposition. N'Dou took Cotto and Mitchell the twelve too remember. I think Witter struggled in the middle of the fight quite badly, but he almost took him out late on too. Decent experience for Witter. Gave him a scrap against someone who has operated at the top level, and he couldn't blow him away. He should have a plan for that now. If he doesn't, and he didn't learn from it, then he's a bellwhiff.

[Howard_lfc]

The fight is tonight.

C'mon Witter son !!

[Shaggy]

What time's the fight due to start?

[kurtangle01]

I'm really looking forward to this fight. I've been well excited all day!

[paulcooper4]

If they both keep their word that they're going for the knockout then it should be explosive from the first bell. My fear is that Witter or Corley try to box on the back foot from round 4 onwards trying to steal the decision and stink the place out.

I suspect this might happen too:handshake: although that is when I expect corley to relieve witter of his senses:rock:

corley to win by knockout
I can admit i havent seen enough of Corley to suggest a winner. But looks like this fight has the making of a good scrap. Much like the fight tomorow night.

[kurtangle01]

I think Corley is what you might call "an experienced fighter" who has been in with the best. He's fought Mayweather, Cotto and Judah. He lost on each occasion but rocked all of them at some point in the fight. I can't see witter winning this fight because he's only been in a big fight once before, against Zab Judah, and he stunk the place out for 12 long and boring rounds.

As for the fight tomorrow, I can't wait because the first fight was superb and the second could be even better if they come at each other like they did in the first fight.

[kurtangle01]

I suspect this might happen too:handshake: although that is when I expect corley to relieve witter of his senses:rock:

If they both come out for the K.O. then this fight will be won by the fighter who has the best chin and will probably last about 6 rounds. I think it might be a more cagey fight though because lets face it they won't get many more chances to win the WBC title again.

Hopefully it turns out to be a great fight because I've been looking forward to it all week.

I hope they're both true to their word and come out firing fists from all angles but if they don't then hopefully it's still a good fight because as I said "I've been looking forward to it all week!":rock:

[joyno]

usually guarantees a dogs arse of a fight:olets hope witter comes out the dogs bollocks,watching it now its a bit messy witters the more offensive corley seems a bit cagey looks like he is going the distance, hope witter doesn't punch himself out.

[Shaggy]

What a boring fight so far.

[joyno]

What a boring fight so far. chess match mate there both trying to psyche each other out (well thats my story its the only way i can convince the wife its worth watching):sigh:

[joyno]

witter should have it.but cant see arum or de la hoya banging at his door,shame really junior could be so much better.

I think its a fair summary. That fight was shit. :handshake: :D

[kurtangle01]

What a disgrace both fighters were. They were a disgrace to the fans and to the belt they were fighting for. Witter is a joke and it's no wonder that none of the T.V. companies want to show his fights. He's terrible and not worthy of being a world champion. I feel sorry for the fans who paid some of their hard earned cash to watch that fight.

Absolute disgrace and I can't wait to see him knocked out when he comes up against a proper world class fighter.

[joyno]

that fuckin stand off they had in one of the middle rounds was cringingly embarrasing:o

[kurtangle01]

They're saying that Witter could fight Hatton in the Bradford City ground. What a shit idea!! At least put the fight on in a decent part of the country instead of that shitehole.

The problem with that twat Witter is that he thinks he clever and slick and he's not! Did you hear his trainer say it was a great performance? WHAT FIGHT DID HE JUST WATCH?!!

I thought I might be happy for Witter if he won despite not liking him but I'm not. I can't stand him or the way he fights and I can't wait to see him get his arse handed to him from a real world class fighter.

pretty much agree with all of that:handshake:
I am so looking forward to the absolute pummeling the hitman gives him:rock:

[kurtangle01]

All Witter does is paw out with the jab and pose with silly stances trying to look good. Terrible, truely terrible.

Well Hatton should beat Urango so a fight could easily be set up for the IBF, WBC titles which would be nice. Hatton would tear him a new arshole but could you honestly see HBO sanctioning a Hatton V's Witter fight after that performance tonight? HBO will put Hatton in with Castillo because they want a return for their investment and a fight with Witter would be a real flop across the pond.

[joyno]

not a problem mate,im standing on the scales as i speak in lycra shorts she wants me to wear the mike tyson signed shorts i bought a few years a go,now that is a worry.:eyebrow:

[kurtangle01]

I can't believe that Johnny Nelson just said Hatton V's Witter would be an all action fight. Witter would run for 12 rounds trying to catch a lucky punch or steal the decisiosn like he did tonight. It would be a good fight for domestic boxing but not really a great fight because if Witter came to fight Hatton would probably knock him out in about 6 rounds.

Corley said it all when he said that Witter should stay in the U.K. if he wants to continue getting decisions!

[Hollowman]

Corley landed 57 punches. His mother couldn't have given him the fight if she judged it over the wireless. Witter was Witter. It's what he does. It's easy to see why Hatton hasn't fought him. He's odd, doesn't allow for a decent tear up, and has two heavy hands when he wants to swing. He's what you'd call a short odds fighter. But like I said, he'll make clowns of some people.

and like I said, he did, of himself. the fella is a joke. what was all that standing like statues shit about?

[kurtangle01]

and like I said, he did, of himself. the fella is a joke. what was all that standing like statues shit about?I'd go with that paul, All that posing as if he was in a fencing match really was cringeworthy. Junior Witter is one of those guys that thinks he's the best but he's not. I suppose when he has his cornerman telling him what a great fight it was last night then his perception of reality is clouded somewhat.

He did makes fools out of more people than himself and Corley last night though, he made fools out of the fans that paid hard earned cash to go and watch what they thought would be two fighter laying it all on the line in the biggest match of their careers. Instead they got nothing more than 2 over rated fighters terrified to fight.

As I said last night it was a terrible, terrible, fight and was honestly not much better than Danny Williams V's Audley Harrison.

Witter should retire now because as world Champion he has a target on his back and much better fighters than Corley will be after him. Imagine a unification fight between Witter and Cotto? It would be over in 3 or 4 rounds.

[Hollowman]

Witter's style can ruin other fighters, as it did last night. You might hate it, and most people do, but it's working for him. And he has a heavy counter punch. He'll trouble better fighters than Corley.

[Howard_lfc]

I can't wait to see him get his arse handed to him from a real world class fighter.

harsh mate. I thought Corely was a world class fighter before the fight no?

The thing with Witter is that he makes you miss - and can then hurt you with HIS power. Corely was too scared to take a shot - in order to land his own and that played right into Witter's hands.
He mighn't have looked that good last night but he will look better against 'come forward' fighters such as Hatton. If Hatton takes him on then he'd better improve his defence (as he's easy to hit) and he'd better be able to take Witter's power. And you know what - I'm not sure he could.
As for Witter's part - he'd better be prepared to battle for 12 rounds - and I'm not sure he can do that either !

Let's get it on.:handshake:

All decent points there Les. Yes Witter has power but he doesn't use in the correct way IMHO. There was a point in the fight last night when he rocked Corley but just didn't have the know how to put him away. As for him looking better against come forawrd fighters? Against poorer opponents then yes he would look better but against guys like Hatton there's no way he would look anything like good. You saw it last night when Corley tried to get on the inside and fight. Witter never had a clue how to deal with it and ended up holding his opponent and on one embarasing occasion wrestled Corley to the floor. If and it's a BIG IF Hatton and Witter ever fight it'll be over in 6-7 rounds. Did you see Witter huffing and puffing in the corner last night? And that was against a guy who put no pressure on him! My opinion is that Witter will loose his title after no more than 2 defences and won't even get to fight Hatton.

Witter is a clown whether that's harsh or not I don't care. I feel truely embarassed for him that he thinks fights like that last night are acceptable to serve up to the boxing fans.

I can honestly say that unless he lands a fight with someone worth watching like Castillo, Cotto, Corrales, Hatton etc... then I will never make the mistake of watching him box ever again.

'Kinhell take a chill pill Kurt !:D
You'd think Witter had just shagged yer bird the way you're carrying on !:D

Listen - styles make fights. And Witter's style - doesn't look good on the eye - I grant you that. But he did a total job on DeM C last night, he bemused the hell outta him. The art of boxing is to fight and not get hit - which is exactly what Ingle teaches his lads (Bomber Graham, Nelson and now Witter) and it's highly effective. Witter does have his faults - again I grant you that - but are his faults as glaring as Hatton leading with his face as he does?
IMO Witter could go on from here and improve further. The extra confidence of being WBC champ may do for him what being champion has done for Clinton Woods.

As for his fight with Hatton: I didn't say he'd beat him (Paulcooper), I said I'm not sure Hatton could take his power; and I stand by that. Hatton gets hit too easily for my liking but so far he's been bashed up but stayed on his feet. But I also made the point that Witter was puffing for tugs and I'm not sure he could box at Hatton's pace for 12 rounds.

Suppose I'm a bit more forgiving than you Kurt that's all. Let's see if Witter can now move up a level as I've just mentioned.:handshake:

I see some big faults with Hatton style in recent fights as well to be honest. Since the Tszyu fight he's not boxed as well as he can. I remember the Michael Stewart and Ray Oliveria fights in 2004. Hatton boxed their heads off and looked in superb condition and if I'm going to be brutally honest I think Hatton walks about far to heavy and one day he'll struggle to loose the 28LBS that it takes him to get down to 140LBS. His last fight with Collazo was a real eye opener to him I think and he'll probably be a lot more cautios in future fights.

The fact is though Ricky Hatton is nearly always involved in exciting fights and realises that what he does is not only for himself but also for his fans who value boxing as entertainment. What sort of entertainment does Junior Witter provide? Yet the guy thinks he's one of the hardest hitting, slickest and entertainig fighters in the world and clearly he's not!
