Saturday, May 10 -- ShoBox: The New Generation Special Edition 10:45 p.m. ET/PT WBC Super Lightweight Championship: Junior Witter vs. Timothy Bradley WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator: Carl Froch vs. Dennis Inkin Witter will attempt to make it three consecutive successful defenses when he takes on the undefeated and championship-ready Timothy Bradley from Nottingham Arena in Nottingham, England. In his last outing, Witter (36-1-2, 21 KOs), of Bradford, England, finished off Vivian Harris with a stunning, seventh-round knockout. In his outing before that, Witter again looked every bit the world champion that he is by out-boxing Arturo Morua en route to a ninth- round TKO for his first successful title defense. Bradley (21-0, 11 KOs), of Palm Springs, Calif., will make his fourth ShoBox appearance. If victorious against Witter, the promising unbeaten will become the 25th ShoBox fighter to win a world title. Bradley, long considered one of the super lightweight division’s top prospects, has won his last two fights by lopsided unanimous decisions. The 12-round championship fight is promoted by Hennessy Sports. In the co-feature, the undefeated Froch, the WBC No. 1 super middleweight contender, will battle Inkin, the No. 2 contender in a much-hyped, WBC 168-pound title eliminator. The winner potentially will secure a world title fight against reigning WBC 168-pound champion and future Hall of Famer Joe Calzaghe. Froch (22-0, 18 KOs), of Nottingham, England, is a big-time boxer with tremendous punching ability. Five of his last six fights have ended via knockout. Inkin (32-0, 24 KOs), of Hamburg, Germany, has won three out of his last four outings by knockout. The combined record of the four boxers is a remarkable 111-1-2 with 74 knockouts.
Sure, it was his 1st or 2nd Fight on ShoBox, but Bradley STRUGGLED w/Jaime Rangel...The SAME Jaime Rangel that Zab Judah ICED N LESS than a Round on the Hopkins-Joppy Undercard... REED Thinks Junior Witter is a Bit Toooooooo Sooooooooon for Bradley...Bradley's AMBITION is Admirable, but he's In OVER his Head... REED
Good :clap: I actually like Witter, he's a cool brit and very talented, I hope he continues to be shown on american TV
This is a good opportunity for Junior to make a statement in US, and erase some of the ill will caused by his non-performance against Zab. The other fight should be good, too. Froch is a pretty decent prospect and will have to work hard to get by Inkin. Both have decent power and like to come forward. Could go wither way, that one, though the idea that Calzaghe will be fighting the winner seems a little far fetched. According to the BBC, Calzaghe and Woods are close to agreeing terms on fighting each other if they win their respective fights next week... MTF

Nobody handed Witter the silver spoons treatment. He has done everything asked of him THE HARD WAY. AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. AND WILL BE CALLING HATTON A COWARD AFTER HE WINS THIS FIGHT. THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN FOR HATTON ANYMORE. WATCH THIS SCINTILLATING PERFORMANCE BY THE BEST 140 POUNDER ON MAY 10. IM PUMPED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No - I'm not having a dig at Witter - what I mean is (Nottingham aside), Witter really cannot draw flies to shit. :dunno:
stating the obvious. In fairness, Froch is from nottingham and has his fan base there and has had a few fights at that place so it makes sense that he's top of the bill.
