Wait And See On Hamed Wanne Be
"I reckon there'll be quite a few Brits in the crowd routing for Bradley to beat this Hamed wanna be. The British public may have adored Hamed's theatrics, but most of the British boxing fans just found it embarassing. If Witter was a little less mouthy, and could keep up the aggressiveness he shows on occasion (he can whack), he'd win over a lot more boxing fans, and make a fight with Hatton a more attractive prospect. As Ricky says, he can't be the only one bringing something to the table. Do another Vivian Harris and we'll see." ---TSS reader Newscastle Andy is waiting to make a verdict
