his 13 fights previously and I’m guessing for the rest of his career,
Frankie Gavin will not come across a more awkward and frustrating
fighter in Junior Witter.
Birmingham’s Gavin ground out a 12 round unanimous decision over the
former WBC light–welterweight champion.
any highlight reel although in Gavin’s case it was more important to
get the win, rather than look good. In fact as John Rawling mentioned on
the Boxnation televised show,” Does anybody look good vs Junior
Witter”?.
little or nothing landing of quality. These rounds could have went
either way although on my card i had Gavin winning 3 of the first 4
rounds due to the right hook landing once in a while. Round 5 started
with a double straight left from southpaw Gavin. Witter responded with
his own straight left. Was it finally heating up? NO it wasn’t as Gavin
began to push the 38 year old Witter back but again nothing of note was
really landing.
pushed Witter back lunging in with crude body shots followed by the odd
right hook. By this time Witter started clowning about probably knowing
the fight wasn’t going the way he wanted. This prompted Referee Marcus
McDonnell to deduct a point in the 10th as Witter stopped the action on
numerous occasions.
switched his feet constantly and basically began messing Gavin about.
For some strange reason it worked as Gavin didn’t land any effective
punches. Witter won the round as he was able to land his jab, something
that he was unable to do for the previous 11 rounds.
was proclaimed the champion by the 3 judges. Gavin will now hope to more
active and at 27 must be hitting the peak years in his career. Witter
must now retire. I cant see many younger guys wanting to fight him due
to his style.
Title along with the British, European and Commonwealth straps at 140.
Add another British title at 147 and you can see that Witter has had a
more than decent career.
