Most pointless fight ever?

I was looking through the schedule for fights on boxrec and came across possibly the most pointless fight ever.

Junior Witter v Max Maxwell 16-40.

Surely journeymen are there to give tough rounds to up and coming fighters. To not upset their record but to give them a difficult night. This fight I'm not really sure what it does. Any thoughts?

Bruno v Chuck Gardner

Don't really know if this fight is pointless, because if Witter insists on fighting on (and I'm not sure why he does) then to be honest, that's the level he's at now. All he can do at the moment is try to rack up a few wins against journeymen and hope that one of the British / Commonwealth champions throws him a crumb.

He was absolutely awful in Prizefighter three years ago, and being reduced to that really should have been enough to convince him that it was time to call it a day. Commendable that he's trying to give his career the kiss of life at the age of forty, but I don't think it'll get much better than these kind of match ups for him now.

Since the Police and Bradford City Council made a concerted effort to move the alcoholics and drug addicts from the bottom of Ivegate, Witter has struggled to find worthwhile opposition

You've got a lot of class..

I know, but what has that got to do with the topic at hand

Haye v Harrison has got to be up there!

Welcome aboard, Tarriq.

I'll never forget some of the stuff I read on the old BBC board before that fight. It was ridiculous. If ever there was a build up to a fight which demonstrated what an incredible salesman and talker Audley is, it was that one. As the fight got nearer there was a decent handful of people saying stuff like, "If Audley lands that big left it's all over, and I think he will", or "Audley's size and strength is just too much for Haye, we've not seen the best of Harrison yet but I believe it's his time to shine now", and so on.

"I know what the outcome will be if I fight David Haye, and in David Haye's heart, he knows the outcome as well." Indeed he did, Audley - which is why he told his family exactly what round he was going to get you out of there so they could place some tidy amounts on it at the bookies!

Easy in hindsight Chris. But haye was just dancing to Audrey's tune when the lucky punch landed.

Watch it in 20 years time and you'll spot the quiet beating a-farce was dishing out

Audley is currently discussing making a comeback. Funny thing is the guy who previewed it on Boxing News' website (believe it was Matt Christie) said exactly that Chris. He knows damned well it is not going to happen for Audley, but after listening to him for 20 minutes or so his resolution was wavering, such was Audley's ability to sell himself. If he could fight as well as he could talk Canastota would be constructing a new wing just for him as we speak.

Never mind a new wing, Rowley. The Hall would be renamed in his honour.

Truth be told, I've always found something about Audley quite endearing and likeable and if I was granted a few boxing wishes then I'd be tempted to include him somehow getting another world title shot, being outboxed for eleven and three quarter rounds before landing that often talked about, seldom seen left hand bomb to snatch victory and a title from the jaws of defeat - purely for Audley's victory speech in the interview after!

Thanks Chris, that fight angered me enough at the time so it seemed like the perfect subject to issue my first post. All true Boxing fans knew Audley would get battered, as crude, horrible and naive as his comment was, as Haye said it was always going to be as one-sided as a g**g r**e. Absolute joke of a fight.

I don't mind Audley freezing and ripping us off against Haye..

Don't mind him looking pathetic against Price and others..

What I do mind is this knob thinking we are so stupid we don't remember..

Get lost Audley and get a job..

Speaking of fighters talking a good one beforehand but then freezing on the night and spectacularly failing to deliver on promises - anyone else here remember / ever seen the Terry Norris vs Paul Vaden fight?

Vaden reeled off some insane amateur statistics (not quite Lomachenko-esque, but not far off!) and had managed to go unbeaten in the pro ranks, winning the IBF Light-Middleweight title. Norris was the WBC champion and their fight was being billed as the biggest grudge match in boxing, as Vaden had reportedly been having it off with Norris' wife (they'd been a couple before Norris had met her, and when Norris divorced her she apparently ran right back to Vaden) and had been taunting Norris about it.

Norris got himself in hot water beforehand when he said that he'd be "trying to kill" Vaden in the ring, and Vaden responded by saying he was going to shatter Norris' glass jaw and make him pay for his ignorance.

But on fight night, Vaden hardly threw a punch in anger and handed his belt to Norris almost apologetically! I believe he was even in danger of having his purse withheld, too, so awful was his lack of effort. If you've seen it then you'll know what I mean....If you haven't, then just take my word for it and save yourself the agony.

Lewis- Akinwande looked a decent matchup

Well he's fighting because he's still trying to make a living. Who do we expect to see Junior Witter in with? He's over two hills and this is the level he's at.

Wlad vs Alex Leapai???
