First things first, i havent seen the fight and going by what some of you say, jim watt called it wrong. But i will say that out of the lot of those guys on sky, piper,nelson, mcCrory, mcGuigan and whoever else, Watt is by far the most knowledgable over the years. Them other guys,although champions at some stage, seem to me to know as much about calling a fight as you or i. I wouldnt listen to half of what they say as being a decent boxer in your day doesnt necessarily make you a great judge. I've no great love for Watt as i still remember, as a kid, his blatant headbutt against Sean o Grady in his world title defence. About 12years back, i bumped into Watt and Reg Gutteridge going to the Ulster hall for a fight and had a good yarn with Gutteridge on the walk round to the Hall. Before i left them i asked Watt if his headbutt was intentional and his exact reply was; "Well what the f**k would you do in my position?". Ha! At least he was honest.
