    Good performance from Amir, much improved, not as improved as Jim Watt would have us believe but improved nonetheless

    Now if he could just stop trying to lead with a right uppercut from 8 feet away and sticking his hands in the air every time he successfully negotiates a clip on the chin I'll be happy.
    Watt does get carried away at times.

    I couldn't believe it in the 4th round (i tink) Watt said something like - "Khans chin problem has been solved, he doesn't get hit on it anymore" .. i'm sure I heard Ian Darke gulp.

    Lucky Jim swerved the commentators curse this time.
    Jim Watt has to be one of the worst commentators of all time. I never get why they don't give it to Johnny Nelson, as he seems the only one of Sky who can offer insight without sounding like a biased pompous buffoon, and he's generally the one to call fights right.

    I still remember Watt in the Mayweather fight, suggesting that the judges might have Hatton ahead at the time of the stoppage. Comedy gold in a fight that at best Hatton was winning 3 rounds of

    I don't think Watt is so bad. He does have some very bad days though.

    Johnny's a good talker but i get the impression he doesn't watch much boxing away from his job. I'm sure he did a Casamayor fight recently and commented it was the first time he'd seen him
