Watson looks like he has shit his pants.

Watson looks like he has shit his pants.

The fans are chanting 'easy', and so far it has been. Even the overhand right from about a yard behind Rees' shoulder landed big. Rees is landing good shots, beating Watson to the jab, and the body shots are hurting. Watson showing a little more in the fourth, but Rees is still landing much more.

First round of the fight to Watson, and he needs the next five to tie on my card. That nose looks a bit of a mess for Rees too. Hope he's got and experienced guy in that corner. Still think Rees has got it, just needs to go back to the good work of earlier.

Rees is completely f***ed, but that was a beautiful right hand that's probably put him in the ascendancy. Now Watson's hanging on. Gwan Gav.

I don't think that Watson ever recovered from that short counter right, even after a minute in the corner. Good stoppage I thought, as Watson wasn't really able to keep Rees off. If Watson hadn't have frozen early doors it might have been different, but Gavin had the big lead already stowed away, but Watson was coming back. Would be interesting to see what the judges had for that fight going into the tenth before Gav nailed the knockdown.

I was ringside at the fight and was taken pictures of the fighter as they got ready in the changing rooms.


Great night.
