John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
Could this ever happen?
Is there a reason why O'Donnell hasn't been out since the Glover fight?

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
I think O'Donnell has been stripped of his Commonwealth title. So, I think it is unlikely that they will fight in a non-title fight.b0ndl1ne wrote:Could this ever happen?

I would like to see this as well, I think O'Donnell will stop him this time, but I don't think this fight will happen, shame.

i wonder if JOD would do better in a rematch, get his tactics better and maybe use his reach a bit more.

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
Not much point in it happening now O'Donnell has been stripped. Watson should look at getting himself mandatory for the British light-welterweight title. You could argue he deserves to be made mandatory right now, after his stoppage of former champion Barrie Jones. Very good win that - completely flew under my radar.

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
me too. assuming he makes the weight ok- i would imagine Watson is very very strong at 140- I could see him really making some waves at 140.black panther wrote:You could argue he deserves to be made mandatory right now, after his stoppage of former champion Barrie Jones.

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
Barrie Jones is not a former champion. It is a good win but I don't really think a win over Jones should make someone the mandatory challenger.black panther wrote:You could argue he deserves to be made mandatory right now, after his stoppage of former champion Barrie Jones.

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
It wont happen. Not becasue O'Donell is scared, but he is moving on now to better things. The winner goes to better things and the loser, Watson has nowhere to go.
Maybe Watson could see if he can get a shot at the cental area title, thats his league and he could do it, good luck to the lad.

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
Watson is a former Commonwealth champion, which he only lost on a split decision, and he holds a win over the reigning European champion. Now you think he is at Area title level?Jab and Move wrote:It wont happen. Not becasue O'Donell is scared, but he is moving on now to better things.

Also, O'Donnell doesn't seem to be moving on to anthing at the moment.

If o donnell is moving on then why hasn't he yet. In my opition craig has boxed in much better class than john. craig has boxed hatton, numbmbe,lomax, jones,menasria who has john boxed ?? That's it nobodys
An don't forget the fight they had was a split decision so that must mean that o donnell is only area title level if he can't be up someone like Watson !!
Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
am a big fan of both, i try to go to all watsons fights but i thought o'donnel won but it was bery close jod fought watsons fight, think hed win more comfortably next time if he uses his jab

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
Hopefully O'Donnell will fight Watson again. I'd like to see Hatton fight Watson again. He keeps fighting for all these titles against 40 year old men. Why not take on Watson again?
Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
Agreed, Watson had it by at least 2. Maybe Hatton will make a voluntary of the European, but I doubt it.xXHAMMERXx wrote:O donnell won't fight him again cos he is scared of getting beat he lost the first fight an everybody knows it

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
Hatton won't fight Watson. If you look at 'Magic Hatton's' record there is a trend. His last fights are : Ben Tackie (mid forties), N'Dou I(forty), Branco (40). Watson is far too young! 8)KO 2 wrote:Agreed, Watson had it by at least 2.

Add to that the fact Watson beat him easily before - will not happen.
Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
hatton was desperate for a rematch with watson after there fight, marfew came up with loads of excuses, lets see if he wants to fight watson now i doubt it he wont go anywhere near him, theres goner be a big queue of domestic fighters wanted to fight him

Re: John O'Donnell / Craig Watson Rematch
What the hell has happened to O'Donnell anyway? He should be on the Froch undercard, but he isn't, is he injured?
