Craig Watson fighting for title on Friday night

[Chris W 1982]

[Chris W 1982]

Shame about the last minute pullout.

Not the best show on paper is it?

[15829]

i really wasnt looking forward to mcdonagh v woolcombe am a fan of watson so its a improvement for me

[xXHAMMERXx]

He is my brother an has told me he is gonna fight this win it an drop down it's just a one off I no he is super fit an sparred 12 round last week so fingers crossed for him !!

[stujones]

Weights in his shoes then?

[Brit Ryan]

I thought the problem was with the commonwealth welterweight fight, I didn't think the Woolcombe/McDonagh fight was off as well. What's the evidence/source for that?

In any event hopefully Cello Renda is still on the bill. Could watch him all day long

Apparently not!
Jez Wilson is fighting Farai Musiwya

[Brit Ryan]

From that, can I assume that Cello is no longer fighting?
Is it right that the McDonagh/Woolcombe fight has fallen through?

Ta m8
Any insight into the problems that developed with the previous bill?

[Chris W 1982]

Renda is defo out.

apparantly Woolcombe is the one who pulled out. Injury I believe

[Brit Ryan]

Shame for him. Saw him at the Webb fight and he seemed really up for it (didn't even talk about fishing - just boxing - most unlike him)

So why isn't McDonagh fighting this South African?

Its rediculous that a guy supposedly moving down to Light Welter is going to fighting for a title at 11 stone.

McDonagh was hardly worthy, but every bit as worthy as Watson....


Not Watson's fault, but its a bad move by team Hatton. Watson will be getting worthy title fights soon enough at Welter / Light Welter - this has ruined a big (final) chance for McDonagh.

matty askin fighting mathew ellis, hope eliis comes to fight and not fall after the 1st punch

[Andy]

Battle of Blackpool.

What is the point of him fighting for this title if he plans to move down to Light Welterweight?

[15829]

extray money and exposure

[alexpaterson]

Im glad Purdy vs Vassell is still on. Good chance for Watson good luck to him

[Horse]

If Watson doesn't plan on defending the Commonwealth title if he wins it, then I hope he loses.
