Does anyone has seen this fight??? I watched Jim Watt record recently and I did not see the name of Frankie Baltazar on his ledger. I think Watt won by TKO. The fight was in England. I am saying this because I remember the fight and I saw it when I was around 10 or 11 years old.

Maybe is an hallucination or this fight really happened???

No

Jim did not fight Baltazar.

In April 1979 Jim fought Alfred Pitalua for the Lightweight crown.

The only other fight he had that year was a defence against Robert Vasquez.

Both were in Glasgow.

He then fought Davis & O'Grady in Glasgow before losing his title in London to Alexis Arguello.

Jim then retired.

Sorry Gordon, but I remember Watt-Frankie Baltazar fight. Maybe the fight was in 1978 then. I think I got great memory. Someone probably got this fight on video.

Maybe is a hallucination.
