He still deserves a rematch with O'Donnell.

If he can do 10st ok it's a good idea to keep his options open.
As he doesn't have a promotional contract with the big boys he is not in a position to pick and choose

I never realised he had signed for them, he has been brought in as the opponent for his last four fights

Definetly deserves a rematch with O'Donnell i thought he won by 2 rounds last time but think O'Donnell will box him this time and win a wide UD decision but decent LWW out there could have a lots of exciting match up out there for him

they talked to Kevin Mcintyre about fighting at 10st 3 in July show

Kev would have been up for the fight at welter but hed be too drained at that weight

i though Watson won his last fight just by being busier ,hes a tough boxer
thought he would have went for a rematch if possible

Possibly would have beaten O'Donnell if he hadn't been so inactive in the previous 11 months, his timing was off that night.

Thought a draw would of been the right result against O'Donnell.

I remember seeing it on TV, and to be honest I dont remember it being a jaw droppingly long time he was down. Is it on youtube?

once amirs head cleared he won it easyily but from when his arse hit the canvas to when the ref let him box on it was well over ten seconds, the ref was that asain bloke yak if i can remember rightly he took him to his corner and started fannying about with his gloves. this took more time then amir just pissed it then would of got stopped if it was the other way round. :box:

It often is well over ten seconds form arse on canvas to box on though, more often than not this is the case. Mind, Ive only ever seen it once so memory of it isnt that great. Funnily I do remember the ref checking the gloves.

Where's errm... Someone Grant was it?? That wanted to fight Khan early doors - what happened to him?
