Does anyone have any information on the amateur career of former WBC Lightweight Champion Jim Watt?

Jim Watt.
Came upon your post while doing a search on another topic that included the word "Jim"....
You may well have all the data by now, and I don't have Watt's amateur record but he won the ABA Title in 1968 and then turned pro.
He KO'd future pro champion John Stracey (I think it was in Rnd 1) en route to the title. From memory I think that was in the semi-final.
Apologies if you knew all this already and were after something more detailed!
