There were just four seconds of that session left when referee Harry Gibbs decided it was pointless to allow the bout to continue. Riley had injuries around the left eye and was well behind, although showing tremendous gameness. Watt has only had 16 bouts, but looks a good champion. Against Riley it was the southpaw right jab of Watt that paved the way for victory, and Riley always seemed to be fighting a losing cause.&quot; -Ring Magazine, September 1972 issue<br /> <br /> *The British lightweight title became vacant when champion Willie Reilly decided the purse he was offered to defend against Tony Riley wasn&#039;t enough. The British Boxing Board of Control then stripped him of the title and he subsequently announced his retirement.</div>
