    Still great scraps every so often, don't get me wrong. I'm more worried about Bradley, a fighter I thought was a solid all-rounder, and his sloppy technique.

    Remember how Tommy Hearns seemed genuinely miffed at Timmy one or two punches into their pad session?

    Many of the 'elite' fighters today are more concerned with cutting weight than honing technique.

    Yes, he certainly never gets much attention.

    Yeah Timmy would know a bit about that, ahem

    I saw this fight agian not too long ago, it's definitely an underrated fight. I think I had the first round a draw, with Watson winning rounds 4 and 10. Mccallum won rounds 2,3,6-9 and obviously got the stoppage in the 11th. Really gruelling fight for both guys, but McCallum was a class above and it showed, Watson took a lot of punishment to the head and body before he pretty much collapsed through exhaustion at the end.

    Homes-Norton, pretty well known I guess, but man oh man, one of the best in the history of heavyweights.
