    This weekend Craig Watson takes on John ODonnell .... whats ur thoughts on this fight ?

    My gut feeling is Watson will be too classy and win a UD against ODonnell ... the form of his good victory against Hatton is standing up well even though it is a concern he hasnt fought for some while now .... but 8/11 Watson looks the bet for me ....

    Odonnell looks like a real prospect, thought this might have come a bit too early. I love Odonnells style and he's got so much variation where as Watson doesn't have that much in his repertoire. I might put a wee punt on for Odonnell to win on points.

    Its a good fight.... Watson has improved soo much ... its crazy really. He was a so-so am and I remember watching him thinking he wasn't going to be particuarly successful. He's done very well. I always seem to picj against him and I will do again here. Form is O'Donnell used to punch **** out of Amir Khan on the England squad and equally Khan punched fook outta Watson in the ams but as I said he's improved a hell of a lot.

    O'Donnel was being billed as the next big thing by Hennesey and Sky until the defeat on the DLH vs Mayweather undercard.

    I fancy O'Donnel by 1 or 2 rounds.

    O'Donnell points.
    Too classy
    Perforated eardrum was a good reason for his one defeat. Will outbox Watson.

    i didn't see the loss in the states, but i'm hoping he just got overwhelmed by the occasion. alongside cox, o'donnell is one of my fave prospects.

    i remember o'donnel very well he was saying hes going to show khan how a real british prospect is supposed to fight only to be nailed in 2 rounds by a mexican road sweeper does any 1 have the video of him getting smashed by that journeyman on the DLH-Mayweather undercard.
    O'donnel doesnt seem to have allot of power
