    This fight was a classic! only seen Watson on the sky sports documentary real shame what happend. So this is the first fight of his i have watched.

    Watson looks world class here great defence and the rope a dope he was doing was good too.

    I plan on watching the second fight against Eubank as well.

    Also an intresting fact this was for the commonwealth belt and Benn got paid 230,000 while Watson was paid 155,000

    It was a stunning performance, definition of a world-class showing from Watson and showed just what he was capable of. :thumbsup

    This is another super performance from Watson against the very dangerous Don Lee who beat Tony Sibson in an absolute classic war over in the US a few years earlier. A real must see fight if you want to see Watson at his best.

    Great match ups, but they weren't exactly great boxers.

    Depends how you define it, normally it'd be defined as elite level fighters, and they were never really elite level fighters especially Watson.

    What kind of garbage is this? They were most certainly elite level fighters in their era.
