    Watson should have won that, but it was quite close. I had him ahead by 2 rounds

    I wouldn't count it as a knock down fair to say he looked as tho he mite go down at one point but he didn't and
    Quickly recovered very well. Close fight but watson definately won even more so with the fact he was the defending champion

    I had it 115-114 to Watson, but hey it could have been three rounds either way.

    Definately no robbery!

    I had O'Donnell winning it by a round.

    It was that close that which ever way the judges went you couldn't say anyone was robbed.

    It wasn't a robbery but I certainly felt Watson did enough to take a close decision. Great that we're seeing some really good fights for domestic titles on ITV though.

    Watson failed to make sure he won the rounds. Quite a few of the rounds were very close but O'Donnell disapointed once again. No doubt Watson would win the rematch.

    that wasnt a knckdown, he stumbled and o'donnell jumped on him thinking he was hurt. i had watson up by 2 rounds, he was definately robbed. good, close fight tho.

    it was a close fight so its harsh to say he was robbed i was gutted though as i had a ton trble watson points daws points and willams points close but no cigar!
