Remember Tate looking pretty lethargic an ancient looking Tony Sibson, possibly weight weakened. I'd take the Watson of the 2nd Eubank fight to grind out a close ud.
With Watson showing what he was about earlier that week (against the dangerous, Dangerous Don Lee), it could of been argued even in February 1988 Tate/Watson would be better than Tate/Sibson. I think though that as Tate showed against Olijade, in their gold outshines glitter fight; he was very classy then and I think knows too much for 160lbs Watson. Tate WU15 (9-6)..... oh sorry BBB of C! Tate WU12 (7-5)
