    He's got to get past Jeffro first!

    Watson will beat Purdy anyway.

    I can see Purdy winning the rematch. Its not like he cant land on Watson and hurt him.

    I'll keep my bets to the bookies but I'll certainly be putting a few quid on Craig providing the odds aren't too short.

    From what I've seen, Haughian isn't that good. ESB aside, Jeff's got a very good chance here.

    I don't think so pal, he was out of the ring for five years after fighting ***an and he comes back 20lbs heavier and draws with a journeyman on a six fight loosing streak

    I'm not trying to insinuate that Jeffro is a world-beater, but it's very conceiveable that Haughian will be unfocused, which I'm hoping is why he had that draw at the o2. If the same Haughian from that night shows up again, there's plenty of guys that would beat him that he wouldn't otherwise lose to.

    Fair enough I'll give ya that, in my opinion he was beaten that night and was lucky to get a draw (maybe Tiedt was reffin ;)). I'm guessing he lost a bit of focus which is understandable given the level of opposition he was up against, he had a couple of decent wins the year before. Not making excuses but it's possible he came unstuck fighting on a world title undercard against a guy he was supposed to dominate easy, the same thing happened to Anto Fitz and he got stopped.

    He was able to take care of business last time out on the Frampton undercard and I don't think he'll loose focus like that again

    "batty boy"... :rofl

    You've been watching too much Ali G mate.

    He's a fighter I like, it's not like I'm going to make 4 accounts on here and start discussing him with myself though.

    I watched it on Setanta and I thought Ryan gave him a good scrap but he never looked in trouble and I felt he won it quite comfortably
