Jim Watt should be sacked from his post. This bias idiot had Burns up 7 to 5 rounds against Zlaticanin...Just because hes a fellow Scot doesnt justify that farce of a scorecard he made.. As for Burns, his career is pretty much over. He was lucky to win a world championship. Burns lost to a fighter that only had one punch which was the overhand left, and a fighter that didnt know the meaning of a jab..Burns was, and always will be, a domestic-level fighter. And sadly, what i mean with domestic-level is Scottish-level...
He had Macklin-Sturm a draw so he isn't as bad as some Aussie commentators though I haven't seen the fight. I actually like Jim Watt as a commentator.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gY8c_NvQOrA Give the fight a view my friend...Im sure that your perception of Mr. Watt will drastically change. The man's commentss within the fight did not match the disgraceful scorecard he produced...:-(
He is now , I was watching some of my old mans old dvd's and videos a few weeks back and he was really good with reg gutteridge
Agreed. It was a clear win for Zlaticanin, yet the commentator gave all of the late rounds to Burns to make it appear that Burns was actually winning. Also, there were rounds where Burns was hurt significantly, and done nothing other than jabbing the air and trying to hold, but apparently it was enough for the commentator to give him the round. I'm not sure, but I think that this is the same commentator who had Bute winning against Pascal.
You should of seen him in the groves vs froch 2 fight, before froch threw a punch he decided it landed awarded him the round before it was over
Hardly, He gave Camacho some rounds against Simmons which Simmons clearly won, Simmons is a Scot, so that blows your theory out of the water
The prob with senile watts is he just picks a fighter and praises them then later changes his mind with no justification he and halling just babble ego based fiction
