A decent tear up but not quite fight of the year material (compare it to Burns-Martinez). Rees is very good and despite the commentary, Watson got at best a share of the 6th and 8th and won the 7th and 9th. He was along way behind even at the point of the knockdown. Watson has some decent skills though and might be competitive at English title level. This division is packed with talent and a big lad like Watson might fare better at Light Welter. If rubbish like Amir Khan can win a world title at that weight you'd have to imagine that anything is possible.
