socks 32,253 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Heard on the news yesterday that he was dragged from his car in an attempted car jack ... if he hadn't been injured in the ring can you imagine the shock those maggots would have had .......

neil cooney 10,416 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Cowards. Who was the heavyweight champ years ago who shot a car thief and the judge said if had hit him he'd be going to jail ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan85 722 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) The wankers probably didn't have a clue who he was either, not that that would have stopped them anyway. I've seen Michael Watson when I was working in London, likely the best boxer out of the trio with himself, Eubank and Benn.

It's a few years ago now but if I remember correctly Benn beat Watson fair and square and was robbed against Eubanks. Benn V McClelland put IMO Benn up there with the greats. JMHO. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think you mean Watson beat Benn fair and square and was robbed against Eubank........which i wouldnt disagree with....the second fight he was way out in front and only needed to hear the final bell to win. Shocking to hear this car jacking stuff stone me Chingford is hardly the Bronx its been his home for the last 25 years as well its not like nobody knows him there......so wouldnt surprise me if they targeted him....c**ts ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 3,996 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 He seemed a decent down to earth bloke before his accident , he was a cabbie at the time (maybe part-time with a his training) I've only ever been to 1 boxing match and that was it at White hart lane , I'd watched Arsenal at Highbury in the afternoon & went there that night , he loves Arsenal , terrible ending , those who done this to him couldn't lace his boots as a Man .

DogMan85 722 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) I can recall Eubank claiming he must have been on PED's in their rematch stating he was too strong to be natural. Watson had the victory sewn up until the 11th round. I know it's generally considered that it was that monster uppercut that caused the damage in that round but he was shaken up and took some big shots at the beginning of the 11th. The outcome of that fight was tragic for both warriors. Edited February 20, 2017 by DogMan85 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
