Hatton salutes Watson's display
4/ 6/2008
MATTHEW Hatton levelled praise on Craig Watson following his unsuccessful challenge for the Commonwealth welterweight title.
Watson earned a unanimous points decision at the City of Manchester Stadium a fortnight ago on the undercard of the Ricky Hatton-Juan Lazcano fight.
Now, having watched a replay of the fight, the younger Hatton congratulated Watson on his performance.
He said: "Fair play to Craig because he boxed a good fight while I just couldn’t seem to get going in there.
"What made me really disappointed was that although I’ve had defeats before, it was the first time I left the ring believing I’d been legitimately beaten.
"I’ve got no complaints about the scorecards either, they were accurate and fair. Even though it was a well contested fight, I think Craig was doing more in the rounds to win.
"I’m a sore loser. Any sportsman who isn’t is in the wrong profession."
