Jim Watt vs Howard Davis

---

The Associated Press reported: A crowd of 15,000 braved pouring rain to see Watt, always calm and collected, outbox former Olympic champion Davis, who was unbeaten in 13 previous professional contests. . . . Davis, a narrow pre-fight favorite, was slow to settle in front of the shouting Scottish crowd. Southpaw Watt completely dominated the opening half of the bout and although the challenger produced some telling late blows, the result was not in doubt. According to the AP, Watt was paid $1 million and Davis $300,000.
