Watson and sons.


Like father like son like son. 
REPORTING FROM THE LA PRESSER OF MAYWEATHER VS CANELO

Sam Watson (center) and his two sons, Brandon (right) and Marcus (left, I think) are ubiquitous in boxing these days. They are at every fight that includes an Al Haymon fighter; ipso facto they are at every televised fight in America. I’ll let this snippet of an interview speak for itself but I really enjoyed talking to him. Sam is as media friendly as Al Haymon is media-shy.  If ever there was a man delighted with his lot in life, it’s Watson and when you speak to him you just want to clap him on the back and say: “well done for figuring out life and making it work for you.”

His comments may range from insightful insider knowledge to the impossible ramblings of an idealist but one thing is certain, Al Haymon picks his fighters as judiciously as his staff and I look forward to seeing Sam again.
