To the members of the Nevada State Athletic Commission:

As an individual who follows the sport of boxing and is concerned with the health and safety of boxers who participate in the State of Nevada, I would like to request that the Nevada State Athletic Commission investigate Dr. David Watson’s performance as a ringside physician.

On Saturday, July 21, 2007, Dr. Watson was the ringside physician for a lightweight bout between Michael Katsidis and Czar Amonsot. During the course of action, Mr. Katsidis suffered four cuts (three in the area of the right eye and one under the left eye) and was allowed to continue by Dr. Watson.

It would seem to me, a follower of boxing, that Katsidis’ cuts would have affected his ability to defend himself and put him in physical danger above and beyond the norm.

I would like for the Nevada State Athletic Commission to investigate Dr. Watson’s decision in the Katsidis vs. Amonsot bout.
