Craig Docherty (born 27 September 1979 in Govan, Glasgow) is a former Scottish professional boxer, best known for having held the Commonwealth (British Empire) Super-Featherweight championship and being one-half of the biggest Scottish fight since Jim Watt-Ken Buchanan.Docherty became a professional boxer in 1998 after representing Scotland in the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, under the promotional banner of Tommy Gilmour and began to notch up victories.Docherty is known primarily as a body-puncher; his tactics typically centre on his methodical attacks, hurting opponents particularly with his left hook to the liver. His defense is assisted by excellent head movement and a solid chin.After winning 12 fights, with 1 draw, and no losses, Docherty was rewarded for his progress by being granted a shot at the current British champion - Mancunian Michael Gomez, a rough-and-tumble, aggressive fighter who had over double the number of fights that Craig had. The contest was pulsating while it lasted. Docherty attempted to go toe-to-toe with Gomez, something of a foolhardy decision, as Gomez was well known for his relentlessness and heavy hands.
