Eubank V Sherry.
1991 - After sensationally beating an in-form Nigel Benn, Eubank's first defence of his world middleweight crown comes against tricky Canadian Dan Sherry.

I remember this fight. Eubanks antics in this fight were copied all over the South Wales Valleys

Eubank headbutted him backwards didn't he ??

Dude kept kissin him on the back of the neck n Eubank reacted, luycky not to be dq'd

I'm sure I read this in Eubanks autobiography - He said that when Sherry went to the canvas play acting that the butt had hurt him more than it had he swallowed a load of his own blood (he was cut earlier quite badly in the mouth). Sherry almost choked and had to be given oxygen.

And yes Eubank should have been dq'd even though Sherry was a nob !!!

He barely touched him, I've seen soccer players with less play acting. Heads come topgether all the time in boxing, should Eubank really be punished more than others cause he lacked subtlety?

Heads come together unitentionally with fighters facing each other. Eubank purposley aimed a headbut at Sherry with his back to the guy. I've seen fighters thrown out for less. It is the intent he should have been penalised for. I admit Sherry made a lot more of it than it was and as I posted earlier it nearly cost him dear.
