Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuba nk

Don't worry you'll get to experience it all over again when Calzaghe fights Kessler, as it's Kesslers ring entrance now

hehehe

EUBANK!!!!

Eubank...

You know I've gotten more and more into Eubank now have seen a lot of his fights as of late I've also seen a documentary on him
"When Louis, Met Chris Eubank' fwocken great documentary.
Anyone else seen it?

I'm not a fan of Eubank but that song always got me ready for a fight.

Eubanks entrances were the best in boxing in my opinion. Cheesy song, pantomime villain, pumped up crowd= great entertainment.

It needs the crowd, the atmosphere and the anticipation to make my hair stand up, otherwise it just makes my skin crawl

Sorry I've been harbouring that grudge for a long time

Great track and it is a boxing anthem.

Eubank and his ringwalks with that music blaring was entertainment.. sometimes more entertaining than the actual fight.

Eeuuuuuuuuuuuuubbbbaaaaaaaaannnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

He really WAS F****** ITV for a few years, Averaging 15 million TV's tuning in (including every single pub and club in the country, ie 90-95% of the population probably), taking him a good 3mins to get to the ring with that song blaring out, people craning their necks to get a glimpse of him (not just in the arena, but in every pub and club in the country), and then the nostrils widen a few more inches, the chest rises a few more inches, the back muscles widen a few more inches, and the nostrils widen a further inch, he preens the apron, prowls, whips the country into a frenzy "Euuuuuuuubank! Euuuuuubank!!" and then, after a few seconds pause, up and over he goes.... "SIMPLY THE BEEST!"

Ledge.

CC Mick i seen it, that Louis is a fuNny character he has done so many of them shows with celebs from the UK.

When Eubanks fought Benn for the first time and his subsequent fights on ITV he was very good, but when he went to Sky and had that silly contract of making million pound per fight he was handpicking the worst fighters possible and they were awful fights with few exceptions. It was after the Watson fights admittedly and the road death which did affect him but the fights were terrible and he fought down to their level. He had a great chin but he made his money out of his early performances against Benn and Watson but truthfully he could not live with Roy Jones, McCallum or Herol Graham but that early version would have beaten Steve Collins with ease.

Agree with pretty much all of that.

He had all the tools, but post Watson he always just did the bear minimum to win - very frustrating.

P.S I reckon he would've stopped Bomber Graham in the 11th or 12th after losing every round
