[porkypara]

What with recent controvercial desisions I have dug up the past.

I had Benn up by a few rounds.

Here are a few videos about the result

I thought Benn won by a couple of rounds, he fought a much better fight than the first bout.

[ICB]

I thought the 2nd fight was a very disappointing fight, considering how good the 1st fight was. But Nigel Benn still won it by 2 rounds IMO, i think Nigel Benn for certain won no question. It was a close fight, but i still felt there was no doubt who the winner was.

I though Benn won by a couple of rounds, he fought a much better fight than the first bout.

Yes,I think Benn brought a bit of control to his boxing.

[GAME]

I think Benn got a point deduction or summat happend which made Eubank the winner by a point on my card .

Benn landed a low blow.

I *think* I scored it 115-112 Eubank, might have been 115-113 though. I thought Eubank came good in the end rounds to sneak it. There were a few rounds that could have gone either way though thats for sure.

It wasnt such a bad result for either fighter in a way as they got to stay away from Don King!

Eubank had so many gifts during his reign.

Benn won this fight ,
Dan Schommer beat Eubank.
Ray Close beat Eubank.
the list goes on and on.

I agree,Eubank was IMO very overrated.

He only looked good against fighters that went straight at him like Benn the first time.

Remember the Dan Sherry fight? very lucky to get the nod.

[GAME]

Eubank had many close decisions go his way.

Towards the end of his career he became a fat cat and was too lazy to try and take a fighter out . He blames teh Watson fight . I blame lack of stamina and aggressive mind set

Prime for prime though I think he was a better all round boxer than Benn

The dans Shery fight was right after his first fight with Benn and he was very lucky to win that.


I think Eubank has used the Watson fight as an excuse for being lazy and his poor skills at finnishing a hurt boxer.

A bit off the topic but wondered earlier about Chris Eubank vs. Tony Thorton ??

Dug it up and played it again.Have to say....I think Thorton won that fight.....by 3 points .Thorton is/was as simplistic as you can imagine with pressure but Eubank gave a whole new meaning to back foot punch & scurry that night.

[Master]

Eubanks was good but lost his mojo after the Watson fight. Do not forget those were brutal battles with Benn and Watson.

[Spicoli]

Anyone else think he might of been fortunate to get the nod Thorton as well......I remember even the Essett(?) fight being nip & tuck.

I watched this fight with a few mates - all downing the Stonehouse Cider.

We all thought Benn was robbed.

Have watched the fight since and Benn won IMO.
