Re: Bravest Losing Effort From A British Fighter.
In fairness, was taking Buchanan to the cleaners was Duran, and a couple of Rds before Ken was looking for a way out, From my memory remembering His body language.

Michael Watson against Eubank II. Watson fought at the pace of a featherweight for 11 rounds and almost sacrificed his life when Eubank landed possibly the most beautiful, deperate, perfect and devestaing uppercut I have ever seen.
Hodkinson fought Marcos Villasana in 2 WBC , feathweight fights , losing the first by stoppage , winning the second on points.

Yeah the losing one it was heart breaking to watch him trying to see the ref talking to him through his swolen eyes. If I remember right he was badly swolen in the second fight too but not bad enough to stop him winning. Gutsy fighter.
Re: Bravest Losing Effort From A British Fighter.
Yes he was an excellent fighter but he fought Goyo Vargas at his peak and was beaten comprehensively.
Re: Bravest Losing Effort From A British Fighter.
Richard Dunn vs Ali and Watson vs McCallum.
