True, that was a robbery. And it was all down to corruption. Not much has changed since then really.Quote:

I've read all the ideas and there are really some very finds here but I still believe after having read it all that for the sake of boxing and on a human point of view, changing the Resto-Collins with a first round knock out for Collins with the glove scam being discovered rifht after would turn one of the most awful event into the happiest ending ever.
man that would of been BAD!Quote:

I also agree with Nameless, his instance is better than ours.
eubank-benn I
The whole country wanted nigel to shut the flash git up, when he got knocked out it almost seemed as if the world had stopped that night. Had we of known the issues surrounding benns weight we would of wrote him off straight away
But being british we naturally hyped him up so he could eventually be knocked down
Agreed on that.Quote:

Also I would like to point out Ricky had lots of non-English fans out supporting him in Vegas.Loads of Welsh,Scottish and even a few Irish were supporting him.
The whole of Britain and Ireland were hopping for a Hatton win.
I know I was hoping Hatton would win...until some idiot Hatton fans decided to boo the National Anthem
HTH, so Benn had trouble making weight? I had not heard that.
Tyson-Douglass
6pound overweight the morning of the fight and had to lose it in 2hours before the weigh in by running for milesQuote:

Even Benn losing to Watson they said benn was spending 2 hours doing his hair.Quote:
