Nigel Benn: a very DIRTY fighter, every time

[brocktonblockbust]

watch how Benn NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE, hits his opponent when down

[IamInuit]

Nigel was an animal and once that switch went on its probably a little tough to think morally. I've always found brock that the "hitting when down" is exaggerated. Most of the time its in the middle of a melee and given the nature of the sport, its a little tough to turn the switch off. Of course there are some intent some times but the adrenaline and zone effect must be hard to counter.

Imagine the old days with no standing 8 or neutral corner rule lol. Imagine Dempsey standing over you waiting for you to rise to a knee so he could nail you again

Yeah them olden days sure were brutal it's amazing how long it took them to realize to give a count and to go to the neutral corner. It's a wonder there weren't more deaths in the ring with that stuff. You can see on the second knockdown in this video of the referee is trying to hold tlbenn back and he's shoving the referee out of the way and takes another shot at Barclay I think it was a little beyond the heat of the moment and personally I think that on the first incident one point should have been deducted on the second incident two points should have been and Barkley should have been given 5 minutes to recover

it happens at 3:30 and 5:50 for those who don't want to watch it all

Rocky was worse I do not know how you can say that about Benn in comparison.

Nigel Benn

Most definitely a 'free swinger'.

I don't think he was intentionally dirty. But he took it to the edge.

What a great way to deflect the point. This is not a comparison between Rocky Marciano or any other fighter and Nigel Benn. This is just an observation about Nigel Benn. So please don't try to avoid the topic so obviously

Anyone that starts watching that round then skips through it isn't a boxing fan. That is one of the best rounds ever.

[SlimTrae]

Definitely a rough fighter. The kinds of mentality, I'd like to see in the HW division. Dream on...

I can't remember the Blade being a choir BOY, can you Brock Benn tough nasty fighter mate, and
I like him.

@Master you have been very fair in this thread in that you possibly agree that benn was sometimes a very dirty fighter. That is enough of a fair gesture to make it quite satisfying. I appreciate that.

It is not often that,

The Schla-Master agrees with the intelligent ones on this forum.

Maybe, just maybe. He is showing signs of mental development.

You started the thread to say benn is a dirty fighter every time and I dsay he was not. I am correct.

Master I think you have misunderstood me. I am giving you credit for the fact that you wrote that he wasn't always a dirty fighter.
