watch how Benn NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE, hits his opponent when down
watch how Benn NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE, hits his opponent when down
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.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Nigel Benn
Most definitely a 'free swinger'.
I don't think he was intentionally dirty. But he took it to the edge.
Definitely a rough fighter. The kinds of mentality, I'd like to see in the HW division. Dream on...
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
@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.
