Nigel Benn: a very DIRTY fighter, every time

[Fenster]

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

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

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

I remember standing around in a crowd of afternoon drunken school buds who were all yelling the exact same thing as Benn sat on someone's shoulders and pumped his fists . Good memories this one. Truth is Benn didn't even connect while he was down on 1st kd, clear misses. Carlos Padilla seemed a bit lost also, very indecisive. Benn landed one time on 2nd kd and should have been warned or lost a point...but Barkley was going down again. I remember his interview after and lamenting "He never hurt me, but I'm not sour grapes at all" His manager jumped in and says "it wasn't an official knockdown and we're taking it to protest, the third knockdown is suspect" etc.....at which point Iran waved his hand in his face and said "I don't have no sour grapes you know, if I say a man beat me then a man beat me, but he didn't beat me maybe this was the way they felt they would win it. They got it. but hey protest or not I don't want to sound like no sour grapes or nothing like that. I just think you know, I demand a rematch, if not then no problem, if that's it I'll just hang up the gloves"

Blade carried on for many years after even at heavyweight.
