    Tyson v Rudduck is the fight I have watched the most.

    Barrera v Morales 1 is the best fight I have ever seen but do not watch it as much as I am a fan of Eric but Barrera should have got the decision.

    Benn v McClellan is the most courageous and inspiring but the end puts me off watching that which is why I do not like to watch Eubank v Watson 2.

    Just because Benn-McClellan was mentioned (never be a better fight for me watching live on the night. Electric. Brutal. The atmosphere. We didn't know at the time it would end tragic).

    But watching G-Man-Jackson the other week - he was sticking his gum shield out and doing that blinking stuff in that fight too, when he got hurt/tired.

    Yes rumour is that was where G Man got his brain injury against Jackson

    If you watch the interview after their first fight G Man says he was tired and wanted to go to sleep when commenting on Jackson's power.

    Jackson was also battering G Man until the head clash.

    Yeah G-Man had been seriously hurt and was under the cosh when he got a bit "lucky" (I don't really believe in luck in boxing) against Jackson. G-Man wasn't just a massive vicious puncher he had a granite chin too - which unfortunately probably aided in him being brain damaged.

    I watched it

    Jackson did seem to win all of the rounds, the head clash affected him at the end of the third but I think he came back to take the forth

    If Mclellan did get his brain injury during that fight then he was very lucky between then and the benn fight that it didn't surface earlier

    All that sparing and 3 fights or something

    I'm not sure we can actually pinpoint when brain damage occurs from punches. The gum shield/blinking was a sign he was under stress. But my point is he did it before the Benn fight so it wouldn't have been a tell that he was injured.

    It takes away some of the horror for me to know that he was doing that in the Jackson fight. Just like Eric's 44 said now I'm going to have to watch that fight again. What a horrible thing that been McClellan fight was I watched it over and over and try to see where the damage started to occur. So horrible thing to think about

    Mab erik could watch it over n over
    Marcos vs broner was so satisfying
    Jmm vs pac1 didn't even catch it live but a replay and just seeing Marquez blitzed and then fight his way to a draw made marquez pretty much all time favorite
    Jmm pac 4. Finally got satisfaction lol

    Never knew this.

    Gman trainer was useless on the benn fight and the referee never helped.

    Benn vs Gman will stay with me forever.
