Is Likes Eubanks Juniors
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
Ben had to lose 6lb on the day for his fight with Eubank, he lost 2lb running 3 miles on the tread mill fully clothed and 2lb shadowboxing in a sauna for 45 minutes.
Benn lost the fight due to Eubank being the stronger fighter but contributing factors were swollen eye by the thumb and losing the weight on the last day.
Benn’s contract stipulated that he earn 4 times the amount Eubank was to receive. Eubank got £100K.
Hearn said he made no big money on the contract but as Arum did not put options in the contract Hearn could get Eubank to defend the title against whoever he wished.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
22,000 attended the rematch Watson v Eubanks 2 at White Heart Lane. Watson was an Arsenal fan and went into the away dressing room.
Watson injury may have been exacerbated by him landing on the rope causing a whiplash. He was not given oxygen, which helps the injured fighter for a long period. Watson had 2 operations within 24 hours to stop the blood clot. Rod Douglas had the same injury but got the oxygen immediately and lives a normal life but unable to box ever again.
Benn visited Watson regularly and supported him when his house was burgled. Benn did not want the publicity but Watson’s mum insisted people knew.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
