Both knew the rules so it was still fair, with Benns chin it could so easily have been him, with Benn before watson especialy it was do or die, if Barkley had held or moved for the rest of the round he would have gotten out of it but Nigel was relentless and punched hard in to the last round, so it would have only been a matter of time for the Blade.

This fight proves Benns and Eubanks worth over Toney because Toney repeatedly states that iran gave him his hardest fight after Benn fought him.
