Anybody who went in with a prime Nigel Benn with an orthodox defense and without a chin of granite would of been knocked out, unless they knocked him out before he knocked them out. Simple as that.Originally Posted by porkypara
Michael Watson beat him because he opened his gloves and cupped both sides of his forehead, dipped in with those elbows to protect himself from bodyshots and remained upright and very close to Benn to not allow him the full leverage he liked. Watson's tactics were outstandingly brilliant that night, Benn's were unbelievably stupid (punching himself out on Watson's arms and gloves to the point where he would hit the canvas from a jab). Eubank beat him because his chin was made from a piece of granite.
