Nigel Benn improved as a boxer coming to USA. Had some exciting contests with some champions Dewitt and Iran Barkley.
Benn went back to UK and fought a brutal war against Eubank and the rest is history.
Nigel never lost to a US fighter.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
that fight is an argument against the three knockdown rule
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Was the oddest thing as ref Padilla seemed lost at the end looking to time keeper. On all three knockdowns his count was tame and not assertive.Either way I think Barkley had his fill that day. Great memories with this one. Fights are funny like that. Specific ones you recall the who what when and where precisely, your point in life etc.Originally Posted by TIC
