Benn-Eubank II - my scoring, my view

[berry]

Three other close fights many deemed that Eubank lost - Watson I, Thornton, Rocchigiani - I've re-watched recently and score them all for Eubank by significant margins. He boxes beautifully in these three fights actually, sweeping the first 4 or 5 rounds of them and being efficient, effective or active enough down the stretch to keep his nose clearly in front.

I think Benn II was a genuine off-night for him. His offensive timing wasn't there.

[BIG H]

Can't remember my RBR score, but I know it would be VERY hard to find a way that Eubank won that fight. I had Benn a clear winner

[HattonTheHammer]

Still very bitter about this so many years on

Benn won the fight by a clear 2-3 rounds

[Hulk]

Nigel Benn won the fight.

No doubt about it.

Had to go back and def had Benn up by 2.Have to say as crazy as it may sound out of all of his close-depatable fights I actually think Thorton deserved the nod over Eubanks in more convincing fashion.Rewatched and had him up 116-113,official score well skewed to me.He flat out out worked and out hustled a going through the motions Eubank.

when the final Bell went I knew Eubank hadn't won - but I seem to remember wondering about the draw.

the deducted point made all the difference.

I still can't believe there wasn't a third bout - no I don't count that Gladiators showdown thing

I can't really remember the other two fights you mentioned, but in my mind Chris Eubank for certain lost to Watson, Benn, in close but clear enough fashion.

I had Benn winning by a couple of rounds and from what I remember he was unlucky to get the point deduction. Eubanks wore his trunks far too high.

[Althugz]

I watched this fight when i was real little..can't even remember it. Wanna go back and watch it but i hated Benn and was a big Eubank fan...so i'd probably be inclined to score the close rounds to eubank as the o.p did

[porkypara]

Had Benn winning by a few rounds I think.

[Dark Lord Al]

Benn won the fight in question by 2 rounds .
Other fights Eubank lost :-
Watson won the first fight with Eubank.
Dan Schommer beat Eubank by 3 rounds.
Eubank had numerous dodgy decisions , and never in my opinion " BOXED BEAUTIFULLY AS YOU SAY "

Eubanks was protected by the then new governing body called Warren Boxing Organisation.
