Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn

[stefjonno1]

Eubank thinking collins was hypnotised, definetly spooked him.

Yeah, the way Eubank fought after knocking down Collins was sad to see, you could tell that he just didn't have that killer instinct anymore.

He did it in one of the Thompson fights too.. I think it may have been the 2nd fight, in which he decked Thompson who rose on unsteady feet as Eubank just stood there doing his Pea**** pose.. This gave more than enough time for Thompson's head to clear, and he went on to win..

Quote; StefJonno1 - Yeah i think most people who never really liked him, had a lot of respect for him after those two fights, i know i did. It was also a pretty dumb move, as he could easily have made plenty more cash fighting at light heavy. He had plenty left in the tank at that point. In saying that like you say he could have easliy got the nod in the first fight.

The eighth wonder of the world!... I wonder why he did that?


Quote; Dynamite Kid - Most people subscribe to the Eubank was never the same post Watson opinion and whilst there is a degree of truth to that i dont put it down to him losing his "killer instinct", i put it down to Watson laying out the blue print of how to beat Eubank, dont let him fight at his own pace and make him work, both Calzaghe and Collins applied this against Eubank, we have to remember that Eubank looked a million dollars Wharton before his fights with Collins.

I agree with this.. Spot on!

Would these fights involving Watson, Eubank, Benn, Collins, Thompson etc have been shown in the U.S.? I'm guessing he Benn/McClellan fight would have.
