"A blessing in disguise."🙏 Boxing legend Michael Watson recalls his life changing fight with Eubank

[@talkSPORT]

Michael Watson, what a legend 👏

[@Ali74]

He’s a class act. Unluckiest fighter ever (outclassed Eubank twice) yet has a totally positive mindset. Genuine inspiring man.

He lost to Eubanks twice but still a great

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

@@streetsbloglondon7444 Eubank was lucky to get the decision in their first fight. Watson lost the rematch and nearly died because his head struck the rope when he went down at the end of the 11th round. If Watson had gone down in the centre of the ring, he would not have sustained the brain injury. Watson was extremely unlucky in his fights with Eubank and even more so in their aftermath.

[@asagimina22]

So great to see Michael doing so well in life. You are a true hero.

[@fabolousjada5070]

[@hulmerist4297]

Inspirational and heartbreaking. I feel for Chris Eubank too, what a weight to carry. Peace light and love.

[@markdavis8430]

[@sgtmitch4907]

In my view the 80s & 90S was the golden age of boxing

[@sgtmitch4907]

Remember watching Watson fight and that fight with eubank amazing to see him on talk sport thank you

[@TheIkaraCult]

I try not to elevate sportspeople, or public people in general to being heroes. But Michael Watson is a hero of mine.

[@richardmell299]

A true "Great Man".👍👏

[@TheIkaraCult]

Michael is an extraordinary man.

[@TheZoltanF]

Legend…

[@PC-lu3zf]

I recall the sad night he had that terrible accident in 1991 I was a big fan of boxing as a 9 year old I was worried when he fell over against the ringside:( And seeing him unconscious after was sad:( Glad he survived took years for him to be able to go home from hospital.

[@Viator19]

Im in tears watching this. Incredible man.

[@martinsolomon5500]

What a recovery. Amazing story. I remember the night in 1991.

[@stevenevans6577]

[@nicolaibalns1652]

[@johnnythomas8036]

God bless Michael.

[@GovanDave82]

What an amazing human being, my heart melts when I hear this guy speak ❤

[@richardfairlamb9728]

What a man. He’s still a fighter.

[@raymondbruce7175]

The forgiveness in his heart is astounding a truly great man and perhaps the greatest English man ever. A real christian true to his beliefs.

[@paulclarke3947]

Part of era with top talent and to me you was the best in this era .. god bless you Micheal you are a legend

[@Garry-fc6dm]

Amazing Guy I met him to day I can't believe how this guy has recovered its so unbelievable how he's just recovered from the Fight of he's life God bless him

[@SOGtv-76]

He is right, his team shouldn't have let him go for the last round. He was even refusing to take the gum. And they have to help him up for that round. Bad people around him indeed. God bless you.

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

Absolute inspiration and legend. That night will forever be ingrained in my mind,brutal war I was 10 and in awe of both men then stunned,saddened what happened next. My nan passed the next day too,so a sad weekend. God bless Michael.

[@AnAdorableWombat]

Looking good Sir Watson!

[@maxinebowe8097]

Bless Michael...sending love always ❤️

[@mctavish4496]

This bloke is an absolute inspiration. He should have got the decision in the first fight with Eubank.

[@michaelairley2015]

Remember watching as a kid. Eubank got so much undeserved crap thrown at him. Great to see him doing so well.

[@chrisrowe7503]

The way he came back when they said he would be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life is an absolute miracle. When he emerged from his coma, he was like a baby. He couldn’t talk, couldn’t walk and he absolutely defied the odds. What a man. When Eubank cried on Piers Morgan, Watson was the first one to shout out, it’s alright Chris. We move on and I love you. It’s all in the past. He’s never resented Chris. It was the fault of the British Boxing board for having no medical services there. It’s now illegal for a boxing fight to take place without paramedics and specialist doctors present.

[@yourlocalbossman1359]

God bless you and your family Michael 🙏🏻

[@chadhorak1528]

Beyond inspirational to dig your way out of an injury that caused brain damage and paralyzed this man's body but he continues to have such a positive outlook on life. Michael Watson defines the word inspiration.

[@SeanLenaghan-dq2sb]

I loved this, real feel good interview, well done talk sport

[@andydyson14]

Great Man, inspiring to all. Legend of the game

[@marcelbrown5430]

Legend 🥊🥊

[@kwameaboagye-cl9me]

Big up to you Brother Michael Watson. An Arsenal fan like myself.

[@ditty4]

Michael before the injury had his own show on five live I used to listen to this elequant intellectual man 👨 my hero 🦸‍♂️

[@theprincezer0102]

inspiration

[@viera4]

He is a real Champ ❤

[@spendover]

Just shows what a lovely caring guy Jim is by making sure Michaels brow was moped

[@markdoughty8780]

Michael was very unlucky in the second Eubank fight as he fought the perfect fight to befuddle Eubank - and hurt him. He didn't win it by much but he won the first fight too for me. From the condition he was in, to how he is now is nothing short of miraculous. Inspiration, thanks for uploading.

[@zjthelion4829]

Not everybody is strong enough to forgive

[@rm8567]

I wonder if Michael would remember me I still have the bit of paper he signed when he woke up as my Mum was on life support same time I was 9 years old I love Michael Watson I am now 41

[@TheIkaraCult]

Importent to remember that Spencer Oliver also went through something similar, he speaks at the end of the video

[@clivepalmer3545]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TylerKing-fp8fb]

I feel sad for Prichard Colon..

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

Does anyone know when the photo in the thumbnail was taken? Because it wasn't when Eubank floored Watson at the end of the 11th round. Did Watson slip earlier in the fight?

[@albertquammie7677]

When the grace of God finds you, the circumstances that it takes in order for you to access His peace no matter how hurting it may seem to the world no matter how sympathetic others may look at this man. He is well please, and at peace that through such a circumstance he has Found the single most important thing in life. God's Love. Bless him

[@richiekavanagh9990]

Legend ❤

[@rudebwoy8]

I’m bawling…. ❤

[@TheWelwyn21]

Their is a lesson there, don't take up boxing. He's a decent bloke

[@russellfrancis6294]

The lesson is that boxing is quite immaterial.

[@dylanparker130]

Wondrous is the grace of God

[@lukemccann]

Amen

[@Gadgetdee1]

I remember this fight, it made front page of the news papers. Fast forward to 2022 and the powers that be will say that this is not newsworthy. Just shows that the world is getting more cruel and humanity has become a thing of the past. 😢😢😢😢

[@beverleyj23]

Bless xxx

[@maraNathan82]

What true faith in God can do for you. He mentions God several times. Maranatha brother in Christ.
