Great upload, thanks. Legendary fight, love Chris senior. His heart and chin don't get the recognition they deserve.

[@peterparsons7141]

Never understood that. Chris Senior just never got recognized and was tops at his time, but the boxing insiders in GB gave him nothing. He must of done something or not played nice with the media… doesn’t Matter cause his record and all his fights were good, even the ones he lost.

[@blackandwhiteart3790]

@@peterparsons7141right, he was phenomenal and literally one of the greatest British fighters to ever come. It’s beyond me that he doesn’t have a lot of recognition

N. Benn was ready to fight to the death. Great performance by both fighters👍🏾

There is sometimes a guy you run across who is just a little better than you at everything that you are good at.

[@Uvray]

Got the feeling back then, as I do listening now, Jim Watt couldn't wait to see Eubank lose. But Eubank made him eat his words at almost every negative comment. Good fight though. Two of Britain's best.

one of the best fights i’ve ever seen tbh

[@justinward-angelucci7207]

What a BATTLE!! This was one for the ages, I wasn't even born yet but I was thinking about the Joe Rogan video. Then I watched Ubanks apologizing for the damage he caused, which had to be such a weight off his chest! Easily, one of the best fights in the history of boxing! Two warriors! As Nigel Benn said "One Love!"

[@sergioflores9246]

Release Duran vs Leonard asap‼️‼️‼️

[@peterparsons7141]

What’s interesting (first round) , Eubank lands countless right hands, clean. And the announcers don’t mention it. It’s Benn this and Benn that, why were the so pro Nigel Benn ?

[@mrbwatson8081]

Because Nigel Ben is ex army and Eubanks was …. well Eubanks was err you know… Eubanks was Eubanks a bit like Marmite you love it or you hate it:)

[@peterparsons7141]

@@mrbwatson8081 I get it, I think Eubanks did add value to his bouts by “playing ?” The heel. But without a doubt Eubanks was a talent and drove himself to championship level. I just read the Watson story, and how Eubanks and Watsons neurologist helped through the recovery.

Great stoppage, legendary fight

[@tman2741]

That was a terrible stoppage

[@radseven89]

Awful stoppage, especially because there were only a few seconds left in the round. Richard Steele was notorious for bad stoppages. Just look at Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor 1. Richard Steele stopped the fight with just a few seconds to go in the final round, giving Chavez the win he wouldn't have got on the scorecards.

[@garthfieldcarter5589]

It has nothing to do with how many seconds are left. Benn wasn't defending himself properly and Eubank began unloading. As a referee if a fighter isn't defending himself intelligently and taking shots you have to step in, it only takes a split second to unload a career ending shot. Going out on your shield is such a bullshit 80s mindset, ask Michael Watson or Gerald McClellan their views on early stoppages vs going out on your shield. Trainers are culpable too look at the state of Cleverly here and listen to his corner making him go out for the next round which they should never had done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3bJaaeVqN1-eZo

[@dassacable]

You dont see knowing to mutch about boxing.. The referee dont care if the round have 2 seconds or 2 minutes left, if he see a finish fighter, is over.@@radseven89

💪🦯💉 gutted he got nicked on the juice, I really liked him . Been following boxing since Shea neary vs Andy holligan in Stanley park, Ricky Hatton vs Michael Stewart M.E.N and Jamie McKeever vs Tony Mullholland ( Everton park sports centre ) ! The last one was a unbelievable fight !!! If you get caught taking P.E.D's you should get banned and go to prison. Makes you think if the elite boxers of the 90's - early 00's we're juicing !? Looking at ther physiques and stamina to fight 12 rounds at full speed they must of . 😔 the respect these fighters deserve is unbelievable, however doping in this sport is unforgivable!

I think a lot of men today can look at the humbleness and respect of not all but a lot of boxers back then you have to remember we are human we all have some form of demons so when it comes down to someone you consider a lesser being be kind

Poor Chris. His tongue was cut wide open, one of the most painful wounds you can incur, and that old vampire's TOTALLY ignoring it even AFTER Chris mumbled,"I have to go to the hospital." The serpents with mics in their hands, as the guy's bleeding out of his mouth, EXPECT them to have some long chat immediately after getting hit in the head and body for 36 minutes. 🙄 The fans understand more than the media ticks on the floor and would've understood why Eubanks had to leave, if only the ghouls around him would've let him. Disgusting blood suckers. 😤

Mike McCallum would have made both of them look like amateurs.

[@chrisgullett4332]

You cannot make anybody look like an amateur. Amateur simply means you participate for free. That is the only difference in amateurs and professional, professionals work for money. Also, one fighter did beat both. Steve Collins fought both twice, and beat both of them twice. Collins is one of the most underrated fighters of that era. A few years back Collins and Benn were both gonna come out of retirement and have a third fight, and Collins even got licensed again, but the commission would not sanction the fight. Now there has been a bunch of old fighters coming back.

[@anslemslove5215]

@@chrisgullett4332 - "Look like an amateur" is an expression that means "someone who does not have much skill in what they do". Mike McCallum made Michael Watson "look like an amateur" in their fight, whereas Watson had given tough fights to both Benn & Eubank (twice). He beat Steve Collins too.
