Mind Games: Collins vs Eubank 1/5

Steve Collins spooks Chris Eubank by telling everyone that he has been hypnotised

[@Nautilus1972]

Eubank embarrassed himself with all of this mind-games bollocks.

[@barrythebuck]

whether u like collins or not u must respect him he went from a journeyman 2 the best within 2 years, Hypnotism or not he done a great job

[@moobear1108]

Collins beat you physically and mentally beat you twice in a row 😁

[@BozJustBad]

Absolutely. Collins was one of the toughest and bravest fighters ever. He is IRISH after all!;)

[@countsmyth]

This is hilarious Tony Quinn is a chancer big time, and Benn was scared because he hipnotized Collins haha!

[@thegranddilligaf]

I've met Steve Collins- there was no hypnotism involved- he was just fucking with Eubank's brain because that's what he used to do. Or at least that's what Steve told me when I asked him.

[@cogROCKER]

Steve " the IRISH animal " Collins !!!

[@fookfocketyfookfook]

HYPNOTHITHM Collinth, thath theathing!

[@alcoyne3333333333333]

Anybody got the pre fight press conference ??

[@Smoking_Joe]

Cast iron soon took the place of wood in many buildings such as the Ironbridge in Telford (first cast iron structure). Cast iron is also the best material for precision machine tools so it also spawned the start of a new generation of mass produced, precision mechanics and machinery. Still used in almost every machine tool nowadays for it's strength, robustness, rigidity and speed of production it is clearly obvious cast iron was a major factor in kick starting the industrial revolution.

[@molly0000000s]

This is like a Brass Eye skit.

[@cianmcd3]

the fighting irish . yup cabra

[@Smoking_Joe]

I'm lucky enough to come from what is dubbed the birthplace of industry, Telford, Shropshire. England. It was here and the surrounding areas where Abraham Darby first perfected the smelting of iron using coke, thus enabling for the first time the use and production of cast iron.

[@AnglOsAxOn2]

That was the the turning point for eubank.He hates boxing but was good at it so made it his carrer.He was never the same fighter after that particular fight.

[@jawlig]

holy shit, eddie hearn is a lot like his father

[@Edgisco]

Yeah you'd think they were related

[@JoeChewter]

legend!

[@rudatheboy]

my dear boy the internet was invented by the american military in 1967 in the pentagone when all computers were connected together to make for easy communication but your half right too an english man figured to make it a global network.

[@jdig1984]

I'm going to educate people who say Collins was an inferior boxer to the great Benn and embank late 80 and early ninthys they all were fighting at middle weight Collins was weak at the weight he was natural supermiddle he had a good run at middle till he met atg mike macallum (who beat bomber graham and Michael Watson) Collins gave him a great fight being a novice and then was on the wrong end of a decsison to reggie Johnson and lost to Sumbu kalambay another wrong decision having come back from USA Steve changed style to beat eubank and Benn at supermiddleweight and went undefeated afterthat my point is Collins at supermiddleweight turning pro could have unified the division he had a he'll of alot of experience going in to eubank fight and was very strong at that weight the brawling tactic worked for him he would have spoilt any attack with his strength and grinded down Jones toney any of them eubank and Benn in fairness had great careers but it was all sky hype Collins would have troubled them at any point of their careers

[@jdig1984]

Mo Money yeah that's right mo I remember that going on in media on and off with Jones. Steve should of chased him to light heavy weight I think Steve would have been comfortable in that division . but definitely out of 3 boxers Collins called him out eubanks was happy in his own bubble till it burst, and Benn was mentioned with Jones but nothing came of it.

[@regkray9872]

agreed!

[@alcoyne3333333333333]

Couldn't have put it better thanks pal.

[@alcoyne3333333333333]

@@jdig1984 Jones was afraid of Collins a good reason as eubank and Benn found out .

[@kid--presentable]

You are spot on with your analysis and historic facts

[@rudatheboy]

ya it has rappers rap about hennessy and we do grow great spuds .

[@countsmyth]

Yer owl one said it was Benn!

[@ACNC1]

"The mind tells the body when to stop" I wonder if Eubank was spooked by this after the Watson affair. If the Watson event did'nt happen then maybe Eubanks approach would of been different.

[@Irish780]

@digibson6 history shows collins retired as champion. Not eubank r benn. THATS THE HISTORY

[@NukaColaProductionsNCPC]

Does anyone know what shirt he is wearing

[@countsmyth]

@tharleyify This guy is Tony Quinn, hes not even a hypnotist hes a chancer! Eubank never had anything to fear from this man!

[@davidoleary9361]

countsmyth It was Eubank who was very superstitious it wasn’t about the hypothesis it was about Eubanks fears

[@BozJustBad]

Collins looks much better with a beard,hehe.

[@stillceaser]

They have Doctors in Ireland? ;)

[@pearcemark2]

@Ballyhook History also shows that Steve's record is empty, he got annihilated when he tried to fight the best in america, he caught Benn and Eubank past their best, and he ducked Calzaghe so he could retire with that fake WBO belt. Gotta love that history.

[@jjmm112]

rud.who do you think,brains.....

[@roccoryan2008]

collins was lucky enough to catch Benn and Eubank past their prime. Benn would have knocked collins out if they had fought 3 years earlier, after the mclellan fight Benn was never the same again. Same with Eubank, after he damaged watson he too wasnt the same fighter, Collins was due to fight calzaghe for the WBO title, but instead shat himself and chose to retire. they are the facts.

[@alcoyne3333333333333]

Collins was older then both of them and they both avoided him for years .

[@ljcoolio18]

what child did'nt he rape is what u should be askin

[@agt155]

Invented Whiskey...lol, that's really helped your country. If only you could grow potatoes eh?

[@Nautilus1972]

@scullysedge Only Ali called himself the greatest. He wasn't tougher than Frazier - he was beaten twice by Frazier IMHO. Never put Frazier down in three fights. Foreman put Frazier down six tiomes before knocking him out in the second. Ken Norton broke his jaw. Earnie Shavers was a harder puncher. If Foreman and Ali fought ten times., Foreman would have won nine of them - he was awesome - shame he lost his bottle after 'losing' to Ali.

[@chorizopher]

That's grammatically incorrect. I think you mean "You're all dim"

[@123Geezer]

Don't talk rubbish mate - it's just mind games.

[@Irish780]

@pearcemark2. Bollox man. Who u kidding. . Il give u his address. So u can knock on his door and share that with him. .. Lol.

[@pearcemark2]

some fighters are shot before they hit their 30s, a lot of guys retire before then steve beat nobody, he failed to win when he had his shot in america, he's a eurolevel B grade bum

[@johnpaulmcdonnell1188]

Such disgraceful, ignorant comments. It's been 5 years since you made them, hopefully you've grown up a bit.

[@salahaddin2009]

how come he is not as big as benn and nigel lol, maybe he has no personality...

[@pearcemark2]

LMAO I always find it hilarious when a supposed "fan" like you knows less about the guy than someone who couldnt give a shit about him, such as myself. Steve fought in the US early in his career, the best win being a close Majority Decision with Tony Thornton. Then he was thoroughly outclassed by McCallum, and lost again in his next big fight against Reggie Johnson. That was when he ran away from america forever, knowing he would never make it to the top against the tough competition.

[@lloydee1983]

lol

[@salahaddin2009]

thats boxing politics for you..shame really as he did beat the best.
