I haven't seen that fight in years can't bring myself to watch it knowing what happens at the end.

have you watched eubank v watson 2 pimp? thats even worse to watch because watson was absolutely fucked at the end of the 11th and the corner put him back out for the 12th round when in hindsight its clear that the damage had already been done.

Yes I have and both fights are hard to watch. Watson's corner had no business sending him back out. The guy was clearly not all the way there and it was a damn shame.

The worst part of that fight is knowing what happened after the fight. The ambulance took him to the wrong hospital and it took 2 hours to get him on an operating table.

A really dreadful referee , Benn was and is one of my favourite fighters , but shouldnt have made it out of the 1st round.

It wasnt the knock down , but the ref pulling Mclellen away for punching!!!!

Disgraceful, but not Benns fault.

[MichiganWarrior]

Benn sent a man into a horrible retirement by constantly barraging him to the back of the head with power shots.

There's a belief that G-Man went into the fight with brain issues as he had complained of frequent headaches since the first Jackson fight. He was also a notorious weight cutter which doesn't help matters.

Then again, lots of people get headaches and it doesnt mean they have brain damage. Who knows really?

I hate this fight and I hate Eubank-Watson 2.

Arguably the two best SMW fights ever (Liles-Littles 2 is up there) and they ended terribly.

[Post Box]

Real hard to watch knowing the result

If you want to see a powershot on the back of the head watch James Toney throw one behind Micheal Nunns head which was pretty digraceful as he was on the way to a ko.Still,Benn was rabbit punch mad against Gerald.

[SA Boxing fan]

Really tragic...so sad

[Mega Lamps]

Terrible referee job there. Who knows what would have happened with a different ref.

I was just about to comment on that and I'm surprise there was never a warning for those rabbit punches in which I believe it significantly took a toll in the fight

Rabbid punches are allowed and actually scored in the UK
