    'Ricky was reckless. I imagine he didn't listen to the trainer, Floyd Senior. But when he did counter punch after the first round, Ricky was doing good before he lost his control again.

    'He may have possessed a faster foot speed than Pacquaio, but Pacquaio was in control enough to use multi-directional foot movement that caused Hatton to keep having to change direction once he'd got close to catching up with him. Ricky would then get frustrated, throwing wild punches to try to close the distance, and Pacquaio's masterful movement would come into play in that as soon as he'd land on Ricky, he'd weave and side step to avoid exchange.

    'Ricky wanted to fight, Manny wanted to box and punch. Pacquaio has the discipline and conditioning to weave and side step after almost every punch or combination he throws. Maximo Pierret taught this to me and I put it into practice in one of my best wins against Graciano Rocchigiani.'

    Interesting video, do you know what the story between Eubank and his wife's split mate, they seemed like a genuinely close couple 'At Home with the Eubanks' (was it called that?)

    Did Eubank talk on his opponents, how he thought of them, who was the best? Always thought Watson was exceptional

    What he doesn't have is his missus, the ever-calming influence on his way-out lifestyle. She walked out last July, while he was at his friend Lennox Lewis's wedding in Jamaica, taking their four children - Christopher Jnr, 15, Sebastian, 14, Emily, 11, and Joseph, nine - with her to the new £1.6m beachfront house in Brighton that Eubank fortuitously had put in her name.

    Friends say that Karron, who has reverted to her maiden name of Stephen-Martin, has a new man in her life, a blow that has hit Eubank harder than any of those delivered by his opponents in his 13-year career.


    Thought they looked more like enemies personally on that C5 prog, not very close (the wife clearly wasn't into him).

    I thought they looked close, but the documentary you posted gave some insight. She wasn't happy with his out of control spending and also wasn't happy about him spending on charity according to CE. She left when he went bankrupt. I actually thought the divorce may have been a sham to keep money away from creditors although it's within a woman's nature to push away someone who becomes a weak provider.

    Chris mentions his mother a few times, I'm guessing he's West Indian, any idea of which island his family is from. Anything on his family? Does he have a biog out btw?

    Jamaica, man. In his autobiography, I recall Eubank saying Bob Marley was his boyhood hero.
