Would Chris Eubank Go Through Joe Calzaghe's Resume Undefeated?

Anybody would prefer to take the opinions of former world champions Barry McGuigan, Jim Watt and Bobby Czyz who all scored the fights for Eubank that you say you score for the opponents, rather than your legendary opinions.

 

Andy Flute scored a flash knockdown once, according to Chris Pyatt I think who was also there.

Eubank knocked Herol Graham clean out, according to Johnny Nelson.

 

The Showtime scoring had Eubank beating Benn in the second fight.

 

I think Eubank deserved the nod against Malinga. In retrospect it's a pretty good win, particularly coming right after the second Watson fight.

The Schommer decision was a travesty, and he should have been disqualified against Sherry. The decision was fortunate taking into account the 2 point deduction.

 

If you cannot accept truth (ie Eubank schooling Watson, Malinga, Close, Rocchigiani and Amaral in 4th or 5th gear), you won't go far in life, Mr Serge the Great.

 

According to Eubank himself, Schommer was a master boxer and genius counter puncher, which is interesting, as Chris is a man renowned for his honesty.

All those people who winge and whine about other Eubank opponents deserving decisions based on workrate alone, what is with the Schommer one if you base it on aggression alone? Eubank won that decision based on aggression alone - being too strong inside for Schommer, coming forward, calling him in all the time etc, landing mostly leaping lead rights and brawling body shots, etc. You can't have it both ways. If you score these Close and Amaral and Malinga fights for those guys over Eubank based on your theory of workrate/aggression alone, you cannot score the Dan Sherry and Dan Schommer fights against Eubank because they kept moving away, didn't throw a lot and Eubank was the clear aggressor throughout.

 

I heard it was before the 2nd Benn fight, a flash KD, possible slip, in which Eubank got right up from. And a right hook it was, I heard. I think Chris Pyatt mentioned it.

I cannot take your word for it, because you're nobody.

 

Yes, I was there. Eubank used sparring to focus on offense alone and absorbing punches - Kenny Nevers beat the living daylights out of him (more so than Carr or Francis) and it's exactly what Chris wanted. Perfect work. He'd come out of sparring with former opponent Simon Collins (who he beat easily where it mattered) black and blue. His sparring fights with Errol Christie were legendary, middle of the ring taking it in turns unleasing flurries, for 12 rounds! He also got beaten up by Rod Douglas all throughout the summer of 1987 at the old Lonsdale gym before Rod had even had one pro fight! Why? Because he wanted to, to work on firing combinations in the firing line while under fire and bracing himself to absorb punches without showing pain as well as developing 'immunity' to blows.

Eubank was a 13-fight novice against Graham in Graham's home gym and had no idea at the time how to deal with a southpaw stance - he learned how to fight a southpaw by sparring Graham. And when he got used to it, he laid Herol to sleep.

 

It wasn't before the Amaral fight because Kenny Nevers was his sole sparring partner for that one.

 

I have never heard this, thanks for sharing.:good
