    I never understood the hate for Eubank. One guy (Nige) was partying all through camp, taking drugs and spending his days with notorious gangsters. The other (Eubank) was a clean living family man who articulated his truth and rose countless money for charitable causes.... Strange looking back really at the love for evil and hate for genuine good.

    Eubanks started his life rough and worked towards the image of English gentleman although artificial his gentleman act was manifested with genuine intent towards good, we are all alone in this world and show only what we want others to see and he showed us a charitable albeit flamboyant role model cut from a similar cloth as the great showman Ali.

    This is what you call head movement:

    Eubank was very arrogant towards Ambros Mendy when he first came on the scene and called out Benn and walked out of the press conference of the first fight with Watson.

    I met Benn at the York Hall when I went to watch W.O.Wilson fight Andy Till for the southern area title, Wilson was a close friend of my family and my mum took me up to Benn in between undercard fights to get an autograph, but I forgot my boxing program, so Benn signed his and gave it to me, seemed like a nice guy, I think he developed a wild personality after his brother was killed by racists.

    Yeah, Benn at Old Trafford is also what you call head movement.

    I remember scoring it for Benn close, but don't recall what my score was.


    Kinda rethinking the necessity of this post at all now, really.

    Yes. Old Trafford may fit in (now) 70,000+, but for those who do not know, it has no real width to the stands, they just go up!


    Basically the scorecard was done off the roars, and perceived swings!!!


    Still, I reckon I did better job than Terry O'Connor would have done from ringside... ;)
