    I can’t find a straight one-two thrown by Nigel Benn in his whole career.

    Umm.

    No I feel you made a good point, Benn didn`t actually throw that many jabs.

    I’m sure he did against Lou Gent.

    Okay I`ll have a look but that only went a few rounds and was a brawl.

    Yes he threw several jabs, none of them landed, but also threw a 1-2 once.

    No need to when the one and the two had so much power.

    His jabs weren`t powerful.

    It was more tongue in cheek. Benn didn’t do a lot of thing by the textbook but it’s also a big part of why I and millions of others loved him

    Benn vs Watson is still baffling. Almost every solid shot Benn threw was a hook.

    Benn blamed his trainers he said after he fired tem the best trainer he had was Jimmy Tibbs who taught him to roll away ffrom shots, he was wide open v Watson, it was like Ali v Foreman, rope a dope and Benn gassing after his corner just repeatedly saying "steam him" lol like Honeyghan v Starling just constantly punching arms and gloves.
