Benn beat McClellan while Lalonde was stopped by a past his prime Leonard, Benn was on another level to Lalonde but Donny would have a puncher`s chance and his longer reach would bother Benn, I pick Benn though, a far more proven fighter, McClellan was a bigger puncher than Leonard and would have destroyed Lalonde.
I have to make Nigel Benn a heavy favorite. Lalonde’s only chance is to go out early and land something huge and fast. But if he doesn’t he’s getting taken apart
I think Benn would really hurt Donny. Would be a bit of a wild one while it lasted tho. Would actually love to have seen this one. Good match, Stevie.
I'm actually jealous, Stevie. Lol He's one of my idols. His fights were always a must see in my house. Hope he's doing OK mate.
Benn is a tad underrated IMO so nice to see positive responses for Benn's chances. Nigel had become a much more intelligent fighter at 168 so I may buck the trend and have Benn winning a wide points victory, or perhaps a 9-10th round stoppage.
Loved Nigel, ever since i first saw him on Fight Night vs a guy called Rob Niewenhuizen. If I have a favourite fighter, it's probably Nige. His fights always got mates out to the pub in the 90s and I went the Eubank rematch at Old Trafford, so at least got to see him live.
Nice one mate. Yes he always had a great fan base, who couldn't enjoy watching Nigel! They don't make many like him
