Lol I did a thread on this exact same fight a few months ago and had the same result as you, Eubank winning it by a point. It was no robbery. I'll have to hunt around for my actual scorecard.
Agreed.No robbery there.Could have gone either way though. Cracking fight it was,both technical and entertaining.
watson by a point could have gone anyway, was much much closer than people think, was a great fight though, looking back not as big a robbery as peole think
Watson was completely out-classed that night. Eubank put in one of the most skillful performances ever produced by a British boxer and won by around 7 rounds. It wasn't even close. All Watson did was walk forward and get hit. He didn't deserve a re-match and only got one because of the public outcry.
That fight is another example of someone making such a noise that people think there was something worth shouting about. A close fight can't really be a robbery, whatever Malignaggi thinks.
I thought Eubank got a close fight. It was an entertaining fight hence the rematch and Watson was definitly winning the rematch widely. Also in regard to some of Eubanks dodgier defences I have heard that willie pep won a round without throwing a punch but tahts nothing Eubank does it regulary
Obviously this is the least of his worries from that night, but Watson would have been an absolute monster at Super-middle.
i think he was a beast that nigth could he have kept up that form. Not not inthis class but its like Frazier vs Ali 1 where he lost it afterwards
