    I was watching Mercer vs Cooper during that invasion. Right around the same time.. Also a great fight.. Maybe we should only watch boxing when wars are declared !!! LOL.. Benn vs Barkley was a real barn burner and an example of how sometimes the three knockdown rule can interrupt a very good fight.

    Still the most blatant unpenalized late punches I can recall ever seeing in a major fight.

    Benn was all about the fouls and not getting points deductive or DQ'd.

    I always liked Benn's reply when asked about hitting Barkley when he was down: "Because he was trying to get up"!
