    I didn't say all his fights chief, but Eubank had a tendency to 'fight down' to the level of his opponent and get drawn into scrappy, horrible, low action fights.

    After Watson II, 13 of his next 15 fights went to points...

    No disrespect to Eubank, great fighter. I'm just saying, the 'occasion' outdid the 'action' on a lot of those nights.

    cherry made a disgusting homo gesture while Eubanks back was turned he grabbed his hips...Eubank then rightly got pissed off and head butted him.
