24 years on, memories of that tragic night at White Hart Lane

I was there that night and afterwards went to Rudolphs the night club next door where I spoke to Eubank 's trainer. I recall suggesting James Cook as a viable opponent for the next big domestic. At the time we were unaware of the tragedy unfolding. Very sad

 

Both Eubank & Watson carried so much muscle in the ring that night and it was the last fight of same day weigh-ins.. and the pace/tempo of the fight was unbelievable, Eubank rallying with flurries and The Force tucking up and rallying back with short strong combo shots to the forehead of Eubank.. it seemed Chris gave up after six rounds because Watson just would not slow up or weaken, stopped trying to be slippery almost and so Michael then really took control and pummelled Chris until he finally succumb, falling to a knee at the end of the penultimaete.. and where he found that uppercut from is anyones guess, but WHAT A SHOT

Had the Watson incident/accident not happened I don't think Eubank would ever of lost and may of challenged the top Yanks.. he had that knack of pulling a great shot out of nowhere -- Benn first fight the falling 4inch right hands when hurt, Stretch unreal left uppercut and later the leaping combo finish, Malinga oddly angled right hand to drop him, Close 4inch uppercut off the ropes first fight & late rally second fight, Collins first fight right hand drop shot right after Ronnie Davies slap (then posing instead of finishing), Calzaghe dying seconds out on his feet and big Thompson out on his feet 3-4x..!

This was a great fight, a truly great fight with a truly great finish.. speed, strength, stamina, skill, drama and aftermath all in abundance

 

Three posts and two are from Eubank. You couldn't make it up!

 

Remember watching this with my dad as a kid. What a fight, what a fighter Eubank is by far my most favourite fighter.

 

For what? The FACT that you're using multiple aliases in one thread and everyone knows about it?

 

Eubank was a fave of most nice normal psychologically sound people, in the country..
