ATG British Boxers??

I bet if you put a poll up nearly everyone would say they thought Benn won the rematch. A few might have scored it a draw.

 

I scored it by 1 to Eubank

 

Fair enough, thats the post you should have made instead of the "Could I see the result???" one...:good

 

Just a small and pedantic point but this really winds me up...how can you rank someone by "intangibles", by definition an intangible is something that cannot truly be measured. In boxing terms if you can list what an intangible is then it isn't an intangible

 

I had Benn by one but I'm not going to scream "robbery" over 1 point. It was a close fight but all a fighter has to do to "deserve" to win is get more points.

 

It should read ''tangibles'' :deal

It's probably a way of saying that one fighter might have more heart/courage than another without directly saying it..... but it's pretty obvious that some fighters have more stones than others, just like better jabs, hooks and defence.

Benn and Eubank both had plenty of balls, I wouldn't like to split them in that regard..... Benn might have the edge for facing the better opposition - Eubank was in the business for money and was pretty open about it.

 

Yeah, bad grammar on my behalf :good

a better way of putting it, is when I'm ranking two fighter for a certain placing, ad teir resumes/longevity/achievements are quite a close run thing, I say to myself 'who applied their own skillset more effectively than the other?' Or, 'who had the better attributes' (be it offensive, defensive or whatnot'

Wrong choice of word as I say.

 

R1-Eubank
R2-Benn
R3-Eubank
R4-Benn
R5-Eubank
R6-Benn
R7-Even
R8-Even
R9-Eubank
R10-Benn
R11-Eubank
R12-Benn

Benn -1pt for fouls (R6)

Eubank-115, Benn-114

 

If you were pressed to award the even rounds either way, how would you scorecard look?:good

 

Both were really poor in those rounds, just not deserving to win them.

Maybe Benn the 7th and Eubank the 8th, from memory, only because Eubank was even worse than Benn in 7 and equally as bad as Benn in 8 but managed to outwork him slightly in that one. Eubank got his jab working in 9 and 11, far too late in the fight. Benn landed the best punch of the fight in 10, a leaping left hook.

So, 114-113 Eubank?

 

Just thought I'd see if itds change anything :good

I've got it, might rewatch it over the weekend and see how I have it. Felt Benn edged it.

 

Wheres Cowboy McCormack?

 

Its always a good question to ask if people have a couple of even rounds.:good
