    Toney would light Ben up.

    Weird pick, but I think Nunn could’ve made the adjustments to decision Toney.

    He’d slowed down in 1993 though.

    If this was at SMW, it would have been a weaker version of Nunn.

    Not a weird pick at all. He was dominating Toney when they did fight.

    And I felt he looked a bit better in the fights after Toney by sitting down on shots more and adding hooks to the body to his game - the very awkward dangerman livewires Ashley, Cordoba and Sosa were beat the crap out of and he was flurrying flashier than ever against Yonker. He looked better at the weight above than he did against Starling and Curry

    strange I thought it was a draw? Pretty sure my card was 114-114 and the judges saw it 115-113 each way and the 3rd 114-114

    **** it watched Eubank Benn Rematch on silent and..... (Eubank 8/13 betting fave)

    R1-Benn
    R2-Eubank
    R3-Benn
    R4-Benn
    R5-Benn
    R6-Benn (9-9)
    R7-Eubank
    R8-Eubank
    R9-Benn
    R10-Eubank
    R11-Even
    R12-Benn

    115-113 Benn

    Eubanks timing is off outside, but he hurts Benn inside enough in the sixth to slow him down. Benn is pinned on the ropes in the 5th, 6th and 11th but slipping and sliding enough to evade Eubanks flurries

    That would be much better, and could even see a Eubank-Benn final with Benn possibly winning if Eubanks timing is off and Benn's head and body movement is on

    Strangely, with commentary, I always remembered giving Eubank five of the first six and Benn five of the last six. But scoring it just now on mute I see it like you see scored in quote

    Lol we had 9 out of 12 rounds scored different. There were some close swing rounds but wow that is a huge disparity

    Score it on silent.

    I just scored Eubank-Watson I on mute and get a TOTALLY different scorecard - I always recall scoring the first five rounds to Eubank clearly and most of the rest to Watson with the 10th being Watson's biggest round and the 11th a Eubank round.

    It is now very different!

    June 91

    1-Watson
    2-Eubank
    3-Watson
    4-Watson
    5-Eubank
    6-Watson
    7-Eubank
    8-Eubank
    9-Eubank
    10-Eubank
    11-Watson
    12-Eubank

    115-113 Eubank

    Muting a fight seems to force you to watch it with greater focus

    I also had Mike Watson ahead of McCallum 3-2-1 after six on mute, McCallum seems to be taking over now though as I'm watching it. Brutal fight, both faces marked and swelling.

    SMW Nunn is being overrated. He's lucky that Lightning Little and Fabulous Frankie Liles weren't included in the brackets.

    You scored it 114-114? Even though there was a point deduction?
