    i remember it very well, had loads of mates, round at home we were all cheering for Watson, was such a shame what happend to him, i hated boxing after that, could not bring myself to be into it as much, for a couple of years to be honest,

    ****, I opened this thread expecting some old timer story and then realising how old I am myself now, I remember talking about the fight with my history teacher at school who I knew to be a boxing nut.

    That punch from Eubank was just HUGE.

    He was ****ed - tired - been hurt and down - he pulled that shot out of the depths of his soul - such was his will to win.

    Agreed that punch was hail Mary personified. Every drop of Eubanks determination, strength, honour and will to win was put into that uppercut. It truly came from his feet amazing shot. Just a truly sad result in the end, had that punch not caused such a serious injury it would be viewed as one of the most perfect blows ever delivered.

    One of boxing's saddest stories. Can't believe it's 20 years either.

    Neither were close around the time they fought eachother. Watson was giving Eubank disgusting, disturbing stick (deep and sick), and Eubank was being thee A grade wanker around that time - he really was! He can deny it, but he ****ing was
