A great chance to watch an all time classic tear up. 11.15pm. Nice to see them aiming directly at the uk public, wont read too much into it tho. :bbb
Superb fight. Well worth another watch. The post-fight interview is also magnificent. As the fight ended early ITV had time to spare so interviewed both fighters for about 10 minutes. Brilliant stuff.
I was at the fight and Benn, not in the best of shape, basically ran out of gas, although Eubank showed real balls as the crowd was very pro-Benn. Chris took his chance. The show was marred by one of the worst undercards, surely, in the history of boxing, including Michael Watson vs a horribly shot Errol Christie.
Errol Christie wow forgot about him, and agaisnt a possibly peak michael watson. amazing fight. best rivalry on british soil and one of the wars of the ages. thanks for the heads up
count me in ....i'll def be watching this classic!? Just curious as to which commentary they will have on it....
Yep, watched it on there a few weeks ago - it is certainly worth another watch :yep They have been showing a lot of classic Brit fights recently like Turpin vs SRR, Louis vs Farr and Stracey vs Napoles.
Think Tommy Hearns was their 1st champion. Light-heavy against James Kintchen. Dont know the year but sure they used the hitman to help give the belt some prestige.
But Nigel Benn hurt Chris Eubank more..than in the rematch. Nigel Benn was in shape..! The first fight was at a faster pace, and higher intensity..! Both Fighters where ****ed..!
My first visit to live fight, NEC, loved every minute, seem to remember Benn had big trouble making the weight,probably one reason why he was knackered,classic night....
