I was in Germany at the time of Rocchigiani-Nunn and it was a big deal! I remember Nunn just ineffectively flurrying at Rocky's guard all night, while Rocky didn't do too much but everything he did do was effective.
iirc, Rocky had vacated his smw title years earlier b/c he could no longer make weight. i think the effort to get back down to 168 affected his performance & possibly accounts for the lethargic start that ultimately cost him the fight. agreed, I thought Rocky won fair & square on the strength of cleaner, harder punching, whereas Nunn just ineffectually pity patted on Rocky's arms & gloves all night.
your comment about Germany is incompetent. Rocky never had a big promoter and was not protected like others.
Huge fan of Rocky but Eubank won the fight. People talk about Darius and Masks but Rocky was the better one and I thought he beat Maske. He should have been 1-1 vs Darius.
