    I was at the 1st Eubank-Close fight. What a tremendous battle it was and although I liked Eubank I thought Close just nicked it that night. Close boxed superbly and the knockdown saved Eubank from losing his title and I still don't know how Close got up and recovered so well from it. Great, great fight.

    No disrespect kid but I suggest you rewatch it. Close is tapping arms and air all night while making annoying noises, his only successes come from countering Eubank's slow, long, loopy, inaccurate overarm right with 3-4 good short shots (rat-a-tat-tat), and the only rounds he won were the ones Eubank decided to take off (four of 12).

    Eubank was robbed of his perfect record that night.
