    I vaguely remember watching this 1st time round back in 91 and also remember the headbutt incident in round 10 but I forgot how bad Sherry reacted and play acted, Eubank could of lost his title in bizarre fashion any else think Sherry should of been banned.

    Eubank was atrocious in this one, really looked poor. Though if you look closely, Sherry is just hitting gloves and arms like a girl and then back on his bike

    It's hard to see how Dan had all these amateur wins over Jeff Harding, Otis Grant, Richie Woodhall, Neville Brown etc with such zero ability to even punch or stand properly

    Apparently Sherry actually almost choked on his blood from mouth damage, believe it or not, and was passing out

    There was also talk of Sherry whispering racist remarks in Eubanks ears

    One of the best punches we'll ever see thrown.

    Dan Sherry was rubbish.
    The WBO was a joke to have fighters like him in their rankings.

    Next up for Eubank was British-level light-middle Gary Stretch !

    Stretch was a big name, pictured in the glossy mags dating all these models and daughters of celebs. But yeah, he wasn't very good really

    I remember the Hype for the Sherry fight, and people kept on bringing Sugar Ray Leonards name in to it as he was some sort of trainer of sherrys, and how he thought he is going to be the next best thing since garlic bread!!

    No idea what Sugar Ray was thinking saying Sherry was the best talent in boxing and the next dominant middleweight. Crazy talk. He was ordinary. Just spoiled.

    Also Freddie Roach bigged up Stretch, after he sparred with Virgil Hill and Marlon Starling for the Eubank fight. Saying there's no way Eubank can beat him. Weird.

    That failed miserably against Malinga!

    Had to bring back the old Dark Destroyer.

    Remember this when i was about 13 or so on ITV
    To my untrained eye i was shocked to think Sherry was doing ok (rewatched it a few months back when lock down started and was very wrong on that front)

    I remember a crap shuffle type goading of Eubank too

    The finish was atrocious and Eubank was quite lucky to not be cheated out of his belt

    He was poor that night and sgould have put Sherry away a lot sooner

    John Mugabi starched Stretch in the summer of 1993 in sparring when he was planning a comeback
