    There was a thread a few day's back on great british come from behind victories. Don't think this one was mentioned. Great fight!

    I'd never seen it before and wasn't aware of the result. So I enjoyed it immensely.

    The kid Hope, on the Quigg undercard, reminded me of Wharton a little. So i watched this on Sunday, as well as Benn fight. Does anyone know what he's doing now?? One tough ****er Wharton.

    Great value was Wharton- the eubank fight was sensational.

    Definitely doesn't get the recognition that his talent deserves. Put up a great showing against both Eubank and Benn and was just unlucky to come through at a time when the UK had such a wealth of talent at the weight.

    Great post, will watch this later :good

    Great fight thanks. I hadn't seen that before, Wharton had a ****ing ridiculously good chin. I remember watching him against Benn as a kid and being a Benn fan couldn't believe the shots Wharton took.

    I'm told there were even more punches thrown outside the ring when he fought Benn than inside... :bbb

    Fidel Castro Smith boxed his ears off. Average boxer really.

    Didn't he have the sobriquet "Slugger 'O' Toole"?
    Why bother?:lol:
    Fidel Castro Smith not exotic enough for him?

    Cracking fight that thanks for posting, Wharton was a limited but durable slugger was he ever knocked down in his career? Those commentators were awful though and Frederic Seillier a terrible pundit, almost makes me wish I didn't understand the language!

    Later on in the show they were going to show Joe Calzaghe against Tyrone Jackson...
