It was a miss timed shot, and it wasn't brutal. Joe showed heart? By fighting a fighter who'd been destroyed by Johnson over 4 years EARLIER? Roy was 9 weeks from being 40, and Joe had DISMISSED him on TWO occasions before they fought. So he got up and showboated with a guy who he wouldn't fight when he was anywhere near prime? Wow!
Is this true?? I was thinking he was supposed to fight at LHW but CW :rofl if true, yeah clearly great win by Joe amazing that win alone made him ATG:rofl shot weight drained Eubank and his fans claim this to be top win atsch
Hey mate, youre a good poster, so i wont indulge in insults with you I only meant he showed great heart by getting up after that brutal forearm. Obviously it was unintentional, but it was still brutal, and had Joe severely hurt Thats not even debatable, it was a brutal shot, had him hurt, but he got up and survived, and fought back like he did whenever he was in trouble
Don't be naughty Serge. Mackie was pumping stuff into Roy's ass??? He looked noticieably bigger than Ruiz? Ruiz was around 16 stone.
I'd say it was a good to very good win. Joe was 25, Eubank had 11 days notice, then retired two fights later. I don't see how it can be classed as a GREAT win.
Again, you never allow for circumstances. The fighter who Joe fought in 1997, was NOT the Eubank that had beaten Benn and Watson etc.
fair enough mate actually debated over whether calling it a very good/great win - cant believe someone picked up on that
Hi mate, It was a hard shot, but I wouldn't call it brutal. Joe had a great chin and great recuperative powers, and I'll definitely give him credit for that. But I find it hard to praise him for what he did against Roy in 2008, when in 2007 he said Roy was shot, and the fight would be pointless.
