    GazOC desputes this and said Benn never relocated to USA.

    However I agree with you - I read Benn's book - and I'm sure he lived in Miami for a while - had a house out there etc.

    I think Duran was Half Pissed while Sparring with Benn that session.The 1st round He tried did Nigel, the 2nd He was told to calm down which He did.

    I was at the event... In fact both Duran and Tim Witherspoon were in Britain and trained at the same place the same week.. Tim Sparred with Trevor Hughroy Curry and knocked the stuffing out of Trevors headgear literally as he prepared for a bout at the york hall against Mauricio Villeagas.........

    That was just from memory, hardly "disputing" anyone elses version and, unlike the guy who posted the clip, at least I got the country the spar took place in right...;)

    At least I didnt get wrong the place he actually lived :shock:

    "he never relocated to the US FLINT" - GazOC's comment puts egg all over his face ;)

    At least get the quote right, I deliberately used the word "think" because I was going from memory.....:p;)

    I still think the bigger error is yours, you posted up a clip and backed it up with wildly inaccurate background information, I was merely attempting to help you out and extracate you from the web of lies you found yourself in.;)
