    Eubank: Please give the man the money. [turns to Benn] If they won't give you the money, then please compromise your-
    Benn: I'll compromise, I'll go and do what you do & fight...fight anyone. I'll go and look in the top 10 or maybe top 30 and bring him up from the top 30 and put him in the top 10. That's what I'll do.

    Imagine that fight happening at MW, several years earlier when both were at their absolute finest, in Particular Benn. That fight would have been even more violent and likely a lot shorter.

    Imagine the Benn that demolished Barkley against the Mclellan from the first Julian Jackson shootout!

    I wasn’t expecting the fight itself to go three full rounds. Nobody was.

    I had McClellan on a sneaky left hook to body with Nigel giving it his all to get up showing agony in his face OR Benn with a haymaker (and follow-up) while wobbled himself!

    The face off show shown on ITV before the second fight between Benn and Eubank was hilarious- both fighters getting chummy, Eubank attempting to chat up Linda Lusardi in front of a live celebrity studio audience (fair play in 1993) and James Toney going absolutely crazy over satellite were all highlights. It was hosted by Jonathan Ross who did a shockingly good job in hosting it and keeping it watchable.

    WTF was Eubank wearing (those glasses) when walking out at the start?!

    I remember this snippet vaguely with Rosenthal after the weigh-in.

    Eubank’s foot movement was ballet-like that night, in a stop-start martial art type manner. One-off.
