Tell me this about Chris Eubank...

You could make an argument for his fights against Ray Close, Graciano Rocchigiani, and Nigel Benn II. Although I don't think any were blatant robberies, just think these three nicked it.

 

No blatant robberies spring to my mind, a few close ones, but the way Eubank could make an opponent look stupid (espec. early days) probably edged the fights in his favour.

 

Watson I was very close too

 

Rocchigiani got schooled

 

Fair point Joe, maybe it appeared closer at the time because the fight was in Germany and Eubank hadn't knocked him out. I did only watch it the one time.

 

I was only a kid when I watched this fight so maybe I'm wrong - there's a thread on this fight in the Brit Forum.

 

Eubank's great strength was his counter-punching. The more you lead, the more you get in return. Made him very hard to beat as a champion.

To clearly beat him mean't a massive effort and I only saw it twice - Watson II and Calzaghe, where he was arguably drained.

The fights where the opponent didn't attack were usually lousy!

 

very good fighter but for some reason i dont like his style.

 

You're not the **** who refereed the Ottke v Reid fight are you?

 

watson I and Benn II were pretty tight...

 

watson I was a blatant robbery.

 

Although he was behind in Watson II I don't think there is any doubt who won the fight! I always thought Watson might have got the nod in the first fight though. Close probably deserved the nod. Benn II would have gone to Benn had he not been docked a point iirc which sounds about right.
