Your favourite Eubank fight?

In fairness to Twentyman the British boxing sections is for (Who are the new British boxing talents and prospects) as stated on the British boxing tab when you view the threads.

 

This belongs in Classic Boxing (Boxing Discussion on the great fighters of the past)

 

Seeing him get a pasting from groves...

 

Haha, fair play mate. I wonder if i’ll do the same about the current crop, mind you, i’m only 11-12 years behind you.

 

What age are you Twentyman 36-37 ?

 

His fights were not really great fights to be fair, the first Benn fight was good, watson 1 was ok, stretch sherry storey were ok, close beat him imo.

He was hyped to the hilt, to the extent every six or so weeks Saturday night became Eubanks on and people stayed in and watched, it was great for the sport and he gave it great exposure.

I personally liked the wharton fight, as he gave a masterclass in boxing.

John Jarvis was overmatched, the punching postman Thornton was disappointing, Essett too.

Rocchigiani i expected more but it was a let down.

One thing for certain though he could fight, and i don't believe he achieved his full potential with the likes of Nunn Toney etc, i think he knew his level and stayed there.

Good entertainment at the time though, and looking back at his two fights with The Cat, just showed how brave a fighter he was, and almost pulled it off.

So whether you are a hater or not, he did give us some good fights, and Roy Francis was even quoted when asked who was the bravest fighter he had refd and he said Eubank.

I still can't believe how the cnut used to dress and was voted britains best dressed man, he turned up at a presser on a harley looking like MC Fcuking Hammer..

Will we see the likes again, fcuking hope not!!!!

 

Did he not do a return flight on con-corde to buy a suit ?

 

39 bud, clinging onto my thirties

 

Wow your one notch ahead of me lol, you a 79er ?

My vintage is 14/10/79 lol

Dude your in the prime of your life !

 

I certainly am mate. February, 1979...the year of Abba’s ‘Waterloo’ hit, Thatcher getting into power, and it apparently snowed in the Sahara desert for 30 minutes...I don’t think the last 2 are linked in anyway though.

 

Ha ha quality you old bugger

im guessing your about 6 foot 1 or 2 ?

 

You’re like Derren Brown Yeah, 6”1 mate. You’re good!

 

Watson rematch was in a league of its own.

Eubank changed the game. We are in debt to the man.

 

The man is in debt to the bank more like.
Jr, have you any comments regarding the Groves build up?.
Especially the part where you claimed one of either you or Groves is a fruad and about to get found out?
