This is my first fight that I ever saw at age 10 or something.
I haven't seen it for a while.
It brings back memories. Good and bad.
I never knew boxing then but recall my friends telling me of Benn being in prison and stuff.
What a great fight. Both showed so much heart.
G Man was a beast.
Nigel always will have my respect, I love him. Heart of a lion and such a man outside it.
If these two were around at 168 today...
The ref was crooked as hell (french ref), jumping in the way for no reason, but Benn is allowed 20 secs to return inside if anyone mentions that.
EDIT: Just thought of this in reply later on.
This fight is just a reminder for me, often I forget that boxing is dangerous and people lose or basically have no life left.
Respect fighters because they all fight to feed their family and risk their lives.
