Originally posted by The Surgeon View PostHaha, its hard to think of a fighter who hated another fighter as much as Nige hated Chris! U a Benn man back in the day or a Eubank fan?
I loved Eubank's role of arrogance, winding people up. Was so fresh.
I also loved Benn just being a normal guy, from the streets of London who just wanted a scrap.
A match made in Heaven really. I liked both guys but I probably was slightly more Eubank.
I was at the first fight in 1990, in Birmingham. One of the best night's of my life.

Man that must have been incredible, the atmosphere even on film is amazing.

His mean streak in his prime was something to behold, someone you just wouldn't want to cross.
It was great, the first fight. Probably the best crowd I've been involved with.
Froch-Kessler 2 on the weekend was comparable though to be honest.

I scored it 116-112 Froch. The atmosphere was insane.
First fight I've been to in the UK in quite a while so was great to experience it again. Nothing like a UK crowd.
