In 1993 Eubank & Benn had there 2nd fight in which it ended with a highly debated draw. But who did win the fight and how would the winner progressed with the win. I own a copy of the fight and i scored the fight having Nigel Benn winning by 2 points and that was counting the low blow he gave Eubank. So i think Benn won the fight and should of won the WBO and would of been a united champion already having the WBC belt. Micheal Nunn was in the crowd and said he was goin to take on the winner. What would of happend if benn got Nunn and if he beat him? Could of he became even more of a legend?
Who won Benn Eubank 2 in 1993 and what next?

i thought Benn won and the point deduction was not valid IMO if i remember right its been a while since i saw it but i dont think it warranted a point deduction
Eubank was trying to con Richard Steele in the first fight cause Benn was ripping hard shots to the belly which were hurting himComment

What? no...Richard Steele is never conned, he just takes the money from the highest bidder like in JCC-Taylor 1.i thought Benn won and the point deduction was not valid IMO if i remember right its been a while since i saw it but i dont think it warranted a point deduction

The rematch was nowhere near as good as the first fight cause Benn knew he couldn't be as reckless ,so he out boxed Eubank to what most think was clear win!
Even when eubank did that TV gladiator thing with Benn he acknowledged Benn really won the rematch !
by this time they were Buddy's though!Comment

Dan Schommer outboxed Eubank but he did not get the decision
Eubank even admits he lost that fight in his book
i think Eubank's extra strength and size,power bailed him out many times he has been outboxed on a few occasions IMO but just did enough to win because of that extra strength and power
people overlook how hard Eubank hit with his right hand he put Collins down and had Thompson all over the place a natural CW
Eubank's right hand was not technically sound a lot of the time he arked it or through it over the top or jumped in with it leaving himself open but one thing is for sure it was hard to avoid the one constistent weapon in nealry all of his fights was that big right handComment

Benn won the second fight IMO but Eubank was a crafty bastard! He'd somehow make the fight look like it's going in his favour when it wasn't.
Eubank-Watson I was a bigger robbery. How Eubank got a decision in that fight is still a mystery to this day?Comment
