Chris Eubank got lucky against Michael Watson & Nigel Benn

[Hitman Hodgson]

There was nothing lucky about the 2nd Watson fight. That uppercut was unbelievable, one of the best I've seen.

i can't remeber much about the second Benn fight but imo the first fight with Watson was a clear decision for watson. i had watson winning by a few points and when eubank was given the nod i really felt for watson, he didn't have the eubank's flair or benns tenacity so i think he was sometimes overlooked by the mainstream/casual fans and overlooked for the big fights.

watson imo beat both benn and eubank and yet to some of the general public he is not as well known.

in the second fight watson fought like a man posessed, that was only one of two times (the second being against joe) that i saw eubank with a strange look on his face. Eubank normally was in control, never flustered and gave the impression of complete confidence in his abilities but vs calzaghe and watson II in particular he looked like he knew he was out of his depth.

as for the benn fight i've not seen that one in a long time but i think i had it a draw.

Yeah Eubank was very lucky in the 2nd he was about to be stopped and was way behind on my card but landed that monster uppercut, despite its terrible outcome the 11th round of Watson Eubank 2 was one the most dramatic rounds of boxing I have seen. There first fight was much closer though I gave it to Watson by a single point.

Absolutely! I'm rarely surprised at the outcome of any fight, but that one was almost a surprise in every round.. Eubank being put on the back foot & made to look amateurish was a surprise in itself.. Although dramatic, you're right, the finale was upsetting..
I remember the post fight interview (before Chris was aware of Watsons plight)
And Eubank (I'm sure regretfully) protested that Michael should be immediately tested for performance enhancing drugs.. He was as shocked as everyone else, minus 'that' uppercut, he knew he'd been owned that night..
Some people don't like Eubank, mainly because of his eccentric posture.. The truth is, he's a really nice fella & was a really good entertainer.. I think he could'a given all the top USA fighters problems.. No ones gonna KO him, that's for sure! Regards MM

Eubank was one of my all time favorites too!

I think that Jones, Toney and McClellan would have beaten him. But none would have annihilated him IMHO, decisions all round.

I think Eubank would have beaten Nunn.

You don't get "lucky" against Nigel Benn. When you REALLY lose to Nige, you'll know. Lol...

The Watson fight... maybe.

Funny I just watched the Watson fight again last night and I could easily have Eubank winning. It was nowhere near as controversial as people made out.

I had Benn winning the rematch but again, it was close.

The truth

With all due respect to G-Man, he would not have been able to dent Eubank. Not even wobble him, to be honest. Eu would have beaten him MUCH easier in my mind than I could see him beating Michael Nunn.

In terms of the judging in the first Watson fight and Benn rematch.

Agree or disagree?

I disagree.. Please NEVER speak poorly Of Eubank again.. Thank You
