Toney-Benn

[daggum]

You're either ******ed or just looking for arguments on the internet, either way I feel sorry for you. Benn caught Barkley with a right hook for the 3rd knock down and you could see his legs go as he fell into Benn and the one before that was perfectly legit too.



All I see there are excuses which haven't been proven so until they are I'm going to call bull****.

yes he caught him, his legs go he falls into benn and benn pushes him to the ground. how is that possibly legit? and the second one is clear as day a rabbit punch. i have the actual fight that shows the replays so i know. you are watching a grainy youtube video.

they didn't find "proof" cause don king paid off the doctors so they would let him fight and earn him more money. mclellan kept complaining of dizzyness and headaches leading up to the fight. his welterweight sparring partner hurt him with a jab and he kept blinking like in the benn fight. pretty good evidence that he had a brain injury. you can choose to ignore all that if you want but that's just the facts. mclellan was also never tested after his first fight with julian jackson. they were all 1 round blowouts. benn was the first time he really had a tough fight. plus all the rabbit punches and headbutt probably didn't help.

It's possible but he still destroyed all his opponents in a round since then up to his meeting with Benn, and very nearly finished Benn in a round too. That is a great win for Nigel no matter what way people want to look at it.

that I can agree with, the heart he showed in that fight is legendary.

but that fight might have ended in the first round if that ref hadnt taken forever to start up the fight again. he stalled pretty bad

yes it is a great win but still controversial cause the ref was obviously biased in the fight and especially throughout the first round when he kept stopping the action for absolutely no reason other than to give benn a chance to recover. any unbiased fan will acknowledge this but i don't know if you do.

I have the fight on DVD, you can see from the youtube vid anyway that he was on his way to the floor from the right hook that landed and took his legs away.

Didn't know DK paid off the doctors, I'll need to look into that. I'm not sure I believe his welterweight sparring partner hurt him with a jab...Benn was landing bombs on him and it took 10 rounds to stop him. That was one of the most brutal fights of recent times so it's likely Benn did the vast majority (if not all) the damage.

that I can agree with, the heart he showed in that fight is legendary.

It might have I agree there, Benn had good powers of recovery though.
