    Scoring Benn-Eubank II

    Scoring Benn-Eubank II


    (No sound.)


    Round One

    Benn-10
    Eubank-9

    Both men testing out their reflexes early. Very tense work. Eubank tried to potshot from the outside but it wasn't as effective as his inside work. Benn landed a few solid shots to the body and is the more active man inside.


    Round Two

    Benn-9
    Eubank-10

    Eubank scored from the outside with some sharpshooting. He used his jab and also scored to the body. Both men landing good left hooks. Nigel slow to pull the trigger but doing well at ducking, slipping and weaving.


    Round Three

    Benn-9
    Eubank-10

    A counter left hook wobbles Benn momentarily, and Eubank continues to shoot some well-timed jabs. A short hard right hand and some nice uppercuts on top of that win Eubank a scrappy round, although Benn starts doing a decent job at slipping the right hand and countering to the body.


    Round Four

    Benn- 10
    Eubank- 9

    Benn beginning to find his range with his right hand and body shots beginning to have some effect. Eubank's mid-round, mid-range flurry something minor.


    Round Five

    Benn- 9
    Eubank- 10

    Eubank gets in lots of nice left hooks. Benn had kicked it off wild but was turned against the ropes. Eubank had Benn on his heels a little with some crisp combination punching. A right-left combo on the chin might have hurt Benn. For the remainder of the round, Chris counters well with uppercuts and right hands.


    Round Six

    Benn- 9 (8, one point deducted for low blows)
    Eubank- 10

    Eubank lands a lot in this round. Inside punches force Benn back. Nigel gets in a small handful of head shots towards the end of the round.


    Round Seven

    Benn- 9
    Eubank- 10

    Eubank lands in two's and some single uppercuts, and gets out or holds. Clever. Quiet round for Benn though, plodding forward. Both men appear very tired.


    Round Eight

    Benn- 10
    Eubank- 9

    Benn's ripping the body with hard uppercuts and mixing in right hands to the head. Eubank showing inaccurate shoeshiner flurries and a lot of holding inside.


    Round Nine

    Benn-10
    Eubank- 10

    Eubank gets his jab working to clearly better the first part, but Benn really sinks in the body shots in the second part and has more activity inside.


    Round Ten

    Benn- 10
    Eubank- 9

    A beautiful leaping left hook hurts Eubank and a follow-up barrage has him stumbling a little. He comes back with a short uppercut on the inside, but no damage done. Every time he gets something done, he's getting hit right back with something heavier. Benn's round for sure.


    Round Elevan

    Benn- 9
    Eubank- 10

    Eubank tightened up his punches and started to use his jab again. His best round in awhile.


    Round Twelve

    Benn- 10
    Eubank- 10

    Benn starts on fire and nearly had Chris out early, but soon tired for a desperate looking Eubank to work his backside off and outwork Nigel to edge a share.


    Final Score

    Benn- 113
    Eubank- 116

        Memory? LOL or maybe its called not knowing ***** and then running your mouth about it anyway.

        Yeah mate, we got it - Calzaghe, Calzaghe, Calzaghe, gift decision, robbery, scared, ducking - carry on son.

            Euro-stars fighting fat yank-stars in fatyankeestan almost always gets shafted. Just a fact.

                [ Two tough-nuts you never fought were Jamey Toney or Roy Jones Jnr. How do you think you would have fared if you had?
                It would have been great for the public but had I fought them I would probably be walking around on my heels now. You would be fighting for your life with those men, but I would not have dodged them. They were never number-one contenders so the fights never happened, but I would not have dodged them. ]

                Good morning, Chris. Who's the man? Who's the man? Erm... Man-del-a.
