Nigel Benn Appreciation Thread.

[JuicyJuice]

Benn lost his ******ity when he was 12, and was seduced by German MILF's in Germany when he was 17.

Nigel Benn took a close decision against Henry Wharton

[JuicyJuice]

Close decision? That was Benn's 'finest' fight of his career, he made Wharton look like a novice for the first five rounds (until Wharton's trademark left hook shook him up at the end of the fifth), really got his jab working.

I don't remember it being close.

Credit to Benn for controling himself and not falling into that kind of thing with those German women...or "MILF's" as you put it.

Have you ever heard that song, Stand & Fight by the Pack featuring Nigel Benn?

I'm trying to upload that right now.

I didn't see the fight, but I read about it.
The person who wrote the article might've been biased. They were talking about how Wharton pushed Benn to the limit.

Can you upload the fight?

That was funny as ****!

Gazza (Paul Gascoigne) was allowed to make a song, too. Gazza just got a bunch of buddies and went around Newcastle acting like p****, and it sold.

Nigel just got into a boxing ring and started rapping and that was that, they sold it. It was crap. It was released at a poor time too, just days after he lost to Eubank (but made obviously weeks before)..

Wharton froze, bigtime. People thought Wharton would take Benn (in a short slugfest), because Benn had a dodgy jaw (as proven in almost all his fights, such as the Lou Gent fight). But Benn suprised many by 'boxing' that night, was great to see (from Benn of all people, the guy who 'loved nothing more than a tear-up').

Henry was a tough ****er, Mickey Duff tried to make the fight in 1991 saying Wharton was the most exciting puncher in Britain and not Benn. Wharton used to punch guys OUT OF THE RING.

He only pushed Benn in the sense that he hit Benn a few times around the kidneys, and how Benn was basically just fighting through the pain (kidney pain) until the end. You see Benn bobbing on the ropes a lot in the latter rounds, if I remember.

I've only got it on VHS, somewhere, followed by the ITV News at Ten.

I've not got it anywhere, I just remember seeing it on 'Top of the Pops' when it was released.
