For those not woke, USA's "Dangerous" Schommer faced "Simply The Best" Eubank at SMW for the WBO title in South Africa. One of Eubank's best ring entrances, BTW. He looked like a greek god, the audio was perfect, the lighting was perfect.
Schommer was undefeated with one draw and a solid KO ratio, but visually he looked like a pie next to Eubank. He actually had a full time office job, I believe and had only boxed part time in clubs.
Eubank was the clear aggressor, multiple times flush landing the shot that put Dos Santos out, but Schommer was overall more effective, with beautiful range finding and inside work. Despite this, Eubank got a controversial unanimous decision.
While Eubank was still in his prime age-wise, this stretch was right at the beginning of his decline after almost losing to Ray Close. He would never be same again.
Schommer would retire after this fight and was later inducted into the Minnesota Boxing Hall of Fame, largely for his performance against Eubank.
Eubank has been on record multiple times admitting that Schommer got robbed, and he felt that the judges gave it to him because it was best for business that he not lose.
Before the Joshua fight, Eubank criticized a pundit who was making derogatory comments about Ruiz's body, and felt that Ruiz had a chance to shock Joshua - which is exactly what happened.

Cruel remarks about @Andy_destroyer1 ‘s weight can be the underlying power in his favour because his body could be acting the proverbial Trojan horse.
