By the way, do you know much more about how Eubank incorporated karate into his boxing? I've read elsewhere that it was only the footwork really, but then I'm wondering because he holds his hands so low. After the first Benn fight, the post-fight interviewer talks about, 'Going forward... facing Nunn... you're gonna have to start keeping your guard up?' but Eubank replies, 'Sometimes my guard being down helps'Comment

He did some Kung Fu **** at one point against Kid Milo briefly, the way he held his lead arm. I don't know, he liked to kind of hold his gloves at sternum height and together, making it very difficult for opponents to read what punch would be released next, and most of his shots were six inches!Last edited by coghaugen; 05-16-2020, 04:38 PM.Comment

Snr is a pompous idiot but i love him. I still maintain he has one of the best chins in the last 25 years of anybody not named the atomic bull or david tua.
I had him beating carl thompson, he really should of retired as the CW champ, which would of been ridiculous considering he jumped 2 weight divisions and started at mw. He was winning the rematch too until his eye closed.
Cheers for the link.Comment

Eubank is a wind-up merchant, I think he loves that his persona gets under people's skin
