    Boxing is a mug's game, as Eubank used to say

    Here, watch this clip of Eubank and Benn having a little scuffle, they really don't like each other do they hehe Eubank is a wind-up merchant, I think he loves that his persona gets under people's skin

      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'

          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!

            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.

              He clearly beat Thompson and clearly could've stopped him a few times but stood off instead.

              He started at 154lb.
