[Nutsin]

Fights that would have had a different outcome if both fighters were in their prime.

I’ll go Hagler v Leonard and Tyson v Hollyfield.

Who you got?

AHH  I sure do miss Tony Gubba boxing commentary on sportsnight on  a wednesday night .
Grew up watching some great fighters and I grateful for it 

when the BBC was the BBC....including the pro debut of Lennox Lewis in a British ring.

The start of the second round




 

Mickey Duff with a classic comb -over there.

I always had a soft spot for Honeyghan...proper twat of a man but as a fighting man I liked him...like Kirkland Laing ..different I guess...I appreciate different.

He'll likely fight Fury after next year for an obscene amount of money again.

Another fight that no one really wants to see anymore.

Classic Eddie.

The Hearns and Frank Warren are what they are..like all boxing promoters...hyenas in human form.
Greedy grubby cunts who have zero morals and plenty of chat.

For Clarity, Benn was knocked out the ropes and stayed on the apron, the 20 second rule applies for coming out of the ring, not the ropes. 

Fair point, I concede.

That'll learn me!

You're thinking of the wrestling.

'If the boxer falls into the apron (edge of the ring but out of the ropes), the count should be up to 10 as in a conventional fall.'

Benn was back on his feet and in the ring on the 10 second mark if you rewatch it.

You're making it out like McClellan was cheated out of a victory.  He wasn't.

I have watched it enough, he stumbles back in the ring well after 10, the ref doesn't give him 20 seconds as he couldn't, he keeps McClellan off him when he goes to restart for no reason at all, he also moves him off of Benn on a number of occasions and Jim Watt comments on the long count and how much the Ref is protecting Benn by moving McClellan away from him.

It's generally accepted, it was a long count, I wanted Benn to win, McClellan was a cսnt of a man, but Benn was very lucky to not get counted out in that round.

You get a longer count (up to 20 secs?) if you get knocked out of the ring, I thought?

And to be fair to Benn, he was pretty much up in his feet and back in the ring on the 10 second mark.  This was after the piece of shit McClellan had continue to punch him while he was prone on the ropes.

The ref did a slow count and gave him longer than he should have to recover. 

That's because the rules said he had to.  He had less than the 20 seconds he was allowed.

If you like boxing then this is well worth a watch.  I was trying to find some highlights of Benn Jr v Eubank Jr on You Tube and stumbled across this video of Chris Eubank Snr doing a commentary of his first fight against Nigel Benn back in 1990.  I was a Benn fan so wasn't really interested but gave it a go and must say it is a fascinatingly honest run down of that fight from Eubanks perspective.  After watching that up popped on my feed an old Benn fight against Anthony Logan back in 88.  I couldn't remember it but wow what a sliding doors moment.  Logan had Benn down for the first time and was clearly going to win as Benn had gone but somehow Nigel produced one hell of a left handed upper cut to knock Logan out.  Incredibly similar to Eubanks desperate last throw of the dice against Watson but without the tragic consequences.  Anyway this is a good watch.

You can also look at the Benn v McClellan long count in the first round, Benn should have been counted out, McClellan life changed forever and Benn gets a win when it could have finished bis career.

I'd wager that there's something in there to say AJ gets paid more for each round he stays in there, so that Paul doesn't get humiliated.

Didn't watch it but I heard with the Paul v Tyson bout Tyson didn't even throw a meaningful punch!  If someone actually put Paul on his arse it might stop all this nonsence.

I'm just reading that £70m is guaranteed as well.

Difficult to turn down that money.

[Council Scum]

I'm a boxing fan, but I hope Jake Paul beats him to prove what a joke it's become.

It will just get called a fix if he does.

Perfect for this scripted shitcuntery.

How many heavy hitters has he fought compared to Jones Jnr? 

[Massive Attack]

The arguments been made you just choose to conveniently skirt over it. Only 24 fights whilst fighting a number of heavy hitting heavyweights that would clearly take it's toll on anyone and need more recovery time. You can play it down as much as you like.
