Was thinking of suggesting that alright!

Anyone old enough to remember that Eubank fight that they are releasing? Worth buying?

Eubank v Benn? Brilliant and savage.

No the one where he gave the guy brain damage, was back in 1991, too old for us I'm afraid!

Eubank v Michael Watson?

One of the most memorable fights ever - terrible shame what happened Watson though.

Is it getting a general release? My information was that it was only available to download from Eubank's website, with the proceeds split between himself and Watson.

That was a damned good fight. Could have gone either way. Eubank had a habit of winning the tight ones though. Mark of a champion I suppose.

The best and most savage fight of that era was the Nigel Benn v Gerald McClellan fight. That too eneded in tragedy. The 'G-Man' was rendered blind and brain-damaged from the beating he took.

It's a nasty sport boxing. I can't stop watching though.

The first time or the second time? Both were pretty damn sweet...

Eubank arrived into the arena on a mounted Harley Davidson.

He left with his unbeaten record in tatters and chants of "On yer bike, On yer bike, On yer bike" ringing in his ears. Priceess indeed.

Don't say that! Why can't you just walk into HMV and pick up the goddam thing!

Benn was the best of those fighters by a mile, but just couldn't cope with the damage done to McClennan and Watson. You have to be a freakily ruthless bast*rd to make it in boxing (or at least you did then).
