Post by Lausse »

I would like to add some Chris Eubank fights to my collection of tapes so if anyone can tell me his most action packed and entertaining fights i would be grateful for the information and any details about his best fights.

Yeah, I agree with that list, I would add Benn II to that list and also for a great KO, get Eubank vs Jarvis.

Many of Eubank's title defences were actually very dull, but the fights the guys mention above are the most dramatic.

His win over Rocchigiani in Germany was also entertaining and a class performance.

How did Jarvis manage to get up from that. As David Brennen(Screensport Commontater) said he was Eubanked..

eubank - schommer

Post by Spreadking »

I have his 1994 fight with Schommer, which was pretty close. I scored it for Schommer, as he was moving, but Eubank landed the harder shots. Hard to fight to score, but not very entertaining.

I don't think anybody's mentioned Eubank's first big win - the win that secured Chris his title shot at Nigel Benn - a thrilling decision over Jamaican banger Anthony Logan in 1989.
Logan of course floored Benn and had him on the verge of a stoppage in a sensational fight at the Albert Hall in 1988 before Benn threw a punch from the floor and chinned his man. Logan was a real dangerman, but Eubank pasted him for eight rounds in February 1989 in a great display.

Logan was indeed a dangerman for sure...Benn's win over him was a massive hook which Logan moved his chin out and caught...he was subsequently stopped and his chance had gone. He should have beaten Benn that night who looked raw and over reliant on his power.

yeah i remember that fight, it was awful, wasn`t it in south africa or egypt or somewhere.
i thought schommer had done enough to win and in fact eubank had looked unimpressive the last few fights but he beat wharton in one of his best displays next time out to show there was life in the old dog yet.

Yeah in Sun City, South Africa. Schommer never fought again. Eubank would pose at the end of each round for ten seconds. It was funny.
