It was lashing down with rain yesterday, so I put some coffee on and watched a bit of prime Nigel Benn.

We're back in 1992 and Benn is trying to dethrone an Italian in Italy. The uber-confident Galvano.

Here's a lovely find on You Tube of the fight and the build-up, when ITV still delivered big-time boxing. Jim Rosenthal and Reg Gutteridge absolutely building-up a world championship fight as only they could. Eubank is there too ;-)

Benn is under the pump back then, up at SMW and Galvano is a WBC champion boxing at home.

The fight is about remorseless and intelligent pressure/aggression from Benn and the Galvano camp realising that the game is well and truly up and essentially bailing-out before Benn really destroys their guy.

I'd still contend this is one of Benn's finest victories when he was simply too much for anyone on the given night. Its a WBC title and taken on the road :salut:

Khan-Maidana. Such a great fight and Khans finest hour.

Shields-Marshall. I still had Marshall nicking it. Shields slaps a lot when tired and under pressure.

Haye- Mormeck. Still an impressive away day win.

Calzaghe- Reid Such a close fight and a shame we never got a rematch.

Froch- Taylor Such a hard hard man. An incredible 12th round.
