What happened in this fight? I heard Rocky lost a controversial decision. Is that true? Was Rocky robbed in his own homeland?
And was it a good fight?
Chris Eubank vs. Rocky Rocchigiani
No, Eubank deserved the verdict. It wasn't a great fight, but Chris moved well and his heavy - if sporadic - counters kept "Rocky" largely in a defensive shell.
In hindsight, it is a great win for Eubank, given the location. But this was just before Germany became the fortress it is today, and Eubank was always well in there with the WBO. He lost several WBO title fights (not this one) but was given the verdict.
