This feature from early 1992 rates Eubank highly, mentioning his impressive stoppage of Hugo Corti, saying how Corti had knocked out the great Hugo Corro in Corro's big comeback, that Corro had knocked out Jorge Castro in the gym a week before.

They talk his performance against Benn, in which Benn couldn't land one punch in the opening round and Eubank landed many sharp combinations early. Benn looking more impressive against DeWitt and Barkley than any middleweight in the world they'd fought had. Scoring a heavy KD against Ray Leonard's protégé Dan Sherry with one jab in the first round which is a rarity, and Sherry running and fiddling the rest of the fight before faking injury.

They also suggest Eubank beat Michael Watson by nine rounds in their scoring at middleweight in one of the most skilful displays they've seen in a British ring.

That the come-from-behind win vs Watson in the rematch was akin to Marciano and Leonard-Hearns and the finishing punch akin to Jersey Joe Walcott's title-winning shot. Proving himself truly great having turned only 25 six weeks before and having not started til 16 in South Bronx. And landing a counter left uppercut from the outside against a tall southpaw (Freddie Roach-trained Gary Stretch, who'd been sparring Virgil Hill and Marlon Starling) with all his body to the chin which is a rarity to see (if ever).

How was good was Chris at 160lb and did he have potential to be the best of them all?

New name for our resident Eubanks groupie?

lol Greg Nichols!! That's what I thought too

115-113 Watson

Eubanks defensive radar & reflexes = impressive as f*ck but he was clumsy with his lunges from the start, think he was too weight-starved making 11st6lb earlier that day. Watson was the consistent one from bell to bell

Not even subtle with his sock puppets any more lolz

You okay there? 111 remember. Eubank CLEARLY wins the first five rounds comfortably, and arguably the 7th, 8th and 9th because Watson is simply hitting oxygen due to Eubank's subtle head slips - a blind man can see this.

Just a simple truthster. Hurts, I know.

Chris is swinging aimlessly as early as the fifth, as if little left in his legs and it was a snails pace fight!Dude had atrocious stamina for a pro sportsman, his top-notch reflexes always gettihg him out of harms way tho

Unless he was v.severely dehydrated

Why does it hurt? I couldn't really give a toss either way. It's just boring.

You score R10 10-8 for Watson! I have that round even.

This muted scoring has R10 for Eubank - https://theneutralcornerboxing.com/2020 ... vs-watson/

I think you need help. No knockdowns, and Michael did F all in the round.

Mate it's on youtube for all to see, it's the counter shot to the body from Michael that buckles and hurts Eubank severely in that tenth, has him missing and running and Watson pressing him for the finish

The ropes held Eubank up at one point in the round son
