What a moron

Thing this actually happend in the UK. I am sure I have seen it on "Boxing Bedlam" with Harry Carpenter. The guy filming it was Steve Holdsworth with his commentary on Boxing Bedlam.

I liked his exit from the ring more

Going back a few years, When Eubank fought Rocchigiani in Germany was a great ring entrance. He had already been winding up the german public by prancing around Berlin in his riding boots and Jodphurs.
Then at fight time he came into the ring in full pomp, giving it loads in the walk down to the ring, and posing on the ring apron looking out into the crowd...Class. He also gave one of his best displays of boxing that night.

Thats Chuks Obedaniel, absolute lunatic. He done that trick at all his fights just to get noticed! Last I heard he was still safely locked away..

Eubank looking out on 8,000 German Skinheads was classic.

He was fabulous that night.

Some people make the case that Rocchi was unlucky. I felt Eubank was shoeshining on Rocky's gloves a lot, and that Rocky was the more accurate & finished better. Rocky's fault ultimately, because he started so slow, but as the fight wore on he seemed to have more method & purpose to his work.

Rocky's a legend - he got the better of Eubank, Michaelczewski (1st fight), Maske (1st fight) you can make the case, & Nunn, who had nightmares with Rocchi's guard. Rocchi did the Winky defense before Winky.
