Notes

  • Eubank down in the 8th.
  • Collins down in the 10th
  • Before the bout, Collins claimed he had been hypnotized into thinking he was invincible, but admitted it was an elaborate hoax after his victory.
  • Collins down another time in the fight but the referee mistakenly didn't count it as a knockdown.
  • Highly controversial decision.
