	- Behind on all scorecards, Eubank mounted a comeback in Round 10 to protect his unbeaten record. Putting Watson under severe pressure for the first time in the fight, he simply could not take advantage though. Watson, after soaking up a desperate attack, had Eubank on the canvas with a short right near the end of round 11, mainly down to Eubank's exhaustion. The referee did not give a mandatory count, so as Eubank rose from the canvas and the boxers fought on, Eubank threw an uppercut which sent Watson crashing backwards into the ropes for a knockdown. The bell rang as Watson rose, looking to be in no state to continue, as he was ushered back to his corner.<br>		- Behind on all scorecards, Eubank mounted a comeback in Round 10 to protect his unbeaten record.

	- Though he never admitted as much, this fight ended Chris Eubank's time as a great fighter. From that day on, whenever called to raise his game or 'pull the trigger' he ducked the issue, sometimes visibly. Even in his last two fights with the naturally much heavier Carl Thompson, Eubank was reluctant to go full out when he had his opponent hurt. This is not a judgement of Eubank, as it would be barbaric to judge anybody so, but it is nonetheless true.
