    After Watson, Benn developed more heart than displayed that night, I love the chap, don't see how anyone couldn't?, ..but he took a dive in that Watson fight, sadly, but oh my sweet dear god did he make up for it in the course of the rest of his career,..:eeeek: ,...:bears: Yes Nige, yes, yes.

    Yet still nowhere near as gay, annoying or high pitched as aussie accents.

    Aussie accents and the german language hurts my brain.

    I'll have to watch it again on the pc,.. but I remember thinking,... "Aww bullshit that wasn't very hard"... the rest of Benn's career confirms that he could have continued easily... I think at that time young Nigel was something like 20 - 0 .. 20ko's ?... It looked like he just blew his load, then gave up :doh: .

    22-0 (22kos).

    LATINKING'S conqueror saad agrees with you that Benn took a dive.

    :lol: Yeah, he doesn't want anymore of Saad, that was brutal.

    "Ooooookk You didnt win shit! I pm'ed Jose and got another copy for half price!"

    It was a charity auction where the proceeds went to a dead boxers family,..lol :lol: Latinking's the man.

    Scarred for life...



    And by the way, Benn quit against Watson. I've been telling Gatti this for years now. Now he posts the proof himself and is still in denial. :rolleyes:

    He jumped up at ten seconds, not eight. Watch the timer on the video, from as soon as he hits the canvas.

    England accents are reverred and respected the world over. The British accent is classic.

    Whether it's the queen, a yorkshireman, or Ali G, the British accent is truly grade A.

    The aussie accent on the other hand is a joke, and nothing more than a source of amusement.

    Giday mite, yeeh, yeeh, rite, yeeh, gday mite, nice wives mite, yeeh.

    It's the accent of heathens, spawned by British criminals.

    Brings back the memories! :bears: Can't believe this fight was some 17 years ago. :eeeek:

    I wanted Eubank beaten so badly I could taste it. I didn't want to speak to anyone for a week after Eubank stopped him! :doh:

    Benn didn't quit in the watson fight. :nono:

    He punched himself out by the 6th round after a ridiculous and slopy early pace (just hitting Watson's gloves). Plus he was the victim of a short count (he was only on the canvas for about 6 seconds when the ref reached the count of 10...and he was on his feet).

    He seemed to give up after he got thumbed in the eye, then decided to have one final slog. He got hit with a pretty weak lookin' hook and just voluntarily helped himself lean backwards onto the canvas, the ref's count may have been a little quick, but Benn looked RELIEVED that it had been stopped, his legs were fine, and he didnt protest whatsoever.

    He definitely quit, he pulled an "Ali" or a "Zoo" or whatever its called.

    Yeah, I don't understand why saad hates Benn so much. Benn was awesome. :bears:

    I don't hate him. I just don't understand why the 5th best middleweight in England in his own time is celebrated so much.

    Yeah, I have my profile set to e-mail me anytime somebody starts spreading the Nigel Benn propaganda.
