    I remember that Eubank really wanted this one immediately after Jackson destroyed Herol Graham. I think Eubank takes him AND by KO.

    Sadly I agree. Eubank stops him late.

    Eubank was failry slippery but not impossible to hit either. Plus he had a good chin to back him up when punches got through.

    Julian has a puncher's chance as always, but Eubank's skills and toughness pretty much negate it.

    Eubank had a GREAT chin...

    Jackson was a lot better than some made him out IMO- he had that phenomenal single shot power but he also had decent movement and some good boxing skills. He just seems to get the whole 'great punch and nought else' from the Graham fight where Graham basically played with him for 11 minutes before having a sleep for the same period of time :doh:

    That said, Eubank was a tough b'tard, and IMO the Eubank fighting before the second Watson fight gives any 160/168 fighter a tough time with his quick hands, powerful right hand and granite chin.

    Pre watson II, Eubank KO8-10
    Post Watson II, Eubank clear UD
