Mofo2 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Chris Eubank has admitted he should have lost his Judgement Day rematch with Nigel Benn.The two British super-middleweights fought out a famous draw at Old Trafford in October 1993 in front of a worldwide audience.Eubank controversially kept his WBC belt but speaking 20 years after the showdown, the 47-year-old said the Dark Destroyer deserved to win.“Five hundred million people watched that fight,†Eubank told ITV4’s Sports Life Stories.“You could say that there was still a psychological game going on. I had him where I wanted him. That’s what I thought.“Benn was on his game for that second fight, he was on his game. I could not pin him down, I was hitting everything but him. The oxygen, but not him."Even though he hit me low and lost a point, he still did enough to win the fight. And a fighter knows.â€Eubank also claimed he only won the affection of the British boxing public when he started to lose late in his career.“This was in ‘98. In ‘91 didn’t I show this heart? But you only recognised it when I lost. Strange, but wonderful.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
