Hi Franny, a Collins fan here from Ireland, who saw him many times, including the Eubank 2nd fight. Your absolutely right about these Guys, 2 Awesome Fighters and to see them live, must have been some experience, as being there is just so different, you can feel the hair raising on the back of your neck. I also got to see Tyson fighting, MEN Arena, February 2000 V Francis, the fight itself wasn't great as it was short-lived but the Undercard was tasty with Hatton, Takaloo, Gomez and Calzaghe all in there. Calzaghe fought Starie here and in all honesty, it was a terrible fight with lots of booing, I felt sorry for Joe, he fought to win, Starie fought to survive. Much and all as I like Collins and Calzaghe, I'd sooner watch Benn's fights any day. All the best, take care.
@francishegarty80873 жыл бұрын
Just to add Franny Darko, while all these Guys, Benn, Eubank and Collins were fighting each other, they were filling out indoor Venues with capacities of 22K plus, and Football Stadiums with 25K, Collins V Eubank 2 and almost 50K for Benn V Eubank 2. Jones couldn't even dream of getting these sorts of Crowds, he fought many times in Venues which held less than 10K, and couldn't even sell it out, in his own Home Town. His return with Griffin in 97, was switched from Atlantic City, where the 1st fight took place and had a Capacity of 14K, to a Bingo Hall in Connecticut, which had a Measly Top Capacity of just 4 and a half Thousand fans, so much for his popularity. As Collins said mid 90s, while pleading for a fight with him, " Jones couldn't attract flies" and he was right. He should have got himself over to the UK or Ireland and fought in Venues with upwards of 40K plus, easily, and would have loved to see if he could handle these Guys as easily as he was beating up on Mandatories and lesser Class Guys. Sorry for the rant mate, all the best.

I remember watching one of there fights on video at Aughnacloy. Good bloke George like. At the end of the Inter-Company boxing competition, there used to be a xtra fight, a lad came over to Ireland to fight Nigel, it got stopped after about 30 seconds. I was in X Coy, 4 Plt.

Much and all as I like Collins and Calzaghe, I'd sooner watch Benn's fights any day. All the best, take care.
Just to add Franny Darko, while all these Guys, Benn, Eubank and Collins were fighting each other, they were filling out indoor Venues with capacities of 22K plus, and Football Stadiums with 25K, Collins V Eubank 2 and almost 50K for Benn V Eubank 2. Jones couldn't even dream of getting these sorts of Crowds, he fought many times in Venues which held less than 10K, and couldn't even sell it out, in his own Home Town. His return with Griffin in 97, was switched from Atlantic City, where the 1st fight took place and had a Capacity of 14K, to a Bingo Hall in Connecticut, which had a Measly Top Capacity of just 4 and a half Thousand fans, so much for his popularity. As Collins said mid 90s, while pleading for a fight with him, " Jones couldn't attract flies" and he was right. He should have got himself over to the UK or Ireland and fought in Venues with upwards of 40K plus, easily, and would have loved to see if he could handle these Guys as easily as he was beating up on Mandatories and lesser Class Guys. Sorry for the rant mate, all the best.
The mutual respect after the fight is beautiful
What a fight. 2 of the greatest fighters we have ever had in this country. 2 warriors.
Classic fight. One the best ten in history.
I served in the same Battalion as Nigel Benn, 1 RRF. He had a few fights with a lad called George Jay, George was the combined services Light Heavyweight champion. I remember watching one of there fights on video at Aughnacloy. Good bloke George like. At the end of the Inter-Company boxing competition, there used to be a xtra fight, a lad came over to Ireland to fight Nigel, it got stopped after about 30 seconds. I was in X Coy, 4 Plt.
This was an amazing era of world class boxing, it was a pleasure and an honour to have seen these fighters ………………….in 2022 we have ‘the dosser’. 🤦🏻♂️
ambassadors to boxing 👍
so much faster, more entertaining, and better than anything you see nowadays in that division
What a fight! Unbelievable barrage of hard punches thrown by both fighters and yet they just kept on going. Absolutely incredible.
the talk after the fight……. awesome and true.powerful.
Long time we don't see too absolutely ferocious fighters go a it like these two men did it back in the day.
A brutal and brilliant fight…Chris was so exhausted after that fight that apparently his trainer Ronnie Davies had to physically lift him into a shower the morning after..
Hard men these two grew up watching them
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Those killer upper cuts from Eubank still shock me today. Great boxing from a bygone era !!!
This is gotta be one of the best fights from the 90s
That moment between the referee and Benn just after the referee called the fight. 💔
damn that was magnanimous of Benn at the end of the fight.
Wow! What a boxing masterpiece.
What a fight both legends
Great sportsmanship between both guys. 2/10/24 and still a classic
The days when you could still see a fight live on council telly.
They edited out Nigel Benn saying “I hate him” that was what made this rivalry, you could feel the hate from Benn
your spot on, it piled the pressure about the match
This fight between Simply the best Eubank & the Dark Destroyer Benn brings me back to my Youth🙂👍🥊
2 amazing fighters you don’t see the like that often hats off to both
This is just quality …British boxing at its best …to hear them after the fight proper respecting each other ….just a shame you don’t get fights like this anymore that often, to much politics and red tape gets in the way of a proper tear up
What respect shown to each other after this fight. What I love about boxing.
What a Tough Fight!! They both put in gr8t work!!! Respect!!
That fight shouldn’t have being stopped!! Should have let it roll
Up there with the greatest boxing rivalries of all time
wow amazing fight
A lot of respect given between the two good stuff
Haha great these 2 boxers entertaining miss these days British boxing hope fury v joshua will have fights like this
This is amazing
2 real Fighters. 2 Legends.
back in the days when they would go all out and not give a shit about winning defensive on points.
British boxings best jaw...chris eubank...
And now all these years later their sons are gonna go at it. Crazy
Both great fighters and a very close match. I gotta say Chris had a lot of balls trading blows with Nigel up close and personal. Could have easily been knocked out since he did get knock down. But larger risk equal larger reward and Eubank got that reward.
That right at 2.40. My lord. Love these two fighters.
They beat the respect into each other that night! .........Warriors.............
Fight for survival ! Two legends.
Love the respect. They went at it and showed respect. Fights like these they knew it took years off their fighting lives
Imagine they if was heavyweights
@@realnesx gassed after two rounds
Two gentlemen and excellent examples of the sport of boxing, good health ❤
I remember seeing Chris eubank in selfridges oxford street few years ago now and went to shake his hand and even then his hand felt like stone I can tell you Benn would of felt every single blow given by eubanks I'm sure same was for Benn to eubanks both true warriors!!!!
Still get shivers watching this..brutal fight
What a show of great respect at the end.
Unique style, whipping punches, you throw with momentum !
There was real hatred between the two back but showed mutual respect after the fight, one of the most brutal and violent fights in a long time.. Ben was a big puncher but Eubanks had a iron chin, even up a cruiserweight he took Carl Thompson’ best shots and didn’t budge!! Bought fought each other in their prime.. which hardly happens nowadays..two of the best British fighters of all time, both completely different in fighting styles which made for an exciting fight..
i saw this fight on t v in a pub couldnt believe it !!!!
Eubank did not get his just Due. This man was a bad man.
I watched the whole fight then had to watch the highlights
