The atmosphere for the Benn Vs McClellan fight makes the hairs on my neck stand up! DONG.. DONG.. Nigel's Big Benn clock chimes to come to the ring of gladiators is just scary! Then that first round was insane!! Two absolute savage warriors, big Frank Bruno at the ringside in the red suit going crazy when Nigel would land a great shot, it looked on TV incredible! I think the American press thought it was a formality especially as Gerald had KO'd Julian Jackson in 1 round and won his last 22 fights and was a 1-3 favorite at the bookies. But they forgot about the ferocity of NB especially when he gets hurt.
I was just a kid at the other end of England watching it with my pals, we were around 20yo and for me it was a golden age of British boxing. Nigel, Eubank, Prince Naseem, Lennox Lewis etc, there seemed to be a unreal fight on every couple of weeks!
I went clubbing one weekend (or raving) with my pals to a brilliant little nightclub in Burnley, Angels was the nightclub and who was DJ'in for about 3 hours one night? Only my hero Nigel Benn!!… Crazy days, what a time!
iirc Ray Mancini was never the same after the Kim fight.
he was consoled and forgiven by Kim's son.
you dont play boxing
I honestly thought Ray Mercer was going to kill Tommy that day. that was 100% scary

The only thing I don’t like about the show is when they watch video they make the screen so small. We want to see what you are talking about
