Tough opponent was Tony Thornton. James Toney's words in the Ring magazine the Best I've Faced - "I thought I was gonna knock him out easy. He was squared up with his chin right there for me to hit but I hit him with every punch I had and he wouldn’t budge. I hit him with my best left hook and he didn’t blink." RIP Tony Thornton.
@@tonyshortland8812 to be honest haven’t seen it all the way through for years. But i do remember watching some of eubanks fights live at the time and thinking he had lost.
I had Eubank winning 4 maybe scraping 5 rounds max. Thornton had a solid guard and was dishing out hard punches as well as consistently jabbing Eubank whilst Eubank was backing off.
would love to see him fight canelo see if he could pull that shit off with him canelo's gonna make him see the angels in heaven st peter n all the rest of them
Not a bad win for a guy who was circumcised a few days before with no anesthetic! No wonder he wore red shorts. 2024 correction: I was wrong, the circumcision was a few months later just before the Ray Close 1 fight. My bad! 53:03 Baz Hearn: "JAB, JAB!!!" Funny.
Commentator said Thornton told him, "If I hadn't watched the tape (VHS), I would have been in for a lot surprises". Maybe ITV gave it to the postman they flew over. No wonder Eubank had 8 defences in 18 months.
Eubank proved what a characterless athlete she is by hitting the opponent with the palm of her hand many times.I never liked this characterless eubank for these reasons, he is a disgrace in the boxers world.
that's what happens it's bullshit look at jeff horn vs manny horn won but that's because he was the homeboy but horn really lost he knew it n so did all the rest of the world
I had Eubank winning the first 4 rounds, the 9th and the 10th. All clearly. Why not run in the last two when you can't lose and are the biggest draw in the game regardless.
Please don't conduct boxing with this kind of decision .. Ebunk was have marathon running in the ring .. Stupid decision .. you think viewers are blind
I was blessed to be a stablemate of Tony's great guy true warrior r.i.p toney Thornton
That's so nice

Thornton was very underrated just because he was a postman. 3 world title shots were no fluke. A real nice chap. RIP

ah the 'underrated' fetish simply never, ever fails...jesus...
The Punching Postman was no pushover. He seemed like a very down to earth guy and well spoken. RIP Tony Thornton
We had some great boxer's back in the 90s
Rest in peace 🙏 Thornton !!
Another gifted decision to Eubank. During his reign he had a few hometown decisions.
Did you think Tony won this fight?

Yeah I agree, eubanks was rather lucky to escape with a win again, he looked very relieved at the end of this fight
Looks like Carlton Leach sneaks into the ring at 57,14. Looks a right mug in that mullet :-)
commentators know this was a fixed fight and agreed verdict, nothing of Eubanks got thru until the 9th round.
Thornton.... the most dangerous man ever to wear a skirt in Europe!!!
lol at ITVsport cutting his interview at the end short, let the man talk.
pretty good for a mailman
Sangat menghibur.
i didn't know that you win championship belts by running around the ring
Eubank thinks it's come dancing! All that running round the ring etc lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅
How many title defences did Jim the mouthpiece have ?
Whot year was this fight please ?
1992, September
@@jamesbondiv4072 Thank you
If it was two unknown fighters and I feel Thornton could well have walked out the winner,but politics...
Ini bisa menang dapat nilai dari mana?
would love to see him fight canelo see if he could pull that shit off with him canelo's gonna make him see the angels in heaven st peter n all the rest of them
hey buddy this was 1992 🥺
@@limbolink5879 Lol. I think canelo and Eubank Sr are not going to share a ring anytime soon.🤣🤣
This version of Eubank Sr would knock the wee ginger spark out. Canelo most likely wouldn't go near him anyway if we had a time machine 😉

53:03 Baz Hearn: "JAB, JAB!!!" Funny.
What? Who? When?
@@incredibleXMan It's true mate! It's in his book & Baz Hearn has told the story too.
Red boxer is loose no complain

Eubank said if he hadn't watched the tape of Thornton then he'd be in for a lot of surprises, get it right.
@@leescammell9988 Thornton gave him one of his toughest fights

Thornton was game but, Eubank was a different level of good
Thornton had Eubank running literally
Eubank ran all 12 rounds. Thornton got robbed. Of course they were gonna give it to the local. Rest in peace postman.

I agree, Thornton backed him up all fight and I had him winning it comfortably
Thornton was robbed

Thornton was the better boxer
Please don't conduct boxing with this kind of decision .. Ebunk was have marathon running in the ring .. Stupid decision .. you think viewers are blind
Absolutely right...
Eubank slightly overrated in my opinion...
Eubanks was a BUM
Im sorry Eubank was awful!! Fair enough he beat Benn but his legacy is miles behind Benn,s.
My ass!
I have to disagree. Eubank beat Benns opponents much more convincingly than Benn. Watson, Wharton and Malinga?
Thornton won this fight. Eubanks was missing, sloppy, and running. People are blind, greedy, and stupid.
Eubank was overrated.
And so many of his fights were boring.
