Eubank a Light heavyweight in the with a small Heavyweight. Gotta give it to Eubank. Had the big bollox

[@Roo986]

Tough as teak these men.

[@andybigchief]

He was one tough guy Carl just when you thought he was beat he’d always battle back and win

[@TheSimpleSoldier1]

Visual size difference is clearly apparent. Eubank got the
bottle

[@devilfacedjedi]

Towards the end of Eubanks career he struggled with making super middleweight - 12st7 (I think). I always felt he should of stepped up to light heavy and I think he would of dominated again. Cruiserweight was maybe too big but my god he was an absolute warrior!!

What a fucking fight

[@andybigchief]

This was the tough era ,not the shite we got now

[@justicereplacedbyrevenge]

Carl "the cat" Thompson was a great fighter, bit of a banger 👌 he was originally a Muay Thai fighter under the great Master Sken.

[@TheSimpleSoldier1]

Yeah i remember Master sken back in the 90's. not associated but i remember Alfie Lewis too a good kickboxer.

Thank you for sharing the info. The cat could test your chin, for sure.

[@trevorcattouse2452]

Just brilliant 👏 ❤

[@BijouBakson]

What a war!!! Based on this highlight I give it to Eubanks. But of course I'd have to watch the full fight to make an unbiased decision.

[@frankduffy2413]

Carl was incredible

[@oman9492]

They really don't make them like this anymore. Eubank jr one decent punch and his tripping all over the ring.

[@vantheman1238]

Chris stood off from truly hurting Thompson. We know why Chris did that.

[@lukebullen705]

Remarkable the fitness Thompson had for such a big man

[@EyeMixMusic]

What a strange fighter Thompson was. He looked so clumsy, easy to hit, easy to hurt...but he had an uncanny habit of luring better boxers away from their 'A' game, and into the trenches where he could grind them down.

[@emiliox210]

Really good fight unknown I think too many. Could you upload some southpaw vs orthodox fights?

[@crazykocounters4741]

Sure

[@UntouchableBreakdowns]

Been gone for over a month mate, hope everything’s good 👍

[@paulembleton3087]

Ebank was one he'll of a fighter 100 percent worrior

[@stephenmacdonald4443]

Eubank had lost his killer instinct , if he had follewed up a couple of times he could of ended the fight
