#boxing #slugfest #chriseubank #carlthompson #eubankvsthompson July 18th, 1998, Chris Eubank takes on Carl "The Cat" Thompson for the WBO Cruiserweight title
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 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.
Eubank was a tough guy. He had a head like concrete and the heart of a lion and the other lad was big , strong & resilient. Eubank was never the same after the Watson fight. Both of these lads are warriors and great respect to both of them. 👍👍👍
