Say what you like Nigel Benn is a warrior when ever he fought you knew what you were going to get a fight. That's what boxing is a fight with some rules.
Great quotes from Nigel Benn I love watching in box as he was the best in my personal opinion. But it's unbelievable what be Italians were trying to do because they could see Nigel Ben was about to knock the Italian out who was not even a true world champion in my book. He refused to give the belt up and didn't even come over to Nigel Benn to congratulate him properly .He only done it briefly when he was lifted up when Nigel was at the same time when he thought he was Keeping up about disgusting behaviour.
The last thing you want to be without when you've got Nigel Benn in the opposite corner is punching power. That's the only way you'll get his respect. I think Galvano did better in the rematch in England but still lost on points. At least he proved he had durability in that one. Benn's power at Super Middle was still awesome, but slightly down on his Middleweight days. Benn vs Calzaghe would have been a great fight, but they peaked at different times so it was never going to happen. Thanks for uploading.
@@FantasyandScienceFiction football! Serie A is where all this rolling on the floor started. F1! Ferrari! Say no more!! Only have to go back to 2019 when they had an illegal engine. Boxing! This fight (or mawling) WW2 jumping ship as soon as the Axis powers were on the back foot! Should I go on?
Barry Hearn wasn't having it at all, the Italians tried to pull a fast one. Barry saw the script, ripped it up and reverted the script back to its original form. Great performance by Benn aswell though he sunk in some beautiful uppercuts.
its a remarkable testament to the ability of Italians to grease palms that this fraud was ever able to be World Champ. Truly the most prodigious cuddler in boxing history
I don't know why but very few Italians have any punching power most are stick and run fighter's like galvano or hit and hold fighter's like Gianfranco rosi the human octopus
I remember watching this with my dad. The Italians tried all the tricks and in those days, you needed a knock out in Italy. I'm glad common sense prevailed.
What are you on about? He doesn't sound like anyone from either of those bands. He had an English accent, yes, because he was English. That's about as much he has in common with The Clash or Oasis. By the way, it's "should have" not "of", you sound like a common English yobbo.
Do you know anything about Galvano? He's the dodgyiest, dirtiest, crettin ever to call himself a professional. He doesn't exactly use the Queensbuery rules himself does he?
What the fuck are you talking about galvano was known as the dirtiest fighter in the division and his team paid off the officials, when Kirkland laing fought him some of the rounds were nearly 5 minutes long because the Italians knew that at laings age he would tire.
Did Benn bend the rules occasionally? Yes he did. The same could be said for every boxer who laced up a pair of boxing gloves. It's a physical sport. When it comes to ruthless methodical and sinister cheating, there's no one dirtier than Galvano. He would lean all over you with his weight, excessive holding and holding at the back of the head, using his elbows and head as a weapon, known to bite, low blows, hitting after the bell and on the break, and try to manipulate the referee to deduct points. He knew all the dirty tricks and referee blind side. When you're one of the biggest punchers in British boxing history, you don't have to cheat. Throughout Benn's career, his talent, combos, work rate and deadly right hand did the talking
@@Aerojet01 If even his biggest fans are admitting he "may have bent the rules a little bit", he's a fucking cheater. There's a ton of fights where he was allowed to do things that would've gotten most fighters DQ'd. He wasn't on the level of Tyson --- who would've been blackbarred -- if he wasn't a money machine, but he was as dirty as mud - and - got stood up to -- by a lot bums -- in fair fights. He was tied up -- going into the championship rounds -- with Nicky Piper (who?); he went the distance -- against 7-9-1 Jorge Amparo --- who had gone 1-3 -- in his last 4; got a split-decision -- against Sanderline Williams --- who had gone 2-5 -- in his last 7. If Nigel Benn hadn't picked up a few belts and been one of the UK's handful of fighters - who - could get a win against world-class fighters -- regardless of the means - he would've been fined and shit on.
@@williamsmith1803 No it isn’t. What has Tyson got to do with Benn?. Your argument doesn't make any sense. If my memory serves me well, didn’t Tyson bite someone’s ear? I like the way you cherry-pick from Benn’s CV and ignore all his big good wins. Its butt hurt fanboys like you trying to manipulate everyone to believe in your bullshit because he beat one or two of your favourite fighters and as a result, you hold a lifetime grudge. Also, I like the way you completely ignore Galvano cheating antics and focus purely on Benn. Get a life.
