Respect to him for telling his son to ease off landing punches to his opponent's face last weekend and calling for the referee to call time on the bout well before he did. The legacy of his bout with Michael Watson all those years ago has clearly left its mark on Eubank Senior.
I suspect that most of the viewing public wanted more blood and damaging blows. Too many boxing fans seem to feel short changed when there isn't a knock out.

Chris Eubank is a strange one, he used to drive his Aston Martin convertible through the council estate I grew up in just so the poorer people could see it (basically his description not mine) . He also used to logjam Brighton's historic lanes with his big american truck which didn't really fit through the narrow streets.
Angela Rippon was the star turn at a conference I went to a few years back, Jesus she didn't shut up about herself, she could have told some stories about other 'entertainers' of the 70's but that would have stolen important seconds away from talking about herself. A very painful 30 mins Zzzz
Sinetta (oh Simon I still
Love you, if you'll put me on TV)
Sara Cox. Thread over...
If internet folklore is to believed (in particular, comments from flight crews), the absolute undisputed World Champion was... Cilla Black
^^^ Language please.
Anyway, this is the new ppl you happily slap thread and I claim my five pounds. Oh and the undisputed Lewis c.womble Hamilton :)

I'd edit that post pdq, classics.
All judges on that awful 'the voice'.
I nominate Sir Clive Woodward, Bono and Bob Geldof.
A couple of years ago an American friend of mine was at a fancy party in the US and she met
an Englishman who she said was a complete ars#ehole- when she walked off she said to a
mate 'who was that?' -and it was James Corden. Apparently he seemed offended she did not know
he was 'famous' .
