  • @liverpoolscottish6430

    Great boxing from both men. Nicky Piper- what a gutsy performance, it was obvious Nigel respected him. Fighting Nigel Benn must have been a nightmare- you would know that you are going to have to face and stand up to relentless, unceasing pressure and aggression. You can tell Nigel Benn served in the infantry, which imbues an aggression and determination to win in those who have experienced it. He was the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of the boxing world- always took the fight to his opponent with relentless tenacity and aggression. He was always extremely dangerous- especially when hurt he would just double down and go all out. RESPECT to both fighters here- a great watch!

    Benns power was not as good as it was at middleweight,he looked not as powerful but thats no disrespect to Piper,Benn did produce later on but he did seem to struggle during the fight at this weight.Piper could have knocked Benn out,he had the power to do it.

    • @Aerojet01
      @Aerojet01 Před 8 měsíci

      I agree. Benn was never the same force at super and piper was suited to light heavy which balanced things out a bit. However, around that time in Benn's career, his defensive skills had improved since his loss to Eubank and when he was hit with a decent shot, he knew how to hold on and regroup. I know Jim Watt was harsh with Benn in this fight, but the majority of Piper's shots weren't landing that cleanly, which was credit to Benn's ability to evade and ride the shots as he was coming in and then quickly switch to the body and throw the upper cuts as the taller man leant forward. I think the plan was to wear him down to he body and than take him out with head shots in the later rounds when his hands had come down a bit. Piper gave a good account of himself and held his own, but lacked world class technical ability to cause Benn any serious problems.

    When boxers fought each other to see who was the best. Unlike now when all that matters is how much money they get.
    Also the days when Jim Watt- a rubbish fighter, gave even worse commentary.
