what you're about to see here now is me Chris iank fighting Nigel Ben this fight took place in 1990 the 18th of November I had trained 7 years to get to this position to fight him for this WBO World middleweight championship and everything was on the line and there is nothing he could have done to beat me this particular night I was so focused I hope you enjoy it that Focus was more of an obsession I was obsessed and that is what gave me distinction and allowed me to Victor in this particular fight now this
is my second approach to the ring my opponent's team they cut my music Barry her got upset went back to the changing rooms took us back to the changing rooms he said what do you want to do Chris I said it will have no bearing on the fight them cutting my music I need to fight this man I only can prove what I can do in the ring he Shrugged his shoulders incable of course so we walked back out and here I am now ready to do the act the Real ACT I mean 96% of
the audience were against me now the music Nal B Men start leading him out now all of this is I'm prepared for it it's called intimidation the atmosphere is intimidating um you know the men and women who are there who are against me are intimidating but all of that is something that I was using for fuel I always did uh because it wasn't fair there was no justice to it I don't I didn't understand why people didn't like me I was pure I was doing what I was supposed to do and I also couldn't understand
why everyone was so Pro my everybody's standing up now everybody wants to get a glimpse of the fighters entering the ring and uh I mean the atmosphere is I mean at this point I can see particular people like Ian Wright here is a fellow in the yellow Paul Gasco and I can see them looking in the ring they're not looking at Ben's entrance because I'm doing something in the ring which is a little bit unusual I am stuck still I don't move we can see totally um and this is all kind of preparation for what
is about to happen uh but unusual in as much as I wasn't flailing getting up running around throwing punches just I stood stuck still the base notes are so strong they're shaking the NC I kid you not there comes the belt the WBO Championship Bel Ambrose meny I mean this entrance is just incredible and what is also incredible is the fact that the director of this production did not actually show me in the ring standing so concentrated and so focused um because Nigel was such a huge star at this time [Music] huge meanwhile back in
the ring new bank has not moved a muscle since getting in he does this you know as part of self-control he said very few Fighters can get in the ring and stand absolutely static it's all part of his temperament and control and he looks magnificent he need it Jim he need it tonight I tell you he need it tonight I'm telling you defitely a big n for I tell you it's all or nothing then's going to come back like a wild tiger so seven years of preparation is why I stood stock still that if anything
I was going to unzip this man I was going to actually let him know by my um Persona by my attitude by the way I moved by how still I was that you know I am not intimidated by you you are going to have to beat me by way of device you know you're not going to do it on intimidation which is how he beat many of his opponents as did I I beat many of my opponents uh by attitude and uh and one upmanship in terms of mindset but I was letting him know that
you're going to be fighting a man I'm not fighting your uh Persona and your reputation you're going to be fighting me and I'm going to be fighting you and I'm trained and I know I'm trained and I'm prepared to go through not almost everything everything I'm willing to give my life and that's how intense it was for me this was about honor s years of as I say no friends solitude no life just in the gym Blood Sweat and Tears and so my life was on the line he would have to take it in order
to beat me and that's how intense that's how intense it was in my head the world outside of my head didn't exist the only thing that existed was actually not allowing this man to hit me with a shot that would actually uh leave me paralyzed for 10 seconds it's this type of focus that wins anyone what they focus on your for the contest is the rich steel of Las Vegas and your time keeper Harry foxel of stoke on tra ladies and gentlemen presenting and introducing to you in the blue corner with the white and the
red shots with 24 wings with 24 contest inside the distance the Challenger for the ti the tapping of the [Music] gloves calm unusually calm to bow to my opponent and the a would you believe there's a butterfly fluttering around in the ring that's weird and that butterfly that uh the commentator speaks of there actually flew over to me that's a butterfly in November um pretty odd but there is something in that maybe an omen the dark destroyer the world champion this is where the ha stops at this point he's knocked out every one of his
opponents within uh two grounds at one point you can see my leg here my right leg shaking and I have to keep on moving Ladi in order to not show that I'm shaking because I am petrified um but that's what courage is it's actually moving and going forward in the face of adversity uh moving even when you are fearful won't any of Ambrose meny to the right hand side looking at me at that point he probably could see that there's no way he's going to beat me and at that point when he hits my glove
it was so heavy it was frightening but again intimidation nothing was going to intimidate me scheduled for 12 rounds this is the main event now I'm looking to actually come out backwards and hit him with a a right hand which is actually covered by me coming out um with my right hand shielded by my body learn experience against Watson will he go in and all I needed was like one or two or three tricks just to get me going once you get going one can go into automatic Pilots you actually do them what you've been
practicing but this was my focus well as you said bar the hyp is over it's time for the fighting the champ and the challenge round one here we go now the idea is get your shots off do not wait do not wait to see what he has do not feel him out make sure you can land your shots and do not pay him any respect although one had to because of his ability to punch it was uh exceptional and so therefore the idea was to get the respect immediately no messing about here no fancy boxing
it's just slam bang well we've yet to Really Ever discover whether Eubank can take a shot tonight we will find out if he can we certainly will one of the aspects of my ability which always stood me good stead was my ability to move backwards and always be able to move in such a way where I couldn't be hit because I was moving back also watching the punches were coming actually Landing my own shots before he got his off definitely hurt Ben with that right hand but you got to keep his hands up that's when
Ben's had his most dangers now you know you can see him moving forward all the time now that is taste setting so there's no room to relax so is to hit and move hit and move continuously without actually getting involved in the toe Toto um slugging match because that's where he would have the upper hand what so the idea is to hit and don't get hit although obviously I got hit is GR in confidence he's got to keep those hands up because of Ben you'll know all about it well Ben's two World title victories against
iron Barkley dug the win against Fighters arguably pass their best EU bankers and that's for sure and any flaws that Eubank can find in bent you can bet your life would be ruthlessly exposed in that he's coming forward and in that he's pressing that is setting a very high Pace he's always looking to engage so by at this at this particular point in time he has to respect me cuz I've hit with very hard shots um I'm always kind of at arms length so I'm always actually catching him with my jab I'm surprised at Ben
he he's just coming loading up with every shot he's not trying to box not trying a job he's just coming in there walking straight in Slam bang every punch is a punch he hasn't so you know his attitude is to actually force me out of the fight by breaking my spirit early but I'm ready for him which is why I'm on my back spot I'm moving backwards he's he's running into the shots keep your on this is going be oh right now right there my goodness um he's just actually picked me up and at that
point I thought to myself why would you do that when I was about 16 years old I was told whenever someone has you in a position where you're underneath them never force your way up because you do that and you you discharge all of your energy so when he lifted me up there I thought to myself this guy doesn't know what he's doing he hasn't been taught of the first round definitely the challeng is round now as you can see there you know I actually move way and turn my back to him because he was
always looking to actually confront with me before the fight and I always did that which was to actually give him my back uh which you can see in interviews uh beforehand um so at this point I'm walking around the ring acting as though I've won the round and that I'm going to beat this guy but that's all theater that's what they refer to as MLP neurolinguistic I'm trying to program the minds of the judges and him if he can see me actually walking around being all cool acting as though I own this this position um
it's all about getting it into the minds of the public the judges and himself that I am Superior to him and it is all a game it is all um a performance it is all theater as well as the realness of the punches now here we have the second round now here you can see I'm going to actually see whether he does it again which is I hold him down and I want him to try and pick me up so you can discharge all that energy which you're not supposed to discharge you're supposed to actually
keep it and uh unleash it um when appropriate and at the time given a lot of Eubanks fights it's got a tendency to get caught and against a puncher like Ben that could be so so dangerous like this like that yes and the point of fact is this I can take a shot but I'm not a fool I'm not a person who thinks I can take a shot and so I will and I'll prove that I can and I'll be I'll show that Bravada no the idea is I can take them but I don't want
to because they do take their toll so here you see me um leveraging uppercuts looks to me as he want to walk right for anything and he does want to walk through but that is not going to happen because I learned I learned the craft I learned the art um you know this is all about boxing is all about um brinkmanship um bravado um it's all about intelligence it's it is chess it literally is chess but tonight he'll retire well you can believe that or not as the case may be but it just shows how
important this fight is in the mind of the champion good shot and all these shots are heavy shots I do punch light I punched to actually uh cause a reaction have an effect respect to me if you're in front of me you are going to get hurt if you don't Bob and weave and my my objective is to keep you back and tame you so here we are in the second round and the pace is electric this is too high a pace I'll be surprised if it does so right here he catches moveing overhand right
this is his best shot got any butterflies they haven't wasted my time getting that was the shot that was supposed to actually knock me out um but in proving that I could take that shot he must have known while he's in trouble here a split second he was in a little bit TR I was in a little bit of trouble I was in a lot of trouble and no trouble at all because I was prepared for it and firing back and then Shine the power to walk through at the moment and he's taking a leap
out of Michael Watson's book The Champ now at this point you know I have got to come back with something and here it comes the left hook he walk straight into it bang he buckles good let's go Ben out Ben yes he's hurt and now I go after him storing him Ben is in trouble and this is where now 14 million people in the United Kingdom are thinking to themselves Eubank is actually for real he's at his most dangerous now leg are G has got him this big trouble here this is it now what be
careful this is what I was saying all along Eubank is accurate gets some now looking him down telling him you know I am here and I am real so the start of the Third we watch him against we watch him against barley and he only you can see at one point here I wait a little bit too long him in that and these shots he's he's firing a full blooded shots Close Quarter um trying to hit me up the body but as you can see I've learned the craft I have my arms covering my elbows
covering my body don't you forget that now here is where I wait a little bit too long and he catches me with an overhand right and I I definite minority trying to get behind him a good right handau and in trouble but fights back and I fight back because that's all you can do this is some fight new Banks was hurt certainly hurt there then is no no question about Ben is an explosive hitter at short distance no jobs look there's no jobs here to it's just a complete War slam bang if we wondered whether
newbank could take a shot we're finding out tonight he's talking to Ben now taunting him someone hit [Applause] me well he answer the argument so far about his [Applause] chin good body shot by Eubank and the switch to the left to to the head again they switching from one to the other and they're both continuously and a war means you're not throwing Jabs you're actually just trading heavy punches not to say that I wanted to do that but you're forced into a fight sometimes but still I wanted to box and all the time I'm going
back it means I am um semi boxing when you're not boxing is when you're actually standing toe to two and trading you you Banks look the more looks the more tired of the two and now catch him here with a couple of uppercuts but Ben is low so he starts bringing over the right hooks heavy shots but now we are engaged now we are in a war man is lethal when he's hurt he's like a wounded Tiger but at the same time I'm trying to keep that distance I'm trying to tame him I'm trying to
keep him on the end of the jab so hit and cover up because once you hit then he's coming back with his right hand from left two two good job something's got to give these are bombs I'll tell you yes they were bums and all the time he's coming forwards I was taught very early in my career when you're going backwards and someone's coming forwards on top of you when he comes into your punches the punches are twice as hard so because he's actually forcing the pace right now he actually catches moving uppercut oh right
right hand but the idea is to always fire back because every time your opponent strikes you he's one point up so the idea is you have to come back and get your point now end of the third round I am completely exhausted and I'm thinking to myself if he keeps up this pace I'm going to have to stop because I can't keep it up and the fourth round now about to start I go into automatic pilot meaning that I'm no longer thinking about anything but survival instinctive survival because a piece is too high and the
pressure he has been putting me under is too much both as who wants it most as we were saying earlier well Ben's conditioning against eubank's conditioning the ability to take a punch round four coming up and both men have absorbed a bit a stick so far but EU Bank did look tired at the end of that round I'll tell you what both Fighters have put enough work in in the opening three rounds to L for 12 round contest tremendous at a particular point in this round I hit him with a right hand it's about a
minute into the round and it tames him and that right hand is coming up just about now where I look for position and he walks onto this big right hand and it's at that point where his eye begins to close so the punch is coming up right now so I walk him in he throw the shot and I hit him with the one two that right hand is that right hand is the right hand that closed his eye maybe two rounds from now it closes the line but at this point now I'm taking full advantage
of the fact that I did score that shot it did Buckle him and I was able to actually stamp my authority on the fight at this point even if it couldn't be seen by the judges and the audience I stamped it on him and the idea is to beat him F left eye closing swollen [Applause] she looking very puffy Chris Eubank cut about the mouth so when I say I'm on automatic pilot I don't know right now that pace has flow down just a little bit even though he's coming forward but now I've won his
respect so you can see that the pace has slowed slightly and slightly enough that I can stay in the fight because this was touch and go right the way through clusters about 15 30 seconds with activity now right here he catches me with an uppercut splits my tongue it splits a half inch gash in my tongue underneath my tongue hit me with a body shot here but the idea is you can never Telegraph that you're hurt now at this point I'm swallowing um I'm swallowing copious amounts of blood and I know I can't tell my
corner when I get back to the corner because blood curdles and you can choke this is a war but right now I'm swallowing blood and the pain what it's all about in my mouth is excruciating for the hold de life you took a big right hand there Dave bang on but Ben's eyes come up alarming Le yeah the left eye but the idea is try to not Telegraph that you are in disarray that you are in pain or that you are on the verge of actually stopping you can't Telegraph it because one of the most
powerful L I've learned um in boxing and I learned it at about 18 years old is this when you feel exhausted beaten and you want to quit remember your opponent feels exactly the same waying for the both guys are sh they can take each other's best shots we're going to take a break see at this point here you can see me turning going for a walk but in going for that walk he thinks he's going to the wrong corner and he actually starts walking back to my corner which means he is concuss and he is
confused now within that round I didn't tell Ronnie that I had this half inch gash underneath my tongue from the uppercut that he hit me with purely because he would have to tell a referee if he told the referee the referee would stop the fight uh blood does curdle and I was swallowing copious amount of it I'm back onto my boxing trying to keep the distance trying not to trade with him because trading makes it a 50/50 fight when I box I probably make it maybe 65 35 in my favor because I'm the better boxer
where he is the better fighter why make it 50/50 always keep him on the end of your jab always keep him at distance just pull him apart and let him get on with it again what a fight it's been fantastic we if there was a little in eubank's arm it would be the body shots and Michael Ben been exploiting that and he has hurt Eubank there was no doubt about that he's made CH question about that and I'm sure he's going to be told by Vic andred in the corner to go for his body but
the problem is he's coming forward he's leaving himself open but that right eye looks a bit of an alarm it's not cut it's just gresly swollen just a little slit and of course with Eubank bombing over the big right hands that puts the champ at an enormous disadvantage you look at this jab here making M making P but he's not actually throwing he's taking a rest and and and that jab you know don't think a jab is a light shot because a jab is like a ram rod that has your entire weight behind it when
you catch somebody like that and all of this is chipping away at the man's Spirit chip away until you break him is coming forward now himself he's taking the initiative well Eubank has taken some Ben's best shots and the ones around the head he's Pro he can take him the body shots to him of the of the danger you know obviously at this point I've been in the business for 7 years I've had 24 professional fights 24 I had never come across anyone who punches with the intensity with the power with the Sting with The
Dynamite that Ben had um but as I say this was not about anything other than honoring the seven years I'd given up so this I had to deal with but always being sensible always being objective never trade I'm always trying to keep away from him box do not stand on trade box but if you stand on trade then you know I can do with the best of them been a good UC for him he's been thinking thinking it true taking his time taking a rest and B has allowed him to get away with it see
I'm taming the pace by making him think and if I can make him think then I can tag him like I'm tagging him now he starts walking onto big shots he's a big shot that right hand was a big shot he's walking onto the Jabs every time he throws a shot I pick him up F whichever and keep in mind that the media at this point of my career they call me The Pretender they don't think I'm real I must just in case I forget to say that after I won this particular fight they began
calling me the great Pretender they still didn't want to give me the credit because I was I supp unusual in regards to what they expected walking around and should be Tak a rest taking his time filling his lungs up with air and getting a wash down with cold water to try and revive himself for the next round well you can see the Ben Corner working on that damaged left eye we got the iron out cold iron Ambrose Mendy looking a little bit anxious you Bank answer the question I posed at the beginning he certainly hasn't
froze if anything he's Rose to the occasion and right now this title's really up for grabs absolutely I couldn't agree with you more it's h it's in the balance here so here yes keeping him on the end of the jab which is the most powerful shot it's the most powerful tool in boxing is the jab keeping the man at distance while hurting him with the jab it's a hurtful shot is the jab you can drop people with Jabs you can bruise them close their eyes with Jabs and so therefore the jab is said to be
the most um masterful stroke in boxing and again watch me look play pull him on hit him with the jab and that's the full blooded weight behind that that jab left eye in the in so again I've brought him into my field which is boxing and taken him out of his field which is DET trayed the punches by fighting getting into a bit of outsmart each other match that Eubanks you know largest game is to rumble forward he said himself prob he's he's a fighter he's a slugger that's what he needs to do to retain
his title he's not going to out out P that's right well of course the pace has noticeably dropped but there's no way they could have kept the first four rounds up that was grand prix stuff just one going to have concern Ben is about that eye but he's talking back to you back [Applause] now referee steel says come on guys let's have some action as you never turned out the press conference yesterday maybe no I just tell what he wanted to tell him and the reason I didn't turn up to the press conference because it
wouldn't have done me any good it would only have done him um or given him a possible Advantage which was to intimidate me but I had had enough of that the fight was here I didn't go to the press conference wasn't about that it was about actually keeping here he he me low now this shot here he hits me low I actually caught him with a good right handt and right here what I'm doing I'm calculating where I am can I really do this and it takes me probably 10 seconds to work out yes I
can he's not going to take away a point from him I realize that he gets me back into the fight at this particular Point does Richard steel he says come on and it's almost like when I think about it over the years I thought to myself he was helping me here you can do this because you just don't know um you know it's still in and he hits me here with the uppercut to the body and you can see me win and it hurt and you can see me actually trying to stay close to him
because of the pain of that shot that would have stopped most men and here you see I'm back on my jab keeping him at distance he's walking onto the Jabs and I now catch him with a right hand because he's walking in when you're walking in and you're not moving side to side what happens is that you are open Target so even though he's hurt me he's walking onto shots and I'm still in the fight why because my spirit is engaged Roe to Victory I have to win this I need to win this my ire
life or the seven years I've given up depends on this respect as I need a respect from my brothers most importantly I'm not giving up I've been shoing much to give up those body shots are starting to cut you Bank in half yes they were cutting me in half but that was not enough and he knows what to a for we're going to take another break at the end of this round Ben's eyes old enough as well yes it's not getting it's Corner hav been able to improve it but it's at least it's not getting
worse oh that's a good J right hand catching him on the shots why because he's waiting uh let me make a point about when you're hit low when you're hit low it stops you from moving it makes you stand and fight which is not what you're supposed to do not with a man like Ben any boxers who are listening to this you know wear two cups like a a small one and then the outer big one the leather one so round seven right now I catch him with two shots of head can your head beautiful
shot beautiful uppercut beautiful straight right hand again you know he's in front of me he keeps on coming forward he's not moving side to sides and so therefore I'm able to actually land these shots which are very very powerful shots the public imagination as I said ear so after the fight I talk about his ability to take a punch he can't be chinny I say how can he be chinny I hit him with so many shots the great thing about Ben in this particular Fighters that the last thing he wanted was to lose he had
committed so much to this particular fight in terms of what he had said beforehand so you really dug a deep ho for himself unfortunately much more effective Ben you watch Ben when he's been pushed back he hasn't an idea what to do it's when he's coming forward that he's dangerous when he's been pushed back he is not effective he nullifies Ben's power and strength when he comes at him that's what he's got through faint come forward use the jaob keep him back take his time and see what he's doing here I've got him doing and
mimicking me which is to try and pick me off um actually be clever wait for me to maybe throw a shot and then and then counter me but that's my game that's what I'm specialized in so I've got him fighting my game I'm not fighting his game which is to stand toe to to so now he starts showing signs of um not being sure by spitting out his gum shiang elbow him in the mouth this is a war foul each if you like get the jab to work back see now I'm waiting for him I'm
waiting for him and the idea is to have him strike and pay him back the body and then Swit to the head but now the fight is really in it's going my way you why because he has slowed down he's respecting my space now he's not walking into my space as Cavalier and his nul as he started now catching him right there with that one two that right hand caught them flush now he's trying to actually say you haven't got me and I have got him but the idea is to keep on him but do
not spend all your energy because you've tagged him don't think that you've got it sused out reserve your energy pick him off slowly he hits me low again there and I thought the referee would have seen that but he didn't and even though he's hit me low the referee is not paying attention I've got to go with the fight I can't be I can't be dealing with the pain of the shot that was low what I've got to do is carry on with the fight otherwise the refere will stop it if I complain he cannot
see out of that left eye now good round for the Challenger despite the late Glory by the champ absolutely brilliant this is one of them thoughts is good to watch and not so great to be involved in I tell you we've had seven rounds you can't pick a winner let's take a look at this now look at this oh I tell you what that is a shot and a half it went right down to his boots and yet he shook his head in defense and called Eubanks home but you Banks can't afford to do because
of those tremendous lethal body punches that Ben's throwing Fair Credit to n you know people have been asking questions about his chin but I think he's answered a few of them tonight because he certainly stayed there for a tremendous right hand for you know I must say that corner from my point of view I'm always inside out so I can't see my power I can't see my Effectiveness I don't know my Effectiveness because I'm me however obviously others can and obviously now I can in retrospect but at the time it's like really I'm good I
can take a punch I can actually hit hard too you never actually know it when you have it you always take what you have for [Applause] granted I don't know you've got it scored though if it's going to go to a decision but it's got to be a very difficult you know and you know when they talk about this fight being close I don't get that you I've won at least six of the eight rounds you aded the right policy challenging for World tiley take I've had the fight in contr I've been the showman I've
been um uh effective in terms of my movement in terms of my shots and you know the commentators you can hear them saying you know it it's going to be a hard fight to call an aw now right here that was a left hook now I'm on again the backward foot moving backwards he hit me with the shot hits my shoulder and look at me complain I complain and I complain slip slip slip got but what the referee is not listening and so therefore keep your eye on the objective okay fine now I've lost one
point that point is a really big deal and I didn't deserve to lose it because the shot did hit my shoulder this is a but he hit me with shots there and I hit him with shots he's walking onto them because he thinks he did tag me he's thinking that he has tagged me but he hasn't tagged me so I'm still fresh and I'm not groggy and I'm clear coming back with good shots of his own as well he's walking onto Big Shots big uppercuts he was at that point after that knockdown this fight certain
got all fire from B who and more and more absolutely getting behind Ben the crowd were always behind Ben but that was fuel for me because I had never known it any other way people were always against me I still don't know whyos is he ever I was being in my career what I was supposed to be a fighter not a personality not a comedian but a person who stood strong for what he believed I get caught here again actually you know it's a good point to make that he hit me with a shot on
my forehead but I felt the pain in the back of my neck which is why I complained to the referee that he hit me in the back of the neck which obviously he didn't funny but true in Ben's Corner they're abolutely screaming frantically at to come forward and throw shots they seem to feel that you is in a lot of distress this is the master looky so his corner is telling him go for my body well that was always going to be the sensible thing but no one knew that no one thought I could hold
a shot as well as I can and so now they're telling him go to the body because that's where he's weak everybody's weak to the body now this stare out here him staring out and then mimicking me I couldn't see it then at the time but that means I'm winning I've beat him I don't know why bank doesn't go straight back to his corner it seems a Dar thing to me take another look you can see here with that shot the top of my shoulder I my over the top and of course he complained all
the way through the con to the referee but what great Showmanship you know and real Showmanship in that that I complain slip slip slip no slip how how how would you score at the moment bar and then the objectivity the fact that he says you want to fight I say yep okay I'll go let's go as in you're not listening to me I'm not going to keep on complaining children complain men accept what they are involved with for what has happened and they move on so now we are into the nth and let's not forget
we have three American judges play great on aggression and I can't see the difference while I'm there in real time in the fight I can't see the difference but I know I keep on tagging him and I have a feeling I have a feeling this is difficult possible and he's hurt him a couple of times not that it's possible but it's too difficult got to keep his composure that it is difficult as he walks in he can't see that right hand traving over the top if he disguises with a left Jab can cross the right
hand very quickly and can end the fight cuz the boo Fighters are very very tired again he's walking onto the shot you wondering now whether this might possibly go everybody again underestimates how powerful the jab is it keeps your man off balance as well as hurting him at the same time he hurts Ben Ben stands on the ropes and calls him forward he's got to stay away cuz he punches better from a distance and he's much more damag in puncher from a distance where his Ben hits most devastatingly in close he's a hooker and an
upper cutter and body at this stage nth round where my mind is is one of well where it's been the entire fight survival it's survival but at the same time what I've done I've applied the craft and I've applied the Integrity the natural Integrity that I am and that I was I lived I prepared for this and this was the execution I hadn't trained for seven years and given up everything for seven years to just go in there and get hit with a shot and get concussed and lose no no that wasn't going to happen
BL Bank complaining to referee Richard steel steel having none of it this is the sort of a fight that makes old and indeed it does make you an old man does take years off of your life of f anybody but at the same time we saying that that you bank is fresher at this stage I don't know I'll tell you I may not have been fresher stage but I was committed is the key point now he walks onto the Jabs he's walking onto the Jabs I'm jabbing when you're jabbing you're setting someone up for the
right hand and there it goes over the top straight shot it tags him he and I know there is something Magnificent about to happen could it happen Well it can't happen why because I'm just me and nothing really ever happens for me everything has just been so hard all my life but the time is now and it feels as though and oh my goodness oh my goodness he has stopped it and I screamed at that point and that scream was 7 years of solitude pain blood sweat no girlfriends no friends no just pure Solitude pure
work and I've come through and I've done something that has to have won me the respect of my brothers and so to the boxing community and so to every person who has watch I any man any woman any person can do anything they want so long as they mean it what I proved is that I meant it not by winning this fight by giving up seven years of my life climbing a particular ladder and that's what one has to do in life if you want to achieve something just mean it if you mean it you'll
