awesome slugfest..but i agree Thomo just got home by a few points..
Even Jim Lampley of HBO said this was and I quote "As fantastic a Prizefight as you will ever see" and he was right, it really is that good!!
Don't care what anyone says Eubanks was never the same fighter after Watson Eubanks had Thompson out but never used his killer instinct he once had prior the Watson fight
So Eubank nearly beat a prime Thompson. An old Thompson beat David Haye. And David Haye beat Nicolae Valuev. Does that make Eubank the best world Heavyweight Champion Britain never had?
Does anyone know what is the instrumental played at the beginning?
both the eubank v thompson fights should be sold on dvd this showed me eubank was truely tuff carl was as well but what a great fight.
Great fight. Credit to both guys but younhave to give kudos to Eubank for going up two weight classes ,..what a tough guy and what a warrior.
I used to hate eubank start of career but started ton like him as time went on. He's guts and bulls were second to none. Man was solid. People forget eubank life tough at the start
Great fight!
It could have gone either way, but a edge of the seat fight. Thompson was strong but seems didn’t have the same chin as Eubank but showed his worth in the second half of the fight. Even though the decision went against Eubank, I doff my hat to you, Sir for coming up two weight divisions and giving it your all, with a knockdown to your credit in this fight, you could of had Thompson down a few times, but we caught by your own admiration of your own work! But that was Eubank… a prideful showman, who ultimately won the respect of his nemesis and his haters… GREAT FIGHT!!!
war! thank you
Two hard as nails fighters 👏👏👏
brilliant fight this
If Eubank would've won that fight he would've challenged Herbie Hyde for his WBO Heavyweight Title....
Great fight Eubanks a real entertainer Thompson is a real hard dude
Thompson throws a weak jab at 3:10 and Eubank counters with a combo, a left lands on Carl`s body, pretty good by Eubank`s negative standards. Eubank sets up body shots with a double jab at 3:17, this the best I`ve seen Chris up to that point.
That is a great fight.
Can only imagine how sore they both felt while crawling out of bed the next morning lol. Respect to them for the way they both stuck in and refused to be beaten. Quality fight from quality fighters.
Eubank should have finished Thompson, cuz after that, he handed the victory to him on a silver plate. Props to Thompson for nit giving up. Legendary physical conditionning!
What a fight
The better man won.
Tremendous fight.
Chris was the man legend Jesus jumped up two weight divisions at that late stage respect
A cruiserweight v A middleweight Great effort from Eubank,but maybe too far off his natural weight class..

@@jeffallinson8089 Wear and tear on the clock. Lot of mileage fighting at a high level, Thomson was a bit fresher, and of course natrrually bigger but he is actually older than Eubank.
A prime Eubank could have destroyed Thompson, no doubt about that. What a warrior he was!
it is a classic fighting
You won't get another Cris eubank ever well deserved boxing history
Thompson was very respectful, and you can tell hes been through a lot , in many ways First by his teeth, and then by his character.
weldone to post the fight on here. its not just a boxing, its a example of some one arrogant like eubank, having a leason at the end of some of his boxing match
Ces deux boxeurs anglais dominent l'Europe comme toujours bravo à eux
Superb fight. Forgotten how good that was, I’d have given it to Eubanks just for stepping up weights and putting on that performance. Fair do’s to Carl, good Champion.
Great fight +1 for Eubank or draw
Calzaghe said Eubank was his toughest fight. Wasn't Eubank a late replacement for Calzaghe? Eubank could have caused him even more trouble.

Calzaghe was a great fighter but Eubank took that fight at 2 weeks notice, and he still gave Joe a tough fight. In my view watching a lot of Eubank fights the commentary team never gave him enough credit. The same goes for his son
Fuck.....did you see Eubank take that punch at 14:32 before he put Thompson down?
I will always be a Chris Eubank fan one of the best.
It was a great fight. Eubank had stones. Quirky dude but a real warrior.
Chris Eubank LEGEND STILL IS
I thought Eubank did enough to win but this was close. Both men embody warrior.
Carl the Cat was a top Cruiser, he beat David Haye. The fact Chris even had this fight was mad when you think about it.
YOU WON MY RESPECT MR. EUBANK,I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE RESULT
It's refreshing that the commentators don't talk over the fight much and don't claim to know everything and how they should win they just don't stop waffling shit today it's annoying
The refree said years later said "Eubank was a warrior right down to the sole of his boots"
Eubank the best chin in the game. Heart and more heart that why he's a great.. I'm a fan till this day because respect is due
Eubanks fought all comers and the best - Benn, Calzaghe, Collins, Watson, Thompson etc. Big difference to the joke that are today's boxers
Khris Eubank the more funny boxer that I ever seem, and also a great Warriors
Respect to Thompson as well. Took and gave some big punches.
The best chin in boxing history and Eubank could have potentially ended it earlier in the fight. The amount of power he carried from starting at middle weight to cruiser is immense. He just needed a bit of a better defense to take away getting hit with the right so often
Scored it 114-113 Eubank
I love Mr. Eubank
Eubank was a beast.
Everyone liked Eubank after these fights. Even those like me that wanted him to lose at SMW.
Respect to Eubank going up two divisions to try to become a world champion again.
Now that's boxing!
Carl Thompson was a credit to the sport
Here from the year 2023 where guys don’t really fight they just get paid
Good-Good scrap! If Eubank just had a little more stamina - he could have taken The Cat outta there! Nevertheless - both great warriors who fought their hearts out! Anyone for Carl Froch vs any-of-these-guys in a wishing-there-was-such-a-thing-as-a-time-machine-fight? ;)
Carl Thompson was fighting at heavyweight aswell?
The ref quite clearly should have given Thompson a standing 8 count on two occasions! Eubank is the greatest British fighter ever fact!
I was there!
Who the hell was at light heavyweight to where Eubank decided to go all the way to cruiserweight? Physically he looked as good as humanly possible for someone his size moving that far up. More or less how he always looked but much broader in the back and didn't seem to sacrifice any speed...but ffs Thompson was just so much bigger, to the point where unless Chris stood next to him at super middle you wouldn't know they were in the same weight class
7:23 Eubank`s guard all over the place!
Ace!
Thompson won this in the championship rounds. Brave performance by Eubank, but Thompson was chasing him around at the end, Eubank was spent.
Look as Eubank jabs at 6:01 his rear glove is not protecting his chin and his stance is all over the place.
Eubank was robbed,1 of the best middleweigh boxers around aswell as benn,watson,mcclellan,shame it had to go to points,thompson was lucky
Not sure how the judges arrived at 114-113. I felt that Thompson won the fight by at least three points.
Is Eubank not a middle weight? And Carl a Cruiser weight? How come they fought?

Eubank was always a natural light heavy. Especially by his mid 20s. He was just one of those great athletic fighters that could cut weight and still perform. So moving up to cruiser weight was really only one jump according to his natural anatommy. Exactly like James Toney.
Eubank is one hell of a warrior
