Round One
Benn-10
Eubank-9
Both men testing out their reflexes early. Very tense work. Eubank tried to potshot from the outside but it wasn't as effective as his inside work. Benn landed a few solid shots to the body and is the more active man inside.
Round Two
Benn-9
Eubank-10
Eubank scored from the outside with some sharpshooting. He used his jab and also scored to the body. Both men landing good left hooks. Nigel slow to pull the trigger but doing well at ducking, slipping and weaving.
Round Three
Benn-9
Eubank-10
A counter left hook wobbles Benn momentarily, and Eubank continues to shoot some well-timed jabs. A short hard right hand and some nice uppercuts on top of that win Eubank a scrappy round, although Benn starts doing a decent job at slipping the right hand and countering to the body.
Round Four
Benn- 10
Eubank- 9
Benn beginning to find his range with his right hand and body shots beginning to have some effect. Eubank's mid-round, mid-range flurry something minor.
Round Five
Benn- 9
Eubank- 10
Eubank gets in lots of nice left hooks. Benn had kicked it off wild but was turned against the ropes. Eubank had Benn on his heels a little with some crisp combination punching. A right-left combo on the chin might have hurt Benn. For the remainder of the round, Chris counters well with uppercuts and right hands.
Round Six
Benn- 9 (8, one point deducted for low blows)
Eubank- 10
Eubank lands a lot in this round. Inside punches force Benn back. Nigel gets in a small handful of head shots towards the end of the round.
Round Seven
Benn- 9
Eubank- 10
Eubank lands in two's and some single uppercuts, and gets out or holds. Clever. Quiet round for Benn though, plodding forward. Both men appear very tired.
Round Eight
Benn- 10
Eubank- 9
Benn's ripping the body with hard uppercuts and mixing in right hands to the head. Eubank showing inaccurate shoeshiner flurries and a lot of holding inside.
Round Nine
Benn-10
Eubank- 10
Eubank gets his jab working to clearly better the first part, but Benn really sinks in the body shots in the second part and has more activity inside.
Round Ten
Benn- 10
Eubank- 9
A beautiful leaping left hook hurts Eubank and a follow-up barrage has him stumbling a little. He comes back with a short uppercut on the inside, but no damage done. Every time he gets something done, he's getting hit right back with something heavier. Benn's round for sure.
Round Elevan

Eubank- 10
Eubank tightened up his punches and started to use his jab again. His best round in awhile.
Round Twelve
Benn- 10
Eubank- 10
