Knowing what went wrong the first time around, Nigel Benn made sure to adopt a vastly different approach for his rematch with Chris Eubank Sr.<\/p>\n
The domestic rivals squared off in 1990, back when Benn was the defending WBO world super-middleweight champion and Eubank, an unbeaten challenger, was largely unproven.<\/p>\n
Prior to their encounter, Benn had suffered just one defeat, against Michael Watson, from which he bounced back and later dethroned Doug DeWitt with an eighth-round stoppage.<\/p>\n
But while \u2018The Dark Destroyer\u2019 had firmly cemented himself as a formidable knockout artist, it was in fact Eubank who emerged from their first fight with a ninth-round stoppage victory.<\/a><\/p>\n After that, Eubank would make a series of successful title defences, two of which coming against Watson, before entering his rematch with Benn in 1993.<\/a><\/p>\n Benn, meanwhile, had claimed his WBC super-middleweight strap with a third-round finish over Mauro Galvano, who he later outpointed in the same year that he faced Eubank.<\/p>\n During the near three-year spell between their two iconic dustups, it seemed that Benn had also adapted his style to a point where, defensively, he became far more proficient.<\/p>\n Because of this, many felt that he had done enough to exact his revenge over Eubank, yet the two fierce rivals were ultimately forced to come away with a draw.<\/p>\n
