I have Nigel ahead by at least six points after 10 rounds. I can't believe he didn't get the decision! He fought marvelously, just marvelously! He really showed himself as a boxer, not just puncher.

@Jorsalfar 6 points after 10? learn to score a fight. that's an absurd lead in a fight this close.

To me, to offer your glove in 'goodwill', and then come over the top with your other hand is a sucker punch, plain and simple. Low & shameful.

Not much impressed by the ref, either. Seems more like he should be in a wing chair, playing chess and sipping hot tea (both of which I like).

I have Benn up by a little after 10. More quality punches connected. Round 11 -- kind of a toss-up. Good one, though.

Eubank winning 7-3 after 10, but the rounds I give to Benn - 3, 4, 10 - are the most clear rounds won by either fighter IMO. Eubank takes the 11th on workrake but what an awful fight, really!

[JuicyJuicester]

Eubank edges the round on workrake again, round nine that is. For me anyway. I'm not watching it with the sound off but I am ignoring Jim Watt (and his personality disorder) and scoring it honestly and personally and objectively.

6 points up? dont be silly! i had him 1 up after 10
