Up the Albion!
As I've said earlier, everyone outside Brighton hate the Eubank's. A lot inside too to be fair.
I remember in '91, I was on HMS Fearless when Chris Snr fought Watson. Everone on board knew I was a Brighton nut & obviously I was giving it large about Eubank, so the time came for me to put my money where my mouth was. I had a tenner with everyone in my mess, there were 36 of us, so I was in trouble if he lost. No digital TV in those days, but the Captain was a big fight fan, so we closed to the South West coast, just off Portland, to get a TV signal. Well, the signal was very in & out, which is very frustrating when you're trying to keep up with what's going on by the second!
Anyway, I was copping all the usual anti Brighton abuse,as you can imagine. Watson was ahead on points coming in to Round 11, then Watson puts Eubank down, just as we lose the picture. The lads were going mental, I was getting pelters. Then, the picture came back. Watson was down, Eubank was doing his pose, & the ref stopped the fight early in the 12th. I got pummeled by the lads, but everyone eventually paid up. Scenes!
Come on Chris Jr; shut up all the Brighton haters, again!
