Eubank retains WBO crown
GLASGOW. Scot land. Sept 20: Britain's World Boxing Organisation (WBO) super-middleweight champion Chris Eubank handed America's punching postman Tony Thornton a first-class defeat In his fourth title defence here Saturday night, reports AFP.
The 26-year-old Eubank retained his crown with a unanimous points success over the dangerous Thornton to extend his unbeaten run to 33 fights.
But the busy Eubank knew he had been tn a fight after his ninth contest in 22 months.
He said: This man was tough. He stayed there for my biggest shots. I have nothing but admiration for him."
It was typical of the enigmatic Eubank that he rose to the occasion against one of the best men in the division, Just as he had done against compatriots Nigel Benn and Michael Watson.
Eubank s combinations in the opening round were frequent and sometimes breathtaking. carrying power and speed.
was bound to take Its toll and the New Jersey postman kept walking for wards to get back In contention.
’Thornton, unbeaten In his nine previous fights, showed his quality by snapping In a heavy right hand, which momentarily stung the champton.
That was enough for him to go back to the jab, although Eubank did throw In good left hooks and upper cuts as Thornton methodically went through his work trying to open up the champion.
Eubank used the ring well In the fourth, making Thornton miss and when trapped In a corner, brought his strength In to play to stay out of trouble.
Eubank's Jab was effective in the fifth, but Thornton began to pick up the points and as Eubank began to look a shade tired, the American worked far harder than he wanted.
Eubank even began to blow in the seventh as Thornton thudded in another good right.
But the champion got a second wind in the eighth and must have come close to halting Thornton. After being out-boxed, Eubank suddenly exploded a big right to the side of Thornton's head, the challenger reeled back into the ropes and took two more of the same before holding on for the bell.
That savage attack took the wind out of Thornton and Eubank looked to finish the Job In the ninth.
However. Thornton held on and actually rallied in the 1 1th. only for Eubank to make himself scarce, in the final three minutes to ensure he did not make any crucial mistakes.
Earlier. Scotland s Pgt Clinton also hung on to his WBO flyweight title by a unanimous decision, although his victory over England s Danny Porter was nowhere near as convincing as Eubank's against Thornton.
The 28-ycar-o)d Clinton, handicapped by a damaged left hand, was even jeered by his own supporters in the 10.000 capacity crowd after being awarded the controversial triumph In his first defence.
Clinton, who captured the world title with another contentious decision over Mexican Sid Perez In March, seemed, to have lost his crown to the aggressive challenger.
However, the three judges from the United States. Germany and England all decided that Clinton had done enough to retain his title.
Porter was convinced that he had been robbed. He said: "1 thought I won by two rounds.
How can I possibly retire after that performance? Pat can t go any further until he meets me again. I want a rematch "
