Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted July 25, 2012 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 25, 2012 Latest Guest Announcement - Nigel Benn Nigel will be with us on Saturday and will take part in a photo op and signings Benn turned professional in 1987 and began a streak of consecutive knockout wins. During this time, Benn won the vacantCommonwealth middleweight title with a second round win over Abdul Umaru. At 22-0 (22 KOs), Benn defended his Commonwealth title against Michael Watson in a heavily hyped bout in May 1989 at Finsbury Park, London. Throwing nothing but hooks, Benn repeatedly failed to get through Watson's tight guard, and gradually tired whilst being stunned numerous times himself. In the sixth round, Watson knocked Benn down with a jab and Benn was counted out as he rose to his feet, albeit by a somewhat hasty referee's count. His next fight, against Jorge Amparo in Atlantic City, U.S., was his first fight abroad and also the first to last the full distance, with Benn winning a 10 round decision.
