Good fight. Sims was at the end of his career. My Dad fought a young Robbie Sims in ‘79 for the Golden Gloves of New England. Lost a 3 round decision. My Dad never went pro but proud that he went toe to toe with Sims. My Dad, Like Sims before this fight never got knocked out as an amateur. Good ol days of boxing!!
Robbie Sims was obviously in the shadow of his brother, but all in all he had very nice boxing career. Wins against Barkley and Duran. And he fought for the title.
Benn was the only man to stop Sims. Just awesome, natural power.
Duran had him shook a few times during their fight
midweek sport specials.
omg after the news at 10, you happily put up with a bit of the dogs or speedway and then get some amazing boxing or football.
Good o' days!
@@FINDINGFITNESS101 definitely mate , cheers

Cool story my friend! Thanks and best wishes from Chicago Illinois ❄️❤❄️❤
Nice to see the respect with Michael Watson.
Certainly was, that ring had 3 of my favourite fighters in it Benn, Watson and the Marvellous Marvin hagler 🥊🥊🥊
Best fight of Nigel Benn
it's a shame this is not the Midweek Sports Special programme with Nick Owen presenting - they had Eubank & Ronnie Davies in the studio!

Nigel Benn must have dynamite in his punches, ko wins over the super tough Iran Barkley too
Benn once described Simms as the physically strongest opponent he faced.
The thumbs down from Marvin Hagler of course.
My jaw. Dropped to the floor when I saw Nigel Ben's ripped body cowabunga❤️😍️💗😘😂
Basically the only time a Brockton fighter has ever been knocked out. Wtf is in the water in that town.
Nigel at his very best 👌 👍!
WHY was the eight count not given? WHY was grit not removed from Simms' gloves after the knockdown?
Eight count was at the ref's discretion to assess the fighter, he did that anyway, it was not compulsory, it was discontinued in 1998.
Nigel Benn destroyed Simms for Duran, same way Tyson destroyed holmes and Spinks for Ali.
Duran won the Sims fight and was robbed whereas Holmes shut out Ali
You wally,,,
Know your boxing history
@@kingtyomama6564 he did not , it's just a delusion ,🎶 oooh oooh oooh , OH... ILLUSION 🎶 😆
When did Ali fight Michael Spinks?
@@dan32113 I think he meant Leon Spinks, bro
Simms was a real tough guy he would have beaten eubank
by the way villa lost 5-0
Was nigel benn on the juice back then ?
its possible cause he was friends with Bruno who was clearly juiced up
They were two of many back then.
Simms would have beaten Eubank!!
@Derrick Jones you don't understand The Warriothz code!
