Jermain Taylor vs. Nigel Benn
(Taylor's defending his WBA, WBC & IBF Middleweight titles against Nigel Benn).

Early Line: Benn should be too strong and agressive for Taylor to hold off.

The Fight:
Taylor sets down on his punches and meets Benn in ring center. Benn gets countered by crisp, clean counterpunches in the first. Nigel visits the canvas in the second for a brief 2 count. Benn finally starts to land in the third catching Taylor with a few big shots. His moment in the sun, however, is short lived. Benn gets pummeled from pillar to post in the fourth and visits the canvas twice in the fourth. The final time, for the complete 10 count. Benn's undefeated record disappears along with his aura of invincibility.
