Tough opponent was Tony Thornton. James Toney's words in the Ring magazine the Best I've Faced - "I thought I was gonna knock him out easy. He was squared up with his chin right there for me to hit but I hit him with every punch I had and he wouldn’t budge. I hit him with my best left hook and he didn’t blink." RIP Tony Thornton.

Thornton was very underrated just because he was a postman. 3 world title shots were no fluke. A real nice chap. RIP

The Punching Postman was no pushover. He seemed like a very down to earth guy and well spoken. RIP Tony Thornton

Another gifted decision to Eubank. During his reign he had a few hometown decisions.

I had Eubank winning 4 maybe scraping 5 rounds max. Thornton had a solid guard and was dishing out hard punches as well as consistently jabbing Eubank whilst Eubank was backing off.

Yeah I agree, eubanks was rather lucky to escape with a win again, he looked very relieved at the end of this fight

Commentator said Thornton told him, "If I hadn't watched the tape (VHS), I would have been in for a lot surprises". Maybe ITV gave it to the postman they flew over. No wonder Eubank had 8 defences in 18 months.

Eubank said if he hadn't watched the tape of Thornton then he'd be in for a lot of surprises, get it right.

Not a bad win for a guy who was circumcised a few days before with no anesthetic! No wonder he wore red shorts. 2024 correction: I was wrong, the circumcision was a few months later just before the Ray Close 1 fight. My bad! 53:03 Baz Hearn: "JAB, JAB!!!" Funny.
