- Atkin was Wharton’s full-time trainer during a lengthy and undefeated reign as British, Commonwealth and European super-middleweight champion, as well as for his only other 3 defeats in world title shots against Benn, Eubank and Reid.
Eubank and Benn needed opponents like Henry, he played his part in that golden era. Well done Henry
Great times to be a British boxing fan. Wharton was so tough, but I did think Slugger O’Toole just popped him in their domestic bout. A lot of domestic quality at middle/super middle back in those days
I thought he easily outscored him.
@@paulanthony5274 All the boxing came from Castro Smith I reckon. If I remember rightly the referee scored the contest, so the ref agreed. Wharton came forward-he always did, but I think Smith boxed better on the back foot, as did most of Brendan Ingle’s fighters at the time
@@gash9883 Yeah that's who I meant I thought he out boxed Henry in the bout and Larry Occonell gave it to Wharton
@@paulanthony5274 Got you 👍🏻
Gary you know my thoughts on the Nigel Ben fight. Henry a lovely guy see him about now on the EB circuit
