Sunday Punch: Chris Eubank’s literal one-hitter quitter vs. Reginaldo dos Santos

Reginaldo dos Santos does not rank anywhere near Chris Eubank’s greatest wins. This was before Eubank even became a world champion. But Eubank’s precursor to his first fight against Nigel Benn is a KO that would be a social media delight had such a thing existed back in 1990.

At this stage in his career, dos Santos was an 11-4 fighter with not one seriously notable win. Eubank was an up-and-coming star of world boxing. This was a mismatch on paper and a “get rounds in” booking and it did not even accomplish that.

Literally the first punch Eubank threw was a big right hand and planted dos Santos right away.
