Re: Nick Blackwell rushed to hospital after falling ill after a sparring session
If Blackwell has been involved in sparring in the sense that we all understand it, then it's complete and utter lunacy. How anyone agreed to it or allowed it is simply staggering.
For the moment, Im clinging to the hope that something else has gone on here. Maybe he was training someone and got clipped accidently, maybe he didnt get hit at all. Here's hoping.
Re: Nick Blackwell rushed to hospital after falling ill after a sparring session
If you look at what he said after Gutknecht suffered the same sort of thing after the Groves fight his words come across a little differently

“I just hope he can come out the other side and make a full recovery like I did .
“You are in there doing something you love and the fighter in you means you don’t want to give up.
you just read them two little sentences and it sounds like he was itching for it back then.
He didn't make a full recovery, if he had then he wouldn't have had his licence took off him.

No way did that happen otherwise he would have been the most unluckiest person in the world. ;D
Re: Nick Blackwell rushed to hospital after falling ill after a sparring session
At times like this you wonder what Mr watson and G man would do with a second chance like Nick has had, addiction to something is so hard to control, Spencer Oliver is a prime example of a boxer over coming this.

Let's just hope he pulls through n doesn't try sparring another pro boxer again.I'd reckon a guy like this would take his chances defending his family against joe six pack. Average person can't hit a decent pro boxer in a fight anyway and certainly can't take being hit by one.
Kidding yourself if you think a fight is just 1 on 1 face to face, fair fist fight.
Been in a lot of brawls and jump in gang initiations in your day huh? LolMost fights end in less than a minute especially if someone knows how to use their fists and the other guy doesn't.
I don't want to sound like a cock but I have been involved in proper fist fights and yes a minute is a long time to be taking punches!:rolleyes:

Any idea where they draw the line? Obviously Blackwells injury was so severe he wasn't going to get it back, but an example I can think of would be Jermain Taylor. He had a brain bleed of some sort after I believe the Abraham fight, and he obviously got his licence back to fight but controversially, I remember that redhead woman who was around for so many fights, chief physician somewhere(likely Nevada) saying he should have never been declared medically fit again, which looks like the right call in hindsight, yet he was even given a title fight!

He needs to watch himself though, picking on Ross like that, last thing he wants is to get into a fist fight with him, especially one that lasts over a minute
