Re: Thoughts with Nick Blackwell
Hope he makes a speedy recovery...was a brutal fight. I guess you can hear what Eubank Snr said how you want to hear it...but i guess asking his son to take him out to the body rather than the face does imply he did not want Blackwell to sustain any more damage to the head

It's clear to me he's urging Jr to take it out of the refs hands. In other words - knock him the fuck out.
Two rounds later old Eubank told Jr - "get this guy out of here, I don't want it going the distance"
Re: Thoughts with Nick Blackwell
The way Eubank was playing around in the last round I think he took pitty on Blackwell. The lull in the action gave the ref the opportunity to have Blacwell looked at. Maybe one more uppercut and it could have been worse.
Re: Thoughts with Nick Blackwell
The Eubank family strike again. Junior's management team need to employ somebody to do all his motorway driving for him for at least as long as he's in professional boxing.

Taking credit for this compassion narrative has to rank up there with the most disgusting things ever in boxing. Disgrace.

For a moderator you dont half lower the tone in here sometimes with your biased views. Are you BJS?
You will hopefully never know what its like to punch someone in to a coma to qualify your disturbed opinion.
Re: Thoughts with Nick Blackwell
If I ever punched someone into a coma I wouldn't hold a press conference to piggyback the coverage it has got.
Since when were mods not allowed an opinion? I'll say what I like when I like.
Re: Thoughts with Nick Blackwell
When your opinion is wrong you argue like a little keyboard warrior rather than someone whos supposed to moderate shit like that.
The press conference was to do with the fight itself and because of what happened on the night they couldnt have one afterwards. The press wants to ask them questions at a press conference. We are being told that Blackwell is on the mend and this is when they have held it 3 days after the fight. Are you that bitter you wont allow Eubank to have a press conference on his fight? Was it not one of the best fights youv seen in a British ring this year? Reign it in with the bitterness.

Definition of opinion -
a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
Therefore, by the definition of the word, an opinion cannot be wrong.
Hope this helps.

There was one man and his dog there, and the first words were from Eubank Sr. "Hello everybody, thank you for turning up."
Why does he thank the press for turning up? Because he instigated the conference. He ASKED for the press conference so that he could give his opinions . Otherwise the press would've thanked them for turning up. #just saying.:cool:

You think the press are nomadic wanderers who just roam around hoping for PRESS conferences?
Of course they get invited! Every promotor thanks the press for turning up to press conferences! Hennessey hates the Eubanks, he was foaming at the mouth ringside, probably on the verge of a cardiac with all the jumping up and down!;D
He was never going to do a press conference to talk about how his fighter got battered by Eubank.
The Eubanks have done absolutely nothing wrong or out of turn. Both did their jobs and did them well. Now they are recieving praise in the media and some sectors are absolutely fuming with it.
