This whole drama is a bout Blackwell going through the realisation phase of what he's been through, he's lost the job he loved doing and probably doesn't see a future for himself anymore.
Add to that he didn't just lose that fight but got battered literally to death in the process must leave him bitter and seriously angry.
Eubank shouldn't be made a scapegoat for doing his job.
With regard to the post fight press conference whoever was supposed to be managing Eubank jnrs affairs should have "managed" his fighter properly.
This is just a case of sour grapes from Blackwell and you can't blame him.
Poor cunt must be devestated now the reality is sinking in.
as much as I dislike Eubank Jr. I did say that it wasn't him to blame , either in the fight or as far as the press conferences go. I did allude that it was down to his "management" as far as the press conference goes.
and again, although I dislike him, I have to say his response to Blackwell's comments yesterday showed a lot of class.
"Pretty shocked at what Nick has said about me & my father today. Regardless of how he feels about me I still wish him nothing but the best"
I'm not sure it is simply about Blackwell lashing out because reality is kicking in. I repeat, his family Begged Team Eubank not to do the press conference and they did it. They could easily have said " Out of respect for Nick Blackwell , we will not be holding a press conference until we feel the time is right." They didn't even have to say "the Blackwell Family asked us not to."
