Nick Blackwell vs Chris Eubank Jnr

[Master]

Regarding the comparrisons with Golovkin.

Had it been Golovkin in with Blackwell and Eubank in with Murray would the results have been much different as to what happened to Blackwell and Murray?

Murray did well against GGG considering he was hurt and put down early by Golovkin.

Murray would have tested Eubank if he stayed at middleweight. That would have been a good fight and test for Junior.

I don't think the fight should have been stopped. It's easy to be wise in hindsight. But Eubank though he landed some heavy shots. He was never badly rocked Blackwell, never knocked him down, sure he had him against the ropes, but he was sloppy with his work, and tried to con the ref into a stoppage, by doing that Joe Calzaghe thing of throwing loads of half arsed punches and hoping the ref will step in.

I pray for Blackwell, an induced coma ? In that case there is a chance he could die. There is a chance he could wake up and be like Michael Watson or Gerald McClellan. There is also the chance that he could make a full recovery but there is no chance we will see him in a ring again that's for sure.

I never said Chris Eubank Jnr did not hurt Nick Blackwell. I'm saying Chris Eubank Jnr never badly rocked Nick Blackwell because as soon as Chris Eubank Jnr hurt Nick Blackwell. Nick Blackwell came firing right back, plus Nick Blackwell looked strong throughout the fight. Nick Blackwell's body posture and demeanour was that of a strong fight who was still in the fight. That's why I think the ref was reluctant to stop the fight, that and Chris Eubank Jnr attempts to end the fight were sloppy punches.

Isn't it funny , and by the way I wish Nick a full recovery , however Joshua KOS brutally Whyte , but its regarded by some as just a British standard fighter.
However Eubank Jr has now failed to win by brutal KO in 2 back to back british standard fights , however he is world class ?
Nothing like double standards.

Let it go

No, being wise after the event.

Its not being wise after the event, before anyone knew how bad Blackwell was plenty at ringside were saying it should have been stopped earlier.

Normally when a ref sees a fighters head snap back they stop the action and give an 8 count. How many times did we see Blackwells head violently snapp up and back from uppercuts? Sometimes 3 times in quick succession.

Plenty in the crowd said it should have been stopped earlier , thousands didn't say that but why look at both sides of the argument huh Master ?

Who the hell wants to be a referee you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't,! we have all
called refs fit to burn stopping a fight or not.
The corner has to take blame for not showing compassion for there fighter, I always say sooner is better
than later remember Blackwell traded on his toughness and he would fight till he dropped.

And guess who was right?

Those in attendance and know what they are looking at or the people at home whove never taken a punch in their lives?

I wonder what Pascal Collins and O Sullivan make of it.

Yep, and there are some guys who were never capable of becoming a ref, so had to become judges and feel they can criticise one of the best refs Britain has ever produced. Glass houses and all that! 😏
