I would like to ask a question to all those people who have laid blame for Saturday night on the trainer, promoter, referee etc.
After the fight was stopped, and Blackwell was stood talking to Eubank Sr., how many of you thought "he's going to be in trouble here, he's going to end up in Hospital in a coma?"
Yeah, thought as much. At times like this everyone brings up the McLennan tragedy.
It is believed that the Blow that did the damage in that fight was as early as the 2nd or 3rd round, yet he went on for a few rounds more.
The ref and trainer are not doctors and don't have a scanner with them. They can't say "oh wait , that's the blow, better stop the fight!"
Still , easier to sit in your armchair and slag people off isn't it? That'll fix everything.
