Nick Blackwell vs Chris Eubank Jnr

Its like educating pork.

The "8 count following a knockdown" as you say has always been in place. The description of when a fighter is down is very ambiguous and for the ref to inteperet. The 8 count is clearly there though and while standing so that means I win!

I don't see what is all that ambiguous about the rules that you were strictly quoting just a few posts ago, in fact I would say that the description of when a fighter is down is pretty clear cut

3.32.1 In this Regulation 3.32, “down” shall mean one or more of the following:-
(a) when a Boxer falls from the boxing ring beyond the ring apron as a result of a legitimate blow; or
(b) when a Boxer is on one foot or both feet and at the same time any other part of his body is touching the floor of the boxing ring; or
(c) when a Boxer is supported on the ropes of the boxing ring and, in the opinion of the Referee, is unable to defend himself; or
(d) when a Boxer is in the act of rising

I would say that is when a fighter is down.
End of the day it appears that you were arguing about a completely different rule to what Fenster mentioned in the first place.

But then what do I know I just watch fights at home and have never taken a punch after all

Lads lets stop arguing of course this brings up some strong feelings on this fight, we can not change
the fact Nick Blackwell got injured, we could blame ref corner men doctors etc a boxing match is
fight between two adults that are at peak fitness and in controlled environment(RING) with a referee
and Doctors and other medical experts at ringside.
I don't believe anybody is thick with there opinions, you say it as you see it and there are disagreements
remember lads who needs our prays and good wishes is Nick Blackwell and family and spare a thought for
Eubank Jr how he is feeling not to good lads.

The walking brain dead posts the rules that proved me right but - as Batman showed - is too thick to interpret them.

Complete and utter imbecile.

Yes you are Fenster. Your posts are getting worse and worse.

**Fenster** · 03-30-2016 05:32 AM

My posts are getting worse to you because i'm giving you a slap. Why should I put up with your rubbish? If I want to correct you I will. Simple as.

**ross** · 03-30-2016 06:05 AM

You havent corrected anything. You saw that 8 counts are still in the BBBOC rules courtesy of me having to put you straight. Slap? Thats probably as much as you have in you

@ross you wanker

Kessler snapping Calzaghes head violently back in round 4-5 springs to mind immediately of a fight where that simply never happened.

Boxing would cease to exist as a competitive sport if your claim were true.
