air gun ant 1,666 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hope he's ok, the lad showed real grit and determination, it was the best fight I've seen in ages, he actually wanted to be there, and he was there to fight! Unlike some of the other crap I've seen lately lol 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Proper warrior nick Blackwell hope he recovers well and God be with him you can't take it away from Eubank he is also good billy joe and fury lived winding the Eubanks up and It's starting to get to Them can't wait for Saunders to best Eubanks again funny when Eubank was pointing at billy joe at ringside when he wasn't exactly performing something amazing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Tough kid Nick Blackwell...should the ref of stopped it earlier?...easy to say with hindsight but...he seemed to be taking a lot of those punches on his arms and was always firing back...it was the cumulative effect of the upper cuts that did the damage...hope he pulls through ok 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was made harder for the referee due to the heart Blackwell was showing in the fight, and how he fought back and not just covered up taking shots. Hope he recovers ok, genuine boxer / fighter with plenty of heart and a credit to British boxing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They know him better than anyone and that he is to tough for his own good. Hope he makes a full recovery. I have mentioned on another post, I had a bad feeling/thought about this fight that crossed my mind. I knew Blackwell could take it and Eubank can give it out and throws a lot of shots.

shepp 2,285 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 They probably have medical procedures a lot better organised these days. It may have been the difference between life and death for this guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david jones 97 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 That was a absolute belter of a fight, nick Blackwell is a true warrior who can really take a upper cut, even though eubank won it for true gusto and passion nick Blackwell is a true champion last night putting on a show like that I hope he makes a full recovery 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flipbull 1,139 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Fook me if there was a post let's say about Billy Schwer, I reckon the Fury's names would still be mentioned somewhere down the line 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
