gamerooster 1,179 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 It was as one sided as a gang rape! He showed heart but what he didn't show was boxing ability, a Billy Joe said boxing is about hitting without getting hit, I bet embark has had harder sparring matches! He's game, but that only lasts you so long, you need ability to 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flacko 1,732 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hope he recovers well, don't think there was any need for two champions to get in ring & taunt another boxer especially as the one gave a interview later saying he'd been schooled the right way and a Olympian atb Flacko 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,008 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 watched it on c5, should have turned the volume off, Blackwell was outclassed by a hell of a lot more than 4 rounds, I hope he`ll not fight again, his heart is too big for his body and he`ll end up dead on his feet but still swinging, the bias and hate for young chris I can`t understand, too many memories about his old man maybe but senior did well career wise so maybe junior is now thinking that's the way to perform to earn big bucks, hope he has the skills his old man had to back it up, time will tell 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,385 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Always terrible when a fighter is badly injured in the ring Hope Nicky makes a full and speedy recovery, he's a real fecking warrior too game for his own good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevo79 569 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hope he's ok. Apparently Eubank senior was telling his boy later on in the fight not to hit him in the head!!! I never watched but sounds like they could of stopped it early.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gamerooster 1,179 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 He told him to hit the body to do more damage, he was getting hit with bombs but they weren't rocking him, and he finishes well and eubank was losing his snap so that's why he went to the body..... last time I fought I took quite a few hard shots to the head, and maybe 3 at most to the body, my headache went after two days but couldn't lift my hands above my head for a fortnight, body shots are cripplers and very under rated 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eubank senior was banging on the canvas at the end of the eighth round urging the ref to stop it. His words and his actions have been widely praised. He was obviously mindful of the damage he did to Michael Watson in the early nineties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I think Eubank senior had genuine concern for Blackwell after watching the video. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 4,929 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 A lot made of Snr banging the apron and telling the ref to stop the fight. IMHO he's a mile out of order. Victor Loughlin is a top referee and some of what's been said and written suggests he didn't do his job right. Eubank is a dick and had no business asking the ref to stop the fight, unless he was pulling his own man out. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flipbull 1,139 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Eubank jnr and BJ Saunders have been on talksport today. Saunders slating the Eubanks saying the only reason his dad wanted the ref to stop it so he had the stoppage over NB. BJ also says the way the Eubanks carried on after the fight, yet his good mate Fury was in the ring singing etc. Saunders where saying they where bad for boxing, didn't he f*ck someone else's wife and put it onto youtube not long ago? Also watched an interview with Peter Fury last night and no matter what was going on in the Hospital he wanted Hughie to fight because he had, had a tough training camp and his opponent come all the way from the USA. Eubank jnr comfirms his father told him to go to Nick's body because he was taking to much punishment, his father even tells him the same during sparring sessions. Talksport hosts where saying they lost a bit of respect for Steve Bunce and the comments he made about Eubanks senior's comments about going for the body. The way I see it Saunders is using the fact to build up a rematch and make more £'s. I like team Fury and think Saunders is a very clever fighter but needs to think before he speaks though. Claims he speaks the nothing but the truth, now only the Eubanks will know that, not him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did see him banging on the canvas your right its just the way he worded it made me think otherwise and yes also right he may be very cautious after his previous experience let's hope it was due to that and him knowing he was causing damage 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Eubank senior said:"if you keep beating him like this,one, he's going to get hurt,two,if it goes to a decision, why hasn't he stopped the fight?I don't get why, so maybe you shouldn't leave it to the referee. Now you're not going to take him out to the face, you're going to take him out to the body.' My interpretation is Eubank is frightened for Blackwell's safety and doesn't want Junior to inflict any more head shots. I think he should be given credit for this. I don't think anybody is to blame for the situation. Personally i was wincing every time Blackwell took an uppercut. His head was snapped back dozens of times. Blackwell's corner could have pulled him out as could the ref, but he was still marginally in the fight. He could have got lucky, albeit very lucky, and summoned up a concussive punch to finish Eubank who was tiring. It's tragic for the boxer, his corner and the ref who will each be thinking what if we'd stopped it earlier? Hindsight is a great thing. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
