Prayers for Nick Blackwell

5 quint prichard colon gets out of his coma first.

Sorry to say he will never be the same.

The fight could have been stopped earlier and I hope Blackwell's ok.

Having said that, this is a tough sport and Blackwell trained long and hard for his title defense. It would have been unfair to stop the fight when Blackwell was actually throwing punches back and he continued to do so right until the end.

I hope that Blackwell makes a full recovery. The bloke was too brave for his own good.

Best wishes to Blackwell. He was basically unstoppable that night the ref and Lockett needed to stop him.

Bit confused as to why he was put in a medical coma unless he was in a very bad way. The aim is to relieve intracranial pressure findings are sketchy as to whether putting them under actually does this - miffed why it is standard procedure. I have seen plenty of people recover from brain bleeds though albeit they weren't getting punched by a top level boxer. A lot of the time they are just managed conservatively.

All signs looking great for @nickblackwell02 just heard from Mick. Prey he's going to be alright. After speaking with Mick I'm sure he will.

Good news! He is a young, fit lad to he has a chance.

Dunno, if I am morbid or what but I would love to know what the procedure is for these things. Because he can't have had a CT scan before he was put under. His pupils presumably weren't equal and reacting to light and so he was put under. Just seems quite extreme. Not that knowledgeable on the subject but I know those medications will drop blood pressure significantly. Seems so risky.

You would assume that he's receiving the very best care and attention. I'm sure the doctors know what's best.

Yeah - I suppose if you go to the extreme you can always work backwards. If it is standard procedure there must be a lot of evidence backing it up.

God bless, Blackwell at any rate.

It should've been stopped a couple of rounds earlier imo, difficult though because Blackwell was still throwing punches. What a warrior.
