Comments Thread For: Eubank Sr. Tried To Prevent Further Head Damage on Blackwell

[deathofaclown]

I don't see this corner speech as humanitarian as others are making it out to be. He just tells him he should go to the body to get the KO instead of the head since Blackwell isn't getting stopped & the ref isn't stopping it. Its still more strategic of Eubank winning just with a typical throwaway comment about injuries to the other fighter that just happened to come true on this night sadly. If nothing had happened to Blackwell in this fight little would have been made of these remarks.

Plus the truth is there is a vested interest in Blackwell not being critically injured in this fight cuz as the saying goes when a fighter dies two careers are destroyed.

Not trying to say anything bad about Eubank I just don't see all the father/humanitarian of the year type **** holding much water over what was said. Guy gave advice to get a W which just so happened to include words about a guy being injured & he did get injured. I don't even think he mentioned it in a particularly caring or concerned way he's just got that British accent so everything sounds nicer lol.

He was definitely concerned. The ref warned him at one point near the end of the fight because he was ****ing on the canvas from outside of the ring saying they need to pull Blackwell out.

I agree.. but did you actually see the fight? He was screaming for the fight to be stopped, as he know's all to well what unnecessary punishment can do, as he nearly killed michael watson 25 years ago.

ASTONISHING footage has emerged showing Chris Eubank Snr potentially saving the life of stricken boxer Nick Blackwell. Eubank Snr, whose son was fighting Blackwell, enters the ring after one round and says he "doesn't know" why the referee hasn't stopped the fight between the pair.

It should never have to come down to the fighters and their corners to have to make this decision.

He does that in a lot of his son's fights, if memory serves.

which fights were that.....

[ShoulderRoll]

Well, whether he told his son to go the body out of the kindness of his heart or out of cold, calculating strategy.....thank goodness that he said something.

Either way it saved Blackwell from taking even more trauma to the head.
