For those who are too young to remember, Eubank was a fighter who was vilified in the 90s by the British press for his stately behaviour in the ring, which was, in truth, showmanship and helped put bums in seats. He was accused of being pompous and arrogant, but he was far from it. This man is an absolute gentleman who has enough empathy to realise another fighter is in critical condition and advise his own son against doing more damage. He was misunderstood by many, but he's a man with a kind soul and was the voice of reason on Saturday. I genuinely believe if Eubank hadn't told his son to ease off with head shots Blackwell would be in worse shape. God bless Eubank, and **** the 90s editors of the Sun & Mirror newspapers.

I agree. Eubank was in fact arrested for protesting against the British and American invasion of Iraq. Somewhat similar to how Ali was jailed for refusing conscription into the USA army against Vietnam. Both of these guys are heroes in my book.
