Really entertaining fight. Blackwell is limited but game and tried his best. Landed some good blows at time and a brave lad. Jr was just a bit too good for him. MTF
Nee cunt watching this card? This pikey is laying into Alverez and his catchweight bullshit. Good for him. MTF
Looks like Blackwell might be in a bad state. Still not putting the last fight on. Shame for the lad. A bit too brave for his own good. MTF
C5 showing reruns of earlier bouts. Hughie Fury's bout not starting until Blackwell is given the all clear. Still being treated, apparently. MTF
Eubank the elder tried to get it stopped after the 8th and advised jr to target the body rather than the head?
Yeah apparently lispy the elder was recorded saying: "If he doesn't stop it and we keep beating him like this, one, he is getting hurt, and two, if it goes to a decision - why didn't the referee stop the fight? I don't get why. "So maybe you shouldn't leave it to the referee. "You're not going to take him out to the face, you're going to take him out to the body."
Dunno. His last 14 wins have come by stoppage, he's not just tickling guys in there....I'm sure Blackwell's neurologist would concur
Just going on observation it seems like those stoppages are what most frequently cause serious brain injury tho. Dad wasn't a huge puncher either.
Agreed. Gerrem out of there faster. I can't remember the last time Eubend ever dropped anyone of note. :scratcher:
