Nick Blackwell vs. Chris Eubank jr - March 26th 2016

[deadpan]

Saunders just referred to himself in the third person.

I didn't expect to be sick in my mouth when I woke up this morn.

[Boxing Prospect]

"I wanna fight Golovkin"...didn't say that when Golovkin was free...

[lillywhite14]

Woodhall is doing his usual cheerleading!

Eubank Jr gives Saunders plenty of trouble in the rematch.

He doesn't want any piece of Golovkin, despite the talk.

indeed

using similar logic I may call out GGG myself.....

[jamesmcdonnell]

Bit of a worry the anaesthetist was in blackwells dressing room.

Thought woodhall was being rather evasive. Eubank looked a lot more controlled and also threw far more combinations. Surprised me albeit against a guy who had very slow feet.

Indeed, on his way to hospital now .

Buglione loses a world title fight then fights as muffin like this ? sorry pal don't celebrate that shite.

Grim end to the evening. Incredibly brave kid. Hope he recovers quickly and fully.

[ILikeBeer]

Blackwell.

[jamesmcdonnell]

His chin was a little too good. He must have taken 30 or more full blooded uppercuts.

[stujones]

Wishing Blackwell all the best, he really brought it to Eubank and did better than I anticipated.... speedy recovery champ.

As for Eubank Jnr, I think there is so much potential, but I would like to see him go back to the states - maybe the Wildcard gym and get some very very hard spars. He needs to iron out his defensive flaws, especially when he goes on the attack. He clearly has a great chin, but he is so open when he attacks. Leaves his chin out to dry..... when he was nailing the body shots with Blackwell on the ropes, he was so open to lefts and right crosses - with his head down and chin in the air.... GGG would just have a field day.

Anyway, enough about the boxing - just wishing Blackwell the best - great effort.

If Saunders gets properly fit I think he beats Eubank more comfortably than before. Jnr has a great chin and works the body well, plus he has a sweet uppercut. However he struggles when someone doesn't just stand in front of him. Saunders likewise has a great chin and also like Eubank doesn't have great one punch power. He is a very, very good boxer though, has a great jab and terrific feet. To me the difference in fitness made the first fight close

[manchester-mexican]

Firstly hope Blackwell is OK, took a lot of shots there but was saying to the mates that the ref should stop it before he actually did, was well behind n not really offering any threat, too brave for his own good, Eubank decent but leaves himself open way too much

[Father Huddlestone]

Gutted, I pray the lad is okay and suffers no lasting damage.

[Exoddus]

Blackwell gave the thumbs up when they took him off. Hopefully he'll be ok.

[handsofstone]

Great fight despite it being very one sided,seeing Blackwell absorb they shots was admirable,he must have 1 of the toughest chins in the country,Eubank might not be the biggest puncher but he does still hit hard and he was accurate with they big shots he threw,he got careless though and nearly paid the price

I hope Nick's fine he took punishment tonight

Great fight

I feared that was the case when they said the anaesthetist was in there. He did also look very ragged coming out in that last round. Poor guy brave beyond the call.

Have to say not a great fight. I thought it was fought with great heart but blackwell was dominated for much of the fight. Best of luck to him.

Did anyone else think Paul Dempsey was out of order bringing up the Michael Watson fight with Chris Eubank Snr?

[Tinnie]

Just heard the news... hope Blackwell pulls through ok.... thoughts are with him and his family...

Obviously ignoring the most pressing and important issue which is his life- making a good recovery, his career is still going to be over right? If so, that's very sad. At this moment in time that is a trivial matter though. I wish him a full and speed recovery.

[keithmoonhangover]

My positive thoughts are with Blackwell.

One question...... Where was Adam Booth tonight?
