    Eubank v Blackwell fight

    Eubank v Blackwell. Don't really follow boxing but just caught a guy, present or former boxer, rooting for Blackwell in an interview and the same guy faffing around in the ring goading Eubank Snr. waving a belt in his face. Bit of a farce. Is boxing becoming the new wrestling in terms of the presentation?

    Ps. Billy Joe Saunders was the guy doing the goading.

    Billy joe Saunders is a current world champion, he's already beaten Eubank Jnr but they still have lots of niggle between the camps

    Saunders said he didn't like or rate Eubank and that Blackwell would take him. He's got it wrong so far.

    Eubank Snr. saying to his son that he can't understand why the ref hasn't stopped the fight.

    I get the impression that if Eubank was fighting you or I that Saunders would have said the same thing, they really don't like each other haha

    That is a massive swollen left eye.

    Right decision by the ref.

    That was some swelling on the boys eye.

    Thought Eubank dominated but credit to the other boy for trying .

    I said at the start that I don't follow boxing. Is Eubank unpopular because he's an arrogant barsteward like his old man? That aside, he looks quite handy. Took the other guy apart.

    I watched the build up, dude looked the most unconfident out of any boxer I've ever seen during the walk up, IBF rankings appear to be mental

    Did the guy collapse in the ring, seen him being taken away on a stretcher by the medics.

    Now seems to be a worry about the guy.

    Hope everything is okay with him.

    Didn't collapse . They laid him down , gave him oxygen and off in a stretcher.
    Doctor still with him in the dressing room. Boxing card put on hold for the meantime.

    The two pundits seemed to think Blackwell was ok. They said he gave them the thumbs up as he was led away on the stretcher.

    I think if Blackwell was okay then the next fight would have started by now, I also notice they are not showing any highlights of the fight.

    Blackwell on his way to the hospital.

    He did take one hell of a lot of punches to the head,proves Eubank thasn't the power his old man had anyway or Blackwell would have been sparked out long before it was stopped.

    Boxing now cancelled due to the well being of Blackwell, seems to be serious concerns about him, Eubank Senior maybe right that he was shouting at the ref to stop the fight a few rounds earlier, the guy was taking some heavy punches from Eubank.

    The anaesthetist has left ringside to go with him so no other fights can start without him present

    Towel should've been in at the end of the 6th, no way was he winning that fight after that round and was surprised they let it reach as far as it did.

    Hope all goes well for the boy he took a lot of punishment but just kept going.

    Sad news and immediately makes you think of the Eubank snr v Watson fight,hopefully a better outcome for Blackwell. Brutal prolonged punishment he took for far too long.
