E-P-K Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Blackwell was very game was the issue. He was still hitting back. Consistency is the issue also, the next fight we will see the ref step in far to early. Link to comment
Nelly Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Eubank jnr fight was a masterclass, not got the power of his old man but he took the Blackwell guy apart methodically, future World champion I hope. Hoping Blackwell makes a full recovery but doubt he'll see a boxing ring again, fight should have been stopped way earlier, I'm no boxing expert but even I was questioning why it wasn't stopped at least a couple rounds earlier, was only going to be one winner, Blackwells corner need to have a look at themselves and well done to Eubank snr for his efforts to stop the guy getting hurt more. Eubank Snr was a credit to the sport telling his son to only go for body shots. Can't believe his corner kept sending him out. Link to comment
tup Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Not certain that's exactly how it happened. If you are trying to portray Chris Eubank as a good character bear in mind this. When Watson was lying comatose on the canvas, Eubank called him a 'dopehead' live on ITV ffs. No revisionism from me. The Eubanks were cunts. Chris was possibly the hardest boxer I've ever seen.

Clydeside_Sheep Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Blackwell was very game was the issue. He was still hitting back. Yes but not nearly enough to describe it as any form of contest. Sometimes he was languishing on the ropes, taking plenty and offering nothing. I think it should have been stopped 1 or 2 rounds earlier. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Eubank Snr was a credit to the sport telling his son to only go for body shots. Can't believe his corner kept sending him out. Eubank said that because he thought there was a better chance of stopping him with body shots, not because he was concerned about how much punishment the guy was taking. I agree the guys corner should have pulled him out. Later on, his coach was still telling him "this was the plan! this was the plan!" as though he stood a chance of winning by any means at that stage. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 That's unfair tup. Eubank had no idea of Watsons injuries at that point. If you don't like him fair enough but don't talk pish. +1 Thats fair - Eubank had no idea of the situation and it isnt fair to judge him on a spur of the moment comment while he was ignorant of the severity of things.

The media are making out Eubank was being compassionate. Utter rubbish. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It must've been like getting wrapped round the head with a stuffed pillow for 30 mins. Dull. There was one moment when Eubank did 4-5 rapid rights to the head, kind of tippy tappy but no reply, they should've known it was game over after seeing that. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Nick Blackwell is now out of the induced coma, good news. Lets hope he is OK and completes a full recovery. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-3522881/Nick-Blackwell-induced-coma-suffering-bleeding-skull-against-Chris-Eubank-Jnr.html Link to comment

minijc Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Watched a stream and still feel robbed, what a farce that was the cunt is a complete fraud and I'll happily place my largest ever bet on Haye or Fury when either of them steps in against him, over hyped, blown up shitebag that is all.

Clydeside_Sheep Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Its being reported today that Nick Blackwell has retired from boxing. Right decision imo. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Prince Charles' shorts were far too small. It's like he ordered them and they arrived too late and way too small. He would've needed magic shorts to have stood a chance. That tattoo Joshua has in the middle of that knot of muscles, it kind of disappears when swings back. He's a freak. Link to comment
minijc Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Charles didn't want to fight, i dread to think just how bad some of the cunts he beat really are, didn't even attempt a punch v Fraudua. Link to comment

It's got Frochs photo, and there is a video of someone pranking the same number with what sounds like Froch answering. I called him an English poof, but the bait never worked. Link to comment
