Brutal fight last night and hope Nick makes a full recovery. I'm glad the ref got the doctor to check the eye and stopped the fight, some refs & cornermen would of been happy to let that go on longer. Enzo Maccarinelli fought Braehmer a couple of years ago in Germany, without doubt the worst swelling around the eye i've seen in boxing. He also had Gary Lockett in his corner and despite repeated requests from Gary, Enzo refused to quit and boxed on for several more rounds. It can be a tough call to get your man out, but there's time you need to pull rank, regardless of what the fighter or public want. You can always get another shot, speedy recovery 'Bang Bang'.

Legend. Chris saved Nick's life.

I hope Blackwell is OK when they bring him round, we all know what happened when his dad fought Michael Watson,
fwiw, I think the ref or his corner should have stopped the fight in the 7th.
yep amazed he did not stop it
Blackwell is some warrior no doubt but the ref should have protected him when that huge onslaught came
the upper cuts were banging his head back all night long
I wish him well

Away in Athens so missed the boxing. SAD to hear about Nick hopefully he pulls through. Also the Kell fight he needs to fight mandatories to keep his belt. Needs to fight either Keith Thurman or Danny Garcia. Love to see him fighting in the US next time out get him in with either of those 2 guys be good. Also Jesse Vargas and Errol Spence Jnr would be good fights like what I have seen from Errol Spence Jnr so far.
The fights are coming thick and fast at the moment some good fights this coming month.

Boxing ain't yoga, it is a very serious sport.
I think the rewards are not worth the risk (in the sense the blows to the head will either reduce your life significantly or kill you)
We have to agree, It's a very barbaric sport for the 21st century and I'm shocked it isn't outlawed tbh. Especially in this day and age when you get health and safety people going crazy about fecking heading the ball in football !
Sadly it takes something like poor Nick Blackwell's injury for people to see the dangers.

Thing is mate, people forget how much good boxing does away from the sport.There's times i've felt like a social worker with some of the kids we've had through, their backgrounds have been horrendous. Boxing has kept a lot of them off the streets and out of trouble, taught them discipline and self respect. I've even liased with teachers over the years to get kids back in school, through boxing. I've heard a few people call for it to be banned since Saturday so just having a moan.
