    He seems sound as a pound. Hope all is ok.

    Referee has blood on his hands. Stubborness towards Eubank Sr is why ref kept letting it go on, without concern for Blackwell's welfare

    I bet no-one gives credit to Eubank Jnr, Blackwell showed amazing heart and an unreal chin - but Eubank was too quick, too accurate and too good. Hope Blackwell is okay.

    With respect, Blackwell's corner could have pulled him out at any point.

    Full credit to Jr, I had money on Blackwell but I'm not bitter about it, Jr did what he had to do and it was a very solid performance.

    I kind of feel the same. An extension of some of the Blackwell nuthuggers on this site, there was one earlier called double shake who is a good example. So determined that this fight would be 'close' and that Blackwell was a warrior who ought to be allowed to block every punch with his head in order to throw a jab... and I feel the ref felt the same with the pro Blackwell crowd.

    I think we sometimes lose sight of just how dangerous boxing is. I hope Blackwell is OK. Definitely a case of being too tough for his own good.

    Firstly hope Blackwell is ok. FW must be rubbing his hands at the BJS Eubank beef. Builds up a decent size fight.

    Don't know if Eubank was deliberately loose with his defence but why get caught with stupid shots. If he had a touch more power he'd be a tough fight for anybody. Think he beats Saunders in a rematch but loses badly to Golovkin.

    No, the ringside anaesthetist has gone with Blackwell to hospital so no more boxing in the arena tonight.

    I'm surprised pro punter hasn't yet arrived on this thread to blame matchr0om or box nation for this.

    It does suck though...
