. That spar was as pedestrian as they come, proves absolutely nothing IMO. Conversely, I acti**** think Blackwell is starting to be overrated by a lot if people, he really isn't all that either.
Blackwell is a grinder- deceptively effective. There is a clear pattern starting to emerge in his fights. For the first 4-5-6 rounds most decent guys can live with NB - without appearing too distressed. Then - quite suddenly - in the space of a single round usually around 5-6 rounds in, the fight 'sudenly' turns. This happens too often to be a fluke. He must be doing something right for this to keep happening the way it does, against tough guys too!
I don't think anyone is saying Blackwell is a bad fighter because he 100% isn't, but he's not some great fighter like you guys are trying to make out either. He has a top class engine and he's a very tough man so he will always be in fights, however I don't believe he has the skills or power to make it at the very top.
Apparently Callum Han**** (7-0) who's currently in prison got the better of Eubank in sparring a couple of years ago but he would get demolished by him now. Sparring stories are always interesting but they mean nothing.
You'd think Blackwell was the Terminator the way people talk about him; rather than someone whose best win is John Ryder.
I'm sure there is a mass of people paid by EH etc.. to try and polish a turd on the forums etc to make a fight seem competitive and create money out of the contents of a dustbin
It's went full circle, at first getting underrated and now as you say some of the hype is a bit much.
.....and.....lets not forget Nick STOPPED Ryder decisively too. Billy Joe only beat him on points.....
If people think eubank jnr is easy to hit, then Blackwell is even easier. Poor movement and would lose on points
Thanks Terry, always great to hear things direct from boxers and sparring ect :bbb Think Eubank will be in trouble if he underestimates Nick, CEJ seems far to ****y at times and shouldnt be yet, his laziness an self importance has seen him tagged a few times an probably cost him his loss to BJS
The eubanks wouldnt dump sky if they were worried about this fight. Eubank is borderline world level. Blackwell domestic level at best.
