    Good news that Nick is well enough to tell his side of the story.

    However speaking to the Sun he is angry at Eubank Snr. for holding a press conference whilst he was in a coma, against the wishes of Blackwell's family, Hennessy and the BBBoC.

    Thoughts on these developments?

    Absolutely disgusting grandstanding by the Eubanks. Trouble is they will be happy if Blackwell slates them tomorrow because all they want is people to talk about them - no matter what they say. Sad.

    First time i had heard that the family and Hennessy and the BBBoC had asked Eubanks NOT to hold a press conference. Why hasn't this been mentioned before?

    I think if they had said nothing at all, it might have been seen as cold and they didn't care.

    Don't see what the Eubanks did wrong, they said all the right things in the press conference. There was no chance of them keeping quiet with the press on them, it would have looked awful on their part.

    They didn't. They told lies about the fight to underplay Nick's physical and mental toughness and portray themselves as caring, gallant heroes. Only Johnny Nelson seemed to spot it at the time, although thankfully more people have seemingly sussed them out in more recent posts on Eastside.

    The fact seemingly EVERYONE, from promoter to board to Blackwell's family asked them not to do it is all the more sickening.

    They did the right thing.

    If they hadn't, the same people would be here claiming the Eubanks are cold and heartless etc etc

    **** you Blackwell.

    KOS, If you spam this thread, or any thread, with your gibberish... then I will report you again and you will be banned. I've made you a special exception to my golden rule.

    Sorry, but no. Just no. If you are genuinely brain injured, apologies. If you are not, then you are not funny and your character is appallingly boring. Bore off.

    2 sides to every story, imo the Eubanks have acted appropriately and done everything you would expect from this situation.

    I cant actually believe that people think the Eubanks held the presser to benefit themselves, really after what happened to Snr with Watson.

    I think you are sicker to think like that in the first place.

    This is a start. You are at least actually responding to something. Let me be clear, because I am not joking... a large part of me thinks you are probably brain injured in some way. No nastiness, just my view based on your special style of unresponsive nonsense. However another part of me just thinks you are a turd trying to be amusing and failing. I'm being gentle because I am not sure which it is.

    Stick on topic and I won't report you. Babble and spam with multiple posts and I will. Cheers, all the best.
