Can Nick Blackwell box again?

Assuming Nick does make a complete recovery of course(until that is clarified all else is pure speculation).


Is there any cases of boxers returning to the ring after suffering similar injury?

 

be a fool to do so.

this is your brain you are talking about. u axe it up, you are as good as dead. worse even, and likely for every living minute of your life till you die.

 

If he knows what's good for him, he won't.

 

basically, don't box in anything above Amateur friendlies. Its not worth the risk.

I mean that for anyone here - not Nick!!

 

Obviously all I know is what I read in the papers, but it seems that he may NOT have suffered a brain injury at all. From what I can gather, it was a blood vessel outside the brain that was ruptured and leaked blood inside his skull. It may have put a certain amount of pressure on his brain at the time...he did faint in the ring....but He may well have ZERO actual "brain damage". If his brain is completely injury free then maybe he has a case for being allowed to continue his livelihood, no?

 

so nobody should box?

 

Should never be allowed to box again, pro or amateur.

 

course not, its very dangerous.

but some need too.

 

There was an American who had a severe brain/skull injury who was allowed to fight again. His name has completely escaped me decent fringe contender was not the same afterwards. I can't imagine the British board of control allowing it and that's probably for the best. 24 he's got years to do something with his life

 

Why bother, he already knows now he is domestic level at best and he has had a serious injury so packing up is the best option.

 

That should be former heavyweight contender "Baby" Joe Mesi. He sustained brain damage after being rabbit-punched by Jirov (in a fight he won on points). Stayed retired for a couple of years and then started a comeback, claiming he was healed. After winning half a dozen of fights against weak opponents, he took good advice and retired undefeated before getting hurt again. He's the last white american heavyweight contender we´ve heard of.

 

Well you've certainly found something you are good at....being a ****head.

 

thank you for actually addressing my opening question....:thumbsup

 

Hello welsher. :hi:

 

Maybe his injury is similar to Peter Cech https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr_Čech#Head_injury

Cech was able play again but had to wear helmet because another head trauma could be fatal with weakened skull.
