    Sorry to have to report this but Jason Rushton collapsed after the conclusion of his 10 round bout with Blackpools Brian Rose. He was stopped at 2:59 of the final round of the bout after a perfectly timed intervention by Steve Gray.

    Bizarrely with the stoppage and final bell happening almost at the same time, the usual physician jumping into the ring at stoppage seemed to not happen. I may be wrong but I don't recall Jason been checked over at the conclusion of his bout.

    He seemed dejected at the bell having put in a typically spirited effort but I watched as his dad put his ring jacket on and his girlfriend consoled him and I didn't notice him been once overed.

    He headed off to the changing room and moments later all the paramedics and the Doctor sprinted off to the changing room. Poor Frank Maloney and Steve Wood sounded very concerned about his condition and it was a bad sign that all 4 medics had to leave, leading to the Mcintyre contest been declared a no contest after 2 rounds....

    I'm off to bed hope I wake up to the news i've over-reacted.

    Yes, I echo those sentiments, hopefully the kid can make a full recovery, lets all pray he does.

    I feel for Brian too, he's a great lad that I know personally, he'll be feeling really bad too that's for sure.

    Fingers crossed.

    Just looked at his record, seems like his career was going nowhere and it was obvious that he was being 'used' as a tune up or as a fighter that one should be beating.
    Not nice and its very sad...

    I really hope he is ok

    Its called a journeyman

    His last 3 defeats came via the likes of Hall, Cox and Jennings. Not exactly getting beat by bums was he ? Either way hope he pulls through

    VERY sad news.

    Sounds like he was already unlucky being stopped with only 1 second left, let alone this.

    Lets hope his luck improves and he makes a full recovery.

    Our prayers are with you Jason.

    I've been searching the sites for up-dates on his condition, and found nothing. So I suppose no news is good news in this case.

    My prayers are with Jason
