Last Saturday Wembley Stadium was the scene of one of the best fights of the year. The confrontation between the British champion, Nick Blackwell, and Chris Eubank Jr left the fans satisfied, who attended the evening in search of a true boxing battle.
However, the news about the current state of health of the loser has generated controversy over the performance of the judge, who stopped the fight in round 10.
The 25-year-old Blackwell was treated with oxygen after descending from the ring and taken on a stretcher to the ambulance that took him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a stroke caused by the blows he received, according to the British news network BBC.
For that reason, the doctors left the boxer in an induced coma in which he is still, while he is still in a state of observation.
“I hit him with some big shots, maybe the referee should have stopped the fight earlier,” said Eubank Jr, brand new British middleweight champion.
The 26-year-old fighter lamented the consequences suffered by his opponent: “It is sad that I have to go out on a stretcher. All I wanted was to snatch his belt and I have done it, “but he was proud of the show they both gave the audience:” This is what boxing needs, two warriors who stand up and fight. ” (Courtesy Infobae).
