Former British middleweight champion Nick Blackwell is currently in a medically induced coma after absorbing a beating at the hands of Chris Eubank Jr. on Saturday night in London.
The bout was action-packed, but Eubank Jr. (22-1, 17 KOs) was the more dominant force and began pounding on the defending champion to the head and body. As the rounds wore on, it became evident that Blackwell was too tough to be stopped with punches to the head, and he continued to fight on.
Referee Victor Loughlin allowed the fight to continue, though many who observed the match felt it could have been stopped sooner.
