Video: Boxer in coma after loss, opponent's dad helped lessen damage in contest

Boxer Nick Blackwell was in an induced coma following a one-sided loss. His opponent's cornerman, former middleweight and super middleweight world champion Chris Eubank, told his son Chris Jr. to show compassion towards badly beaten opponent in between rounds.

On Saturday night, former WBA interim middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. defeated Nick Blackwell via tenth round TKO in a one-sided contest.

After Eubank Jr. had continuously landed power shots and uppercuts throughout the contest, the action was put to a halt at the 2:21 mark of the said round by referee Victor Loughlin, as advised by the ringside doctor.
