I've just seen a pic of Nick Blackwell, the young boxer who is now in an induced coma in hospital. He developed a bleed on the brain during a fight with Chris Eubank Junior. The fight was eventually stopped but not soon enough to avoid this tragedy.
Apparently Chris Eubank Senior went into the ring and told his son not to hit Blackwell on the head any more but to aim for his body. This may have been for humanitarian reasons or (as some have said ) it may have been because blows to the head were not working and so body blows would be more likely to win the fight.
Boxing has traditionally been seen as a way for young working class men to make good and earn some money but surely this sort of thing cannot be justified?
