Chris Eubank Jr: I Realised Blackwell Was In Trouble So I Held Back

Chris Eubank Jr said at the press conference today that he knew Blackwell was hurt so he felt the need to hold back on his power shots.
“I had spared my uppercuts. I thought this guy is hurt. I worked it down a notch.” Said Eubank Jr.

Chris went on to explain how he knew he had won the fight and there was no need to throw punches with the some power as he had been. “I’d won the fight, so I thought let’s put on a little bit of a show because people are still watching. I wasn’t throwing as many punches.” He said he eased off because he knew he had “severely hurt” Blackwell.

Chris Eubank Snr talked about how he wanted the fight stopped. “I can’t speak for the British Board of Control, I can’t speak for the referee, he has his own discretion but I have been in there, I know what it feels like. I have been saying how dangerous Junior is for the past two years.”
