Generational Trauma: How Chris Eubank Almost Took A Life And Saved Another

In 1991 after losing a title fight with Chris Eubank, Michael Watson recieved a brain injury that left him nearly paralyzed. It haunted Chris for years. Decades later he was seeing history repeating while cornering his son. The father’s wise words may have saved Nick Blackwell’s life and his son’s a massive amount of guilt.

[@daweilee1986]

When Eubank said to go to the body, he didn't do it to save Blackwell, he knew Blackwell had a good chin and Jr couldn't get him out of there, so as the saying goes, if you kill the body the head dies, it was purely a boxing tactic to target the body cos those with great chins can be broken down with body shots, nothing to do with mercy. I can understand the non boxing media being fooled by Eubank suggesting he had an honourable intention by saying go to the body, but boxing fans and media can surely see why he really said it. And btw, as usual, Eubank Jr ignored hia dads instructions and continued going to the head, the media never picked up on that and ran with the story.

Don't be a plank. You know, I know and EVERY boxer KNOWS that they are getting into the ring to hit their opponent as hard as they can, as often as they can, for as long as they can. They know there is a VERY REAL chance of serious injury to themselves or to the guy/girl in the opposite corner. If he REALLY cared, he'd not have been in that ring. I don't respect him at all.

[@gottliebdee263]

Bollocks. The lust to watch the brutality of boxing has people defending its awful position. Each one of these opponents goes out with the express intention of hitting the other usually in the worst place to hit someone as hard as they can until that person falls. They go into it KNOWING they can kill them but hoping they won’t.

@@TedBarton91 Senior never said he will get hurt in a way that meant he was worried for him, and when he said don't leave it in the refs hands, it means don't wait for him to dive in and save him because he's not going to do that, knock him out yourself. Thats what take it out of the refs hands means. He then said go to the body not the head because in boxing, if a fighter has a solid chin and can take a lot of punches, they usually have a weakness to the body so u target the body and get them out of there.

Benn slipped and a clash of head occurred in the 9th Benn would stop McLennan in the 10th, after he started blinking quickly, a sigh of his brain damage, which he had shown for years before the Benn fight, likley acquired in the Jackson fights At no point did the ref run "interference". Benn just didnt go down and was outboxing hin for most of the fight, and dragged Mclennan somewhere he had never been, and that combined with his pre existing injury, on top of the punishment from benn, was what led to his condition.

[@championsmaterial]

Boxing, to me is the ultimate sport that teaches the life lesson to always fight, always overcome adversity, always aim to win no matter the cost. No matter the cost. That's the one. That's where the conversation around this sport in particular gets uncomfortable. But it's necessary. Look at Muhammad Ali, look at Mickey Ward, no need to start an endless list here. I remembered Chris Eubank as a unique personality as well as a tough fighter. Now, thanks to another brilliant piece from Rhythm Boxing, I'll remember Eubank as a man who said NO to no matter the cost.

[@bobbywise2313]

I had the, I call it misfortune, of having a former boxer as a patient/resident of a long term care facility. I am a respiratory therapist and this boxer, who I will not name had suffered severe brain damage from a fight. He had a trach but had been weaned off the ventilator. However he was basically permanently vegetative. Yes every once in a while he would seem to track or change facial expression. This gave his mother hope and I never tell anyone not to have hope if they do. I can only say based on my experience what I have seen. But sometime after I left that job I heard he died. I never bothered to confirm it because it depressed the hell out of me. I heard the video of the fight is somewhere on KZbin but I never could watch it. I told his mother that there is no way I would want to see it and that I admired him for all he had done and the courage he showed in the ring. Keep in mind at a place like that you get kinda of close to family and often they want to talk about things. I am careful though. But I developed a, (I guess bond is the word) with his mother. I was an amateur boxer from age 10 to 17 myself. So this is probably one of the reasons this particular patient affected me so much. Plus he was very young. I think early 20's. Boxing is safer than it used to be, but there is no possible way to 100% prevent this. It is usually cumulative punches over 9 to 12 rounds that do damage. And in many cases the fight is very close so it doesn't warrant being stopped. Better trained refs could help though. I think in the case I am speaking of the boxers legs were showing signs of damage a round before he collapsed.

[@Cereal_Killer007]

​@@bobbywise2313I think better trainers are the cure for it. The fighters well being is their responsibility because they know them best. A good trainer wont hesitate to throw the towel. Look at Ali vs Frazier 3 for an example of a top shelf trainer. He didnt care that it was the final round or that Joe Frazier begged him not to stop it, honestly, him throwing the towel impressed me as much as the fight did.

[@bobbywise2313]

@@Cereal_Killer007 This is very true. He told Joe, "no one will ever forget what you did here today", after Joe begged for that last round. And I think he was correct. It is the chief seconds job to protect his fighter and no when to say we are done today. It is also their job to tell them when it is time to hang up the gloves. Most fighters think they still have it even though their bodies clearly don't. I think Angelo Dundee should not have let Ali get into the ring with a prime Larry Holmes. It took everything he had to beat Spinks in the rematch. And Leon was just an ok heavyweight. He was not in the same league as prime Holmes. Plus Ali had been in a long lay off and had no tune up fights. I will add many in his camp were saying he was not right and struggled jumping rope and other simple things. I think the money was just too much for Angelo and his managers.

[@Cereal_Killer007]

@@bobbywise2313 in a interview Dundee said that he begged Ali to stop fighting but Ali refused to stop and said "If you wont train me then ill find someone who will" and after hearing that he felt that anyone but him would get Ali killed. So it was because Dundee cared about Ali that he kept training him. I didnt expect that answer from him but I gave him a whole lot of respect after hearing it

[@bobbywise2313]

@@Cereal_Killer007 I don't doubt that and Ali was broke at the time as well. But there was some shady things from some of his medical test that was somehow covered up. For the Holmes fight he was in no condition to fight any unranked heavyweight because of the thyroid med he was on. He was told it was a vitamin. He was off of that for the Berbick fight and was at least competitive but clearly not even close to what he was just a few years earlier. So I will not totally blame Dundee but at the same time I have to wonder if he could have done something to prevent him from getting into the ring with an all time great in his prime. Even the Ali that beat Spinks would have lost to prime Holmes. The Ali of 74 might beat Larry and of course the 66 Ali would beat him. But after Manila Ali was pretty shot. The other thing is should Dundee have stopped it sooner. Ali was clearly a helpless fighter and was taking a beating. Holmes held back at times because he did not want to hurt his former boss and idol.

Michael was a great middleweight, one of the best british middleweights the last 60 years. He was a real hand full for Benn and Eubank and wouldve given groves, froch or even Calzaghe a helluva fight. It was so sad how Watson turned away thinking he had won the fight and got caught. Mac Clelland was also so unlucky against Benn. Its such a brutal game and you have to give huge thanks and respect for improving health and safety and purses for boxers. What a great man, an anti war protestor too. I love this man for that. God bless him, he clearly has had mental health strugglrs like Fury and Bruno but is truely a great man with a big heart and i feel so sorry for him having to cope with rthe guilt of that punch but its so unlucky and it couldve been any boxer who it couldve happened to.

Christopher Livingston Eubank is one of my favourite and one of the best boxers ever. It took people a long time to appreciate him because here in the UK Nigel Benn was champion and hero Chris was hated by most because of his image his front his arrogance. But as he once said himself " its not bragging if you can back it up." He was a product of poverty in inner city London and the bronx new York he could handle himself. It wasn't until his defeat to Steve Collins and retirement he stopped the cocky front. Although still to this day i dont know how a defending champion knocks Collins down for a count twice and looses on points but hey thats that. The tragedy with Michael Watson was the first time Eubank ever showed his emotions what a shame it took tragedy defeat and retirement for people to see just what a warrior and what a good person he was.
