Deserves a thread of it own!
What a fight...
Take nothing away from Blackwell who showed immense guts to keep going when others would have been stopped.
He looks distraught at losing the fight, but the right call has been made.
Eubank Jr dominated this fight for most of the rounds - landing the eye-catching punches and moving out of the way of Blackwell.
The challenger never appeared to be in any trouble, and although he looked as if he was tiring, he did more than enough in the early round to have won this on points had it gone the distance.
Blackwell would have probably needed a knockout to retain his title and with his eye closing and blood coming out of his nose, this looked a distant chance.
Eubank Jr marches on to bigger and better things - what chance of a re-match with Billy Joe Saunders?

Blackwell stretchered to hospital with a massive swelling over his eye, hope he's ok.
