The British middleweight title fight between Chris Eubank Jnr. and Nick Blackwell which left the latter fighter in an induced coma should have been stopped earlier, a leading neurosurgeon said. Blackwell, 25, collapsed in the ring after the fight was called off on Saturday because of swelling over his left eye in round 10. He was found to have a bleed on the brain and was placed in an induced coma in hospital in London where he is still heavily sedated. Surgeon Peter Hamlyn, who operated on Michael Watson when he suffered brain damage in a 1991 fight with Chris Eubank Snr., said medical procedures were followed properly but that the fight should have been stopped. "It was clearly a one-sided fight by the seventh or eighth round and it should have been stopped. He took too many uppercuts and he suffered a blitz," Hamlyn told Britain's Telegraph newspaper.
