    RJJ sucks as a trainer
    No reason to believe he can train just cause he was a great fighter
    Same way boxers have levels , so do trainers

        Eubank's best attributes were his high output/engine and his iron chin.

        Now he appears to have lost both, it's time to retire before he ends up seriously hurt.

          his new style doesn't fit him at all. he tries to emmulate RJJ with his hands down low and he has this sorry excuse for a jab. this had to come from RJJ.

          he looked horrible.
          Well, not to sound harsh but Roy was 34 as well when he started to get KOed out of nowhere. When you start to get serious competition, them hands have to go up.

            Letting his hands down or copying Jones is not why he lost. He didn't have answer to pressure, which nobody can teach. Erislandy Lara didn't have any answer to it either. He'd rather just cover himself on the ropes or run.

              Yeah, Roy's style pretty much only worked for Roy, who's the best athlete in the history of the sport.

              Just like Ali's style only worked for somebody with his athleticism.

              Eubank Jr. is basically a Black Chavez Jr.

                Took away his strengths and turned him into a very poor version of himself. Nash out

                  Roy jones was effective because he had the fundamentals, reflexes, skills and power. Eubank jr is no roy jones. Eubank jr has flawed fundamentals, WAY lesser reflexes, skills and power. He is at his best when he is throwing a million punches till it stopped working against high level fighters, and this new style is even worse for him. The older version of eubank jr might have fared a tiny bit better.
