    That’s not a brace. He’s a Jedi. He lost his arm to Darth Gangsta

      Damn. Even with the big gloves Eubank hits with great power. Groves hits very hard too but I think Eubank will knock him out. Eubank has improved a lot. I doubt he will lose any fights anytime soon.I think he would KO Saunders now.

        eubanks is wild. alw ays has been. this sparring partner is hellishly slow and he still puts leather on eubanks early on. they traded hooks and eubanks chin was literally straight up in the air. i mean erally, WTF are you doing getting hit with that shot by such a slow opponent?

        they were smart to keep him away from golovkin when he was at MW, the guy is too easy to hit.

          Not sure I'd call that "Rage." , more like hard sparring. Looking forward to the fight though as they both have entertaining personalities...

            The most unsettling thing is he was getting soundly countered at times. Imagine if that was groves countering him.

            Junior is gonna have to be sharper.

                What annoys me about the Eubank Parade is that it's all just so gimmicky and for-show that even if there is some real talent there (and I'm sure there's something there), I'm past caring before this ride has even barely gotten started. Not a fan of hype, even less a fan of self-hype. Eubank Jr is way too externalised for my liking. By that, I mean that he is too focussed on what others think of him, to the point that his entire personality appears to be a brand and a persona rather than anything having to do with real character

                Let's get it right, dealing with walking in Daddy's shadow is nothing like working your way up from the bottom (as is the case with most boxers), I suspect that Chris is soft at heart - hence these weird displays of bravado and machismo. Beating up on sparring partners, in my opinion, is the mark of either:
                a) a real bad man; or
                b) a try-hard

                Eubank Jr is not a real bad man. I think he will get found out at some point, much like Chavez Jr, i.e. good but not great

                  Spot on.. When he throws he ends up on his toes and sticks his chin way up there. His sparring partner was extremely slow and was still hitting him quit easily. Chris can look good but at the same time be extremely sloppy.

                    Look, I'm not sold on him either but he is far from soft. That is the one thing he has displayed time and time again, a chin and the heart for a fight. Unlike a lot of boxer's sons, he comes to fight and doesnt just talk the talk.

                      Maybe my expectations are too high but just going off what 'English' has said about Eubank Jr, we should not be surprised to see him showing a LOT of heart down the line. I'm just saying that I'll be surprised if I ever see him in the kind of fight that requires him to dig deep, maybe getting knocked down a couple of times, going through a real war, and getting the win... I think Eubank Jr is more like the type where if you can get to him once, you take the wind out of his sails and disrupt him completely. Time will tell
