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.

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

Originally posted by soul_survivor View PostLook, 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.
