* Eubank did not learn a thing from the Saunders fight
* he needs a good trainer

Eubank was so wild.
Disappointing to see him constantly swinging.

No trainer is going to make much of a difference in truth he hasn't much to work with certainly not as far as natural ability goes and what athleticism? The guys non stop tripping over his own feet, he has terrible footwork, balance and coordination there's nothing athletic about him. There's no fluidity in anything he does and he has virtually no fundamentals.


In fairness his dads done bloody well to take him as far as he has with what little is there to work with.

Little harsh maybe?I thought he showed heart,chin,speed and he is athletic.But your spot on about his fundamentals thats where he is REALLY lacking.Footwork is a big part of that so that's why he was tripping over himself(it was really bad)its one of the harder things too get down.But the upside is he is still young and the things you cant learn he has.He justs needs to admit it and listen to a good trainer now that might be something he cant/wont do.We will see

People said the same thing after his performance against BJS, yet he showed no progress tonight. Not to say Groves and BJS are the same, but both utilized their jab and movement to attain victory. This should prove to Eubank that he needs a new trainer.

Oh I agree 100% about new trainer and much needed improvement in his skills.But he is young and has some things you cant teach chin,heart,speed and is athletic but his skills esp footwork need major work.

Zurdo is not nearly as skilled as Groves.Still prob pick him right now but fight with JR closer then most think esp right now.

I did notice him favoring his shoulder in the 12?? Something was definetly wrong with it.

I'm not questioning the injury. I'm just doubting this man's credentials in saying that Eubank Jr will replace Groves in the final.

Nice points Eubank just needs to humble himself and get a good trainer because he has heart,chin,speed that you CANT teach.If he learns how to box at THIS LEVEL he can still do something. That's face it even where he is at now he almost made a comeback after GG started gassing.That 12th was REAL tough for GG he was almost gone.But being frustrated and missing all night JR did have the stamina to finish an almost dead GG.

yes. Its true it would all be nice if we got to start something like boxing at a young age, but he can still develop into a much improved fighter. These days punchers have a rough time of it: 12 rounds, not 15, and not a lot of guys teaching how to stalk and set traps... A simple thing like a feint would have helped Junior immeasurably.

Naz and others are bitter because of their own misfortunes.

Another round of failed predictions by the typical people on NSB...


The dudes who said Groves couldn't do it can't be found anywhere right now..BIG SHOCKER.

Jr... Strong attitude. Limited technique. Poor IQ. Nuff said.
