    I'm not even entirely sure that's his fault.

    His dad and Ronnie Davies are always talk about how special he is, doesn't need a trainer etc. etc. They have made him the way he is. He'll always come up short against good fighters because the people around him refuse to address his flaws and act like he has a divine right to win.

    The experienced people in his team are deluded, so what chance has Jr got of being realistic.

          Once they walked to the ring you could see the difference groves who had looked shaken in the build up now looked cool calm and confident eubanks demeanor had changed and looked like he had froze and so it proved as groves piled on the rounds he came up against a top level fighter and was easily beaten needs a serious reboot now from top to bottom of his whole set up if hes to one day become a legit world champion

            If Eubank doesn't secure the Truax fight. We'll see him back at 160, begging for a scrap.

                      You're right, and you could almost feel sorry for Eubank Jr when you consider what his upbringing must have been like with a man like Eubank Sr as a role model. They've created a monster like Frankenstein, but unlike Frankenstein this monster does not elicit sympathy. I don't know if Frankenstein seemed more likeable because he could not speak, but I know that it's hard to appreciate Eubank Jr whenever he starts to move his lips.
