Comments Thread For: Photos: Chris Eubank Jr. Training in Beast Mode For DeGale

Look - I don't profess to be aware of the mostly unknown fighters that Eubank Jr has fought, but yeah he's fit. And yeah he's too vain. He can box, but so can most of the kids down at the YMCA. He lost to BJS, and looked terrible there - terrible footwork, lunging right hands. And he beat a washed up Arthur Abraham who was somehow content to just stand there and accept Eubank Jr teeing off on him.

He loses this one.

Zab Judah always looks fast.
Amir Khan is always ready to "return to class form"
Ishe Smith is always fired up before a loss.
Eubank Jr. will always "look good" physically and training.

But the results at a certain point in their careers always ends up being the same.

EU bank has the potential but his father should stay away from him and let the corner do its work.

Honestly Eubank's greatest strength is he's a fighter and he learns from his defeats. I remember someone like Ricky Hatton just giving up after losing to Mayweather and PAcquiao. That's not a fighter, that's a quitter.

After Eubank struggled against BJS in the first half of that fight, he learnt that this skills wouldn't always be enough, so he walked through BJS to get to him and he almost won that fight. One more round, he'd have taken it, and he was a novice then.

He's used that philosophy ever since. Walk through the opponent to win if you have to. But it didn't work against Groves. Now he knows he has to improve his skills.

He's a slow learner, but win or lose against DeGale he will come back because he's a real fighter
