Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr. Targets Jermall Charlo: He Hasn't Fought Anyone, Weak Wins!

[Citizen Koba]

Charlo has only fought at middleweight a handful of times and Eubank see's he is bigger and night be able to get by a bit of a name here .It's just typical Eubank who knows he's limited.

Jr was pretty undersized at 168 to my eye... kinda borne out by the fact that he moved back down to 160 at 30 years old - the age when most guys move up to their natural class as rehydrating gets tougher on the body.

I'd suspect that if these two ever get in the ring together Jermall will be coming in as the bigger guy. In fact Jermall's following the more usual progression, moving up a division in his mid 20s as he fills out and then again at around 30 as the cut gets harder.

I'm curious to see if Jermell moves up as and when Jermall goes to 168, cos honestly he's past due, and these are quite big boys even for 160.

"...and Eubank Jr. capture the WBA's interim-belt when he stopped Matt Korobov in two rounds due to injury."

When he stopped Matt Korobov? Eubank Jr. hasn't shown me enough yet, but Dervy has. Charlo vs. Dervy! Make It Happen! MAN UP!

I'd tune in to watch this. My money would be on Charlo.

Korborov was lighting him up in the first round before he had to retire and beating a punch drink Degale is still his 'signature win'.

I don't see this 'animal' that Eubank claims to be, all I see is a big ego and mouth with very limited boxing skill / fundamental and a strong engine / output.

That's what I remember from the abbreviated fight against Korobov. The Russian was strafing him and it appeared it would be a long night for Junior and then Mattvey freakishly injured his shoulder.

I'd still be interested to see this fight, Eubank Jr will keep coming and keep throwing, his chin appears very solid...Charlo is the more skilled fighter but I'd like to see how he deals with Eubank trying to maul him.

Eubank Jnr is pretty good a self promotion, just like his old man always was.

Only problem being that he is just not top tier MW.

This is 100% the right take. Sucks, with a great engine, still....s-. S-. Ss. S-s. Ssss~
Don't even get me started on that asinine "Karma" spiel after dodging the Korobov bullet. What a ****ing clown. Part of me wants this guy to eventually find a golden Canelo ticket in his chocolate bar purely for the schadenfreude aspect.

Make it happen.

Should look at his own resume before criticising anybody else ..

Very much agree. Dervy should certainly be the next challenger for Charlo’s title. Then he can take on Eubanks. Although I don’t view Eubanks as a bad opponent, I think charlo could comfortably outpoint him. But Eubanks has guts and conditioning so he’d make it interesting.

Eubank Jr. needs a fight to shine in, before he gets a title shot from Charlo. He should fight someone like Ronald Ellis or Willie Monroe Jr.. On the other hand Dervy has proven that he's worthy of a title shot ASAP!

Again, who is Eubank Jr? Keith Sweat just said "Nobody"
