Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
And its not even close. Papa took a back seat for the most part which was nice. Kids taking more of the Alpha status now. He looked great and ready for anybody. That was a systematic break down of a quality operator with a Kid Gavilan chin. Speaking of beards Jr has an underrated one. He took some heavy shots. He showed a real tough guy side and almost looked like a cross between Nigel Benn and his old man. He didn't seem eager to meet Lee but seems to genuinely want Saunders again. You get the Charlo brothers probably moving up over the next year or so and you got a pretty good division developing and may even become top heavy. Right now its Golovkin and the rest and its most likely just Lee that would be willing to unify. Some of these super talented younger guys could be coming around at a great time.
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
He definitely looks the part and the best thing is that there is still loads of things he can work on as well.
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
He has a strong chin , and to be fair he has much more punch variety in his locker than his father.
GGG would be a big ask.
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
He needs 4 or 5 more fights before even thinking about GGG, if Booth can iron out the flaws Jr can go all the way.
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
He beats Jacobs.
I think I saw me tioned they might put Blackwell in with him next.

that would be a good test for eubank
I like that fight
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
I think he beats Jacobs too. Jacobs can whack but Junior seems to have inherited his Old Mans chin. Eubank can come through what Jacobs can dish out. I don't believe the reverse is true.
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
I think his power is a little overrated but in cameos he looks electric. Barring GGG he's a great fight - can win - against anyone at middleweight. Someone like N'Dam would be terrific if they don't go staight for Jacobs. I like Blackwell, underrated fighter, but that looks a step backwards.

eubank still needs experience though
he only has 3 names on his record that you could call decent and he lost one of those
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
without looking through is record I can't remember who the 3rd name on his record would be, BJS and Spike but who is the other one?

Dmitry Chudinov.
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
Ah of course, that fight completely slipped my mind
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
Think Blackwell gets destroyed by Eubank. Doubt hed beat Spike. Just looking at the rankings. How the fuck is Alfonso Blanco number 1 with the WBA? Wouldnt be surprised to see Eubank have a final eliminator against him.

Wasn't Saturday's fight a final eliminator?
Yes it was.
How much that means on the other hand...
Jacobs has been mentioning Golovkin so maybe jumps straight in to a unification.
