Thoughts on Eubank Jr and the wild, missing punches amateur display..
What is his next step?
Learn to box?
He can start by getting a proper trainer and base, start again at the beginning, learn the basic fundamentals.
Retire as Naz said
His corner was embarrassing - couldn't even tell the lad what round it was!!
Depends on his goals. If he wants to try to be world class like Fenster said he needs to learn to box. From his feet up he needs to learn it all.
If he wants to make some exciting fights and some money just get back in the ring with the best opponent he can get.
There are some fun domestic fights for him at 160 and 168, I hope this loss humbles him enough to snuff out that arrogance. Learn to walk before you can run and all. Drop his dad, get a proper trainer and get straight back in the gym next week and start learning the basics.
He waits too late to turn it up. Actually, I felt he won the Saunders fight. But he clearly lost the Groves fight. Eubank simply needs to get in the habit of fighting for 12 rounds EVERY round. He can't wait until the near end to turn up every single time.
Eubank Junior is an athletic person but can not box at a world class level. Just clueless and everyone at that level would simply outbox him every time.
Hmmmmmmm, 24 hours can make a big difference I suppose.Quote:

Not because I can't stand Jr but because it would mean that the winner had already been beaten and it would devalue the competition, would they consider putting the date of the final back to allow groves to recover or is the date of the final set in stone?
That's if Groves injury is bad enough to rule him out of the current date of the final anyway.
Don't say things like that out loud mate. Fuck ...it makes your teeth hurt just thinking about it. :-\Quote:

Eubank was truly awful, he never threw a jab, was not active and just stood off. His attacks were amateurish.Quote:

1. He thought he did enough
2. Groves head butted him a lot during the fight, doesn't know how he got away with it.
3. He'll either replace Groves in the final, or fight Truax, or go back down to MW, or fight DeGale or some other such fucking fantasy nonsense.
Sudden turnaround is because Eubank Junior was so poor beyond belief.Quote:
