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.

Yes it was.
How much that means on the other hand...
Jacobs has been mentioning Golovkin so maybe jumps straight in to a unification.

Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
Eubank Jr couldn't even beat Saunders. I doubt he beats Jacobs

He did best Saunders in one of the judges eyes though and a large portion of those watching.
Its undeniable that his career in the lead up was not ideal to prepare him for facing a good boxer and mover and its also undeniable that Saunders had a surprisingly good apprenticeship all be it against british and euro level of unbeaten fighters.
Still Eubank pushed him hard and finished the 12 stronger!
Just put it down to a learning fight. Eubank wouldnt have had to do a great deal more to get the win and will get the win in any rematch.
Jacobs is nothing special and apparently cant take a good shot either.
-
Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
I think we have to be fair Eubank Jr , yes he lost to Saunders , but this weekend he beat Spike O'Sullivan.
However you cant give Jacobs too much credit for his last win and here's why.
The unbeaten Kid Chocolate fought a draw with WBO belt holder Andy Lee - who is fighting Saunders at the weekend - Jacobs surprised many by beating Kid Chocolate inside 1 round. So it is very harsh of anyone to even think that Jacobs even deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Eubank JR.
We all know Eubank didn't want to floor O'Sullivan and was just wanting to go as many rounds as possible. , so give Eubank some credit please because people like Violent Demise are being unfair to suggest that Jacobs has a chance against Eubank jr.

I actually agreed with one of the judges and had eubank wining by two points. Saunders knows he got lucky and no way agrees to a rematch if he beats Lee
-
Eubanks has a ton of bad habits and can be stopped like any man. Jacobs knocking him spark out is well within the bounds of reason, if Lee doesn't get there first. If Jr ever fights Golovkin he will realise how clueless showboating looks after being caught flush round after round. Spike, Saunders etc had no problem connecting so it will be interesting to see what happens when someone with a bit of a crack lands one on him.

Apparently OSullivans power is up there. Master reckons he did some power punch test thing.
Edit, sorry it wasnt master it was Tam!

I meant i'd give Jr a "chance" against any middleweight apart from Golovkin (who would kill him). Whether or not he wins I don't know. Jacobs, Lee and Canelo are the other belt holders. He's not a big underdog against any of them.

Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
Eubank was quality against Spike because he threw power punches throughout the fight and did not stop. Those uppercuts were brutal. Eubank has improved since Saunders in the sense that he is more confident he can go 12 hard rounds.

His fitness is phenomenal!
He beats Blackwell then Jacobs and Golovkin has a real test on his hands!
And before I get shot down for being ridiculous just remember what you all said about my opinion on Fury;D

At this moment in time triple G rips Eubank but give it a year or two and then it will be a good close fight.

"You all said?" You was arguing with a few of your fellow Saddo pals ross. You wasn't the only person that picked, or wanted Fury to win.
You said Fury would KO Wlad with ease. He won a boring unmemorable pitter-patter fight on PTS. Nobody can shoot you down as you live in a world of your own.

Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
Bit of argy bargy over on Twitter. The gist being because Fat Mick won the purse bid for the Blackwell fight, Jnr can fuck off from the Matchroom deal.

Jnr is allowed to leave matchroom because fat mick won the purse?

Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
Blimey, that was short lived. No chance Matchroom will let him back on SKY. Madness.

Re: Eubank Jr was the most impressive this weekend
Eubank fighting on a free channel, channel 5 against a fellow british rival is not a bad move for his career.
Why would it be a better move to fight on Sky and on Pay perview than a channel everyone gets that is free?
Hearn has already been saying he can come back. Course he can, he knows Eubank is going to be huge!
-
If Fat Mick wins purse bids , he's got no choice but to fight and get paid on his bill. He'll definitely be with Matchroom after that, in fact I don't think this fight will happen.
Eubank is mandatory for a World Title shot. He'll swerve the British title shot.
