Ive read abit about his amature fights and seen a couple on you tube, the guy has talent and looks pretty slick, Im unsure if hes turned pro yet?! Anyone got any info/views? I follow him on facebook and he posts some really stupid shit?!? Theres already comparisons to his dad been raised which i thinks abit daft considering how early days it is yet, his dad was one of the best british super mids!
Watched him yesterday and he seems the complete package. He is making the most of his dads reputation and making himself sell. He is seasoned already even though it was his first fight as he has sparred in the US, against Cleverly and Groves. Junior is level headed and id dedicated to the game, he was flawless. I know he is has a long way to go but he could not have done better.
Yes i like JR seem's to be a good fighter, is he on that long road to the top only time will tell.?;D
Was his first pro fight last night, he looked every bit as good as you'd hope.
He's been touring America apparently, sparring with some of the biggest names.
bit of excitement and buzz over him.... he looked great last night for his first pro fight :cool::cool::cool:
Yeh i thought chris jr looked fit and sharp.......... But bollox im gona be critical!! I no it was the guys first bout but the bloke he was fightin was very limited, he did nothing but defend with a very high gaurd! It seemed jr was more bothered about struting about than using his boxing brain to get an early ko, I cant help thinking all the other upcoming fighters (ie degale, groves,saunders etc) in there 1st bout would of switched to body shots+found away thru the gaurd and got him out if there in maybe two rounds?!? Credit where its due though his hands looked quick and he looked in top shape! Im sure there'l be more to come!!!
Looked very good last night, did i hear right that he only had 26 amature fights?
This guy is going places. He's not like the Camacho Jrs or the Pryor Jrs that's for sure.
Hes lucky to have Eubank as a dad if he wants to make it in the pro game. His dad was a hard bastard that learnt the hard way with tough sparring sessions.
Jr gave Cleverly a broken rib in the build up to the Bellew fight and it was Jr who gave Groves the black eye in sparring!
Im sure some will like to see this, I found another sparring session of sr and its pretty intense;)
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
yes he did look the part last night - of course very early days
remember him from At Home With the Eubanks and thought he was a bit of a girl. His dad back then said he 'wasn't hungry enough' to make it in the fight game
obviously grown up
Looked good
Needs an opponent who actually throws back though
That was his first fight, he looked a seasoned professional, and did not know he caused those injuries. Could not get better backing and experience, he is certainly better than the other juniors that we are seeing. He could beat Chavez Jnr now.
I dont know about that much just yet. From what iv seen of Chavez jr he isnt great but does have a chin and keeps coming forward.Quote:

Yes I was exaggerating but the point being he is way ahead of any fighter I have seen in their first pro fight, he may even have to be accelerated to keep him from getting unmotivated and picking up bad habits.Quote:

I like the fact hes picked up the old mans arrogant "simply the best" attitude.
Yes he definitely picking up on where Eubanks left off, it is all entertainment and getting publicity, he has embraced it and he will make a name in his own right after. As I said ticked all the boxes, even loved the 4 minute hype of him training. His dad learned the hard way and Junior has taken it all on board. Only pro fighter I have seen that good was Lennox and Hamed.
He looked alright. Thought he should of finished it earlier
In a years time that same opponent wont get out of at the most, the second round.Quote:

Its easy for us to say because we have no pressure but he does have a nice relaxed, poised style because of the training with top pros. Rather than the stiff tense style you usually see from amateurs making the pro transition.
