    Default Eubank jr is trying too hard!

    To be his dad...

    I think he's a talented kid who is going through the motions at the minute but he's trying way to hard to be his dad! Anyone else notice this?

    Watched his latest fight recently and it was cringeworthy the whole eubank parody thing! It's not even with a sense of irony either.

    Best of luck chris but come on, you're not fooling anybody....There's only one:

    Its true. He needs to find his own path. He needs to keep improving his power shots as well.

    I think Eubank Junior is doing well considering the limited amount of fights he has had. He is way a head of someone who has had the number of fights and whilst it is true he does need to find his own path, he would be a fool to not use the name and brand of his dad. Chris knows the value of entertainment and how to maximise interest and his experience is vital for Junior to be the success he wants to be. Eventually he will find his own style and create his legacy but give the man a chance. I think you are watching him and comparing him with his dad when he was the finished product which is unfair.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think his glaring and general aloofness is pretty cringe worthy, and it is this more than his boxing style to which PHIL was referring. I may be wrong though. At least he hasn't taken to wearing jodhpurs and a monacle.

    Bang on Phil.

    If I were either him or Chavez Jr, I'd ban my old man to the nose bleed section.

    I mean the whole eubank act! Im not talking about his style of fighting! The staredown in between rounds, the sudden change of rhetoric, the contrived swagger, the arrogance etc

    It's cringeworthy. He has obviously been spending far too much time watching eubank HL's on YT! He should make his own, not do a parody!

    It is entertainment, his dad looked a twat as well, come on you know he did.
