He said after that he hurt his left arm and didn't want to hurt it during the bout.
He is going to be a very tough fighter to beat.
Hopefully he takes these Nick Blackwells, John Ryders etc. he is fighting Kerry Hope next on the Fury v Chisora card. If he gets the Saunders fight later this year. He wins.
Saunders doesn't have real middle weight strength or power to keep good fighters off him.
Eubank Jr spent a few days sparring Froch. There are rumours he dropped Carl a couple of times. I wouldn't believe them though, just been started for the sake of it. Would love to know how they went.
I don't know what fight you saw, but Saunders vs Ryder was pretty close. Saunders won, but it was the toughest fight he's had, and he was the first to admit that. As far as Eubank goes, first thing he's gotta do is decide what weight he is. Talk about Froch, Degale and Groves, they're not even in his supposed weight class. Also , he calls himself a middleweight , but he's NEVER fought at that weight.
We won't know about Eubank till he steps up. He needs to fight someone decent, not a 3 days notice job, and he needs a proper training camp and to hit the weight. Then we'll have a much better idea. I reckon at the moment, he might beat Kerry Hope, but Ryder and Saunders both beat him, so do Groves, Froch, Degale and Callum Smith.

Saunders does not beat Eubanks.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

It's 'Eubank', not 'Eubanks'

The only thing I got from that fight was he is way too good to be fighting the guys hes fighting now. He has to move up a level and challenge himself. If not he will end up doin a cleverly or Murray. Fighting a bunch of losers and getting comfortable fighting at his own happy little pace. Then someone will come along whos strong and pressures him. He will not know how to react or how to deal with him. Will he have the heart to fight a battle. Will he be able to adapt and will he be able to think straight when the pressure is on.
These questions need to be asked and he needs tough fights that he can win to train him in this sport.
The last fight was nothing more than an ego booster for young Eubank.
On that note though I think he looks good. He will need a jaw though as he does like to get punched in the face.

He is.
We forget he hasnt been a pro that long.
Billy Joe Saunders at the same point in his career had faced only 9 opponents with a whopping combined 139 losses.
Eubank has faced 15 opponents with only 118 losses but Eubank is the one who takes criticism for the level of his opponent. Its a compliment really as you said to his skill level.
