When you were born, you dad looked at you and said what a handsome lad my boy is, he's going to be quite the ladies man. He didn't foresee the years of cruising the streets looking for lads that looked like Freddie Mercury and then doing the big "pillow bite" hahahahaha
Being the ignorant fuck that you are you probably would be disappointed that your son had not turned out to be just as stupid as his old man but I am quite sure my Dad would not have batted an eyelid had I turned out to be Gay. This has nothing to do with rose coloured spectacles, Eubank senior has just pumped the bellows and further inflated his sons already massive head and ego. That is not going to do him any favours and has about as much to do with supporting your child as the same ignorant deluded idea that wearing jodhpurs and a monocle has anything to do with being a gentleman.

Do not forget that Chris senior was spooked out by the idea that Collins ( who himself is hardly a master tactician) had gained an unfair advantage by using a hypnotist. What kind of empty worthless self confidence is that ? Junior has a rude awakening awaiting if he thinks he can go through both the middle and super-middle weight division like a hot knife thru butter. The guy is one currant short of a toasted tea cake and his old mans theory has more holes in it than a crumpet.
