Chris Eubank Jnr will batter Saunders

[Master]

Hard work and dedication vs name fame and high expectations through genetics.

I've seen it before in Marvis Frazier, Ronald Hearns and the Chavez brothers.

Eubanks are different breed of family. Dad made sure son really had the abilility before he allowed him to step in the ring.

But he lacks one thing and that's managing adversity. He has not had any. Now maybe he does fine. But this is where a lot before him have failed. In their first taste of it. If this was a natural talent contest he'd win hands down. Personally I can see this fight going either way. Jr steps up and shows he's the real deal or he folds after getting hit flush a few times for the first time.

I think the way he dealt with Benn and Watson and also how he has dictated terms to warren goes some way to proving that eubank can take whats thrown at him and turn it around.

That is his dad and not him. One does not gain the ability to manage adversity through osmosis.

The experience and adversity dad has and faced are priceless and he can pass that knowledge to his son. Still no guarantee junior will be a success but it is an advantage.

Have you read his autobiography Master? you can't not love him after that.

Yes. I think Chris is brilliant but barmy. Remember what he did at his dads funeral?

Yes. I was just telling Maxine about that. The steel of the man.

I thought it was totally inappropriate, there is a time and a place and that was not it to criticise his dad. He got chased out of the town!

Haha. Yeah it was totally the wrong place. But I had to admire his single-mindedness.

Ftr Jr could have been chomping at the bit for this moment. To climb out from behind his fathers boot straps and become his own man. Could be his most liberating time as a young fighter.

Btw, the irony of this thread becoming about his father did not go unnoticed

[smashup]

Would be a very interesting rematch, Eubank just needs to seriously up his work rate and throw way more punches and also start boxing from the first bell instead of the 5-6 round.

I'd lose Eubank snr too at least get him the fuck out of my corner during fights.

Saunders boxed clever and deserved the win but I think Eubank should have just swarmed him from the start and must be kicking himself now.

Bad tactics most probably from his dads gameplan hoping BJS would run out of steam then be a sitting duck for the KO.

[smashup]

Haha have you seen the post fight video on youtube of Saunders saying " fair play to Eubank but he's still a cunt" funny stuff



This kinda sums up what I think of Eubank snr interfering

Jnr didn't do anything in the first 5 rounds....if only he had done more it might of been a win

never mind Jnr will hopefully learn from that and be even better

Good fight and well done to the winner


Job Biscuit (Great night of boxing...apart from the Main...which was crap)!!!!


eh eh!!!

I liked Eubank Sr he came into the Ring to simply the best, he stood there like a Greek god
it was marvellous TV great entertainment.

I think his dad is one of the greatest super mids that has ever lived. Cal may have never got past him a couple of years earlier.

This is a real test for his son and I like both him and Saunders. I'm merely saying that this is the kids first real test.

I never said his dads wisdom is not valuable. Of course it is but it can also go extreme the other way when a father starts reliving his own life through his son.

The point I'm making is that you never know how you will deal with adversity until you are in it.
