Eubank Sr. the REASON...

[Master]

Senior did look a tool in the ring. I am beginning to think he wants the limelight. Junior should tell him to sit in the crowd.

You are right it's not helping his son. He is not terrible but he hardly needs even more pressure at this early stage of his career, and with his stupid statements and peacock strutting, his old man has piled it on him.

Agreed. I have a soft spot for dad but he isn't helping. It was all a bit silly and it seems to have rubbed off.

I think I had it 7-5 for BJS but remember saying the draw is quite possible. But I was quite drunk.
I don't think it's a stretch to score it for Eubank.

If Eubank gets his head down from here, works hard, stops the posturing and silly pot shots I'd back him to win in a rematch.

Despite the BBC's complete lack of attention to boxing which borders on disgraceful Ben Dirs is someone that usually hits the right tone - whilst not claiming to be well versed in the technical nuances. This article is a pretty fair summary of where Eubank finds himself.

I think it said a lesson in the first few rounds.

I think billy joe done very well.

I would love to see the compubox numbers.

8-4 or 7-5 to billy joe.

We know that eubank jr is green but his corner were appalling and should have told him to get his finger out early.

All this jumping ken and ryu uppercuts and bending down so low he kissed the floor was pathetic.

Eubank jr was out smarted and outboxed and the rematch will be the same or worse if billy joe lays of the beers!

The real losers are eubank sr team who watched the wrong fight and gave jr these taxi drivers as opposition.

Regardless of whether you like billy joe or not the better boxer beats the better fighter everyday and his elusive movements frustated jr to a new degree and they both gassed in the last round but stood on their feet until the end..

No it was all a brilliant masterplan, Eubank snr was taking the pressure of Jr by hogging the limelight, it was nothing to do with him trying to relive past glories through his son.

I feel sorry for Jr because it was obvious he was being handled badly.
