But Jr. Has no head movement. Or does that only matter for Brook?
Jr does move his head quite a lot actually. More so his upper body. Been a few times in his fights he lets the opponent fire off shots while he slips them all showing off.
Brook comes from the ingle gym and head movement or being elusive is one of the things their fighters are known for. I think whats happened with Brook is hes been able to boil down to welter and enjoys such a strength advantage that hes fallen in love with his strength. That doesnt translate when he fights at a more natural weight though and if he had used more of the ingles style maybe hed have heard the final bell.
Jr. Has no head movement whatsoever, certainly nowhere near as much as Brook. And as for this "upper body movement ", that's a different thing and it won't stop him getting KTFO. In his only "decent level" fight so far against Saunders, he lost the first 6 rounds because he had no answer to Saunders's movement and Saunders was hitting him fairly easily. In the next 6 rounds, he won about 4 of those, certainly no more out of desperation and Saunders's poor stamina.
Neither of those scenario will help him against GGG. He's too easy to hit and he doesn't hit hard enough to deter GGG from walking him down. The only thing that will keep Eubank in the fight for a bit longer is his seriously good conditioning, but getting hit harder than you've ever been hit before takes that out of you as well.
I would rather GGG tells Eubank to fuck off and fights Jacobs or Degale. Although I seriously doubt Degale gets in the ring with him.
Eubank can carry on fighting British level and maybe end up along with Saunders , conning the British public a bit more with a meaningless rematch.
