Eubank Junior Prospect or not? Empty Eubank Junior Prospect or not?

Seems decent against the opponents he is facing currently but he dosn't seem to have the power. His speed is good but isn't amazing and I wonder if he can take a dig. Early days yet though!

definetly a prospect, he speed is better than good, and 7 fights is still early in his career

Prospect without a shadow of a doubt. Difficult to gauge what skill level he's at as its earlh days, but in a couple of years I would be suprised if he wasn't seen as a genuine contender.

When I first saw him I thought he would go far. Now I'm not so sure. He looks very predictable, especially tonight.

I hope he does gradually work his way up. He has definitely been picking up a few tips from his da and his division could do with some newish contenders such as him

I think he mainly looked predictable because there was no pressure on him to need to do anything, because he was having it all his own way, in the past he has mixed it up far better when he's had to.

His dad needs to get out of the way and let the kid breathe, that's the most important thing. It's becoming too much of a nostalgia trek for people wanting to relive the 90s and the boxer appears to have become a sideshow.

I don't think Chris has yet worked out exactly what type or style of fighter he is, which is not all that surprising given such a lack of experience. Once he settles on a style that is authentically his, then we'll have a good grasp of where he can go.

As it stands I'd say European level is the absolute ceiling as the power to keep off strong opposition is lacking, but that might change if he's given chance to establish his own identity as a fighter.

Continuously throwing lead uppercuts even though they were hitting gloves is pretty stupid.

Looks decent but if he doesn't develop power and try to adapt his own style and not his fathers he will find it hard to compete at world level.

He has been tested already and will hopefully continue to develop at only 23 with little amateur experiance

He might have to do a lot of hard 12 rounds consistently throughout his career and can't afford to have too many bad days as he doesn't have the power to turn a fight on its head

He should show more variety. I reckon its experience or the lack of. I'll reserve judgement, but I cant see him going past euro level anytime soon.

You, you....KNOB

Didn't you know you're not allowed to use a boxers performances to judge him? You haven't got enough experience to judge this BLAH BLAH.

Sorry, your mate annoys me.

I think he'll get to Euro/Fringe level, but no further. He's probably going to get matched quite tough in the next few fights, we'll see how he copes.

Anyone else think the size difference between him and his opponent was a bit ridiculous? And that hashtag on the back of his shorts, my god....

I quite liked # but yeah, he looked WAAAAAAAAAAY bigger than his opponent, who looked like a small WW.
