    Etches looks really small for his weight.He looks 5'8.BJS is another guy that looks small.Eubank jr looks big though like a bona fide super middle rather than middle.

    He has 0 defence, Eubank bashes him up.

    Etches does the basics well.. But you can't help think he's quite robotic when he's moving around. Shot selection & range is there - obviously not lacking in power.

    He's flying up the IBF rankings by taking all these titles and appears to be a ticket seller.
    I can see him staying around on the scene for quite a while, he'll do well.

    Think Etches is taller than you think,mate. Probably five ten or even eleven. But he doesn't look as though hell struggle to make middle,unlike,as you say,Eubank. Don't know how he does it,and it could well be a factor IF he fights Saunders. I think Etches can be at the very least interesting. Like to see him and Ryder.

    I agree with people saying he's robotic, lacks defence and doesn't do some of the basics in boxing....

    However his attack and Power Are top notch :bbb

    Both my brothers have met Etches more than once socially and have mutual friends. Both said he's very ignorant and arrogant.

    Been hearing a lot of hype surrounding this kid Etches watched him fight the other night for the first time...well put it this way what a let down very average Eubank would destroy him with ease ..

    sounds like you wanted to not be impressed and you desperately want Eubank Jnr to beat him.......:!:
