    Against Dmitry Chudinov on Feb. 28th on the Fury-Hammer undercard

    Pretty tough opponent considering he couldn't even get past Saunders.

    Not a title shot by any means it's for the 3rd sting WBA belt

    And chudinov should stop him I think

    He relied on uppercut alone in the Saunders match.
    The kid has talent but needs a new approach in my opinion

    Billy Joe seemed to rock him a few times Chudinov should be able to stop him.

    Not sure what SNR is playing at here. JNR needs a new trainer and needs to work on some fundamentals. He isnt ready for this.

    For the WBA's #3 Middleweight belt.

    Who is holding the "regular" belt at the moment anyway? :conf
    Golovkin has the "Super" (legit) one, Chudi fights Eubank's son for the "interim" one, but who is that other pretender?

    Mehdi Bouadla is one of only 3 men to survive going the distance with Golovkin, but Chudinov stopped him in 3, but Abraham stopped in 8 and Kessler in 6 as well. So I'm not sure if we can read anything into that but its worth considering.

    Chudinov hits pretty hard.

    If Eubank Jr fights the same against Chudinov as he did against Saunders then its going to be a painful night. He had no choice but to step up again, as he's not learning from the level of fighter he was facing before Saunders. Also this fight sort of keeps him relevant.

    Not sure wheres he's going to go from here. He's not got enough pop on his shots to take him anywhere and he doesn't have the technical ability to beat the top level.

    i will be hoping to see a far more professional attitude from eubank this time around . im hoping this guy can still become something but i think a lot of changes need to be made , the biggest one of all being senior taking a back seat and letting the kid develop as a fighter and not as a clone .

    The problem is he's quite old to be developing. How many losses will he get before he's developed enough to fight for a world title.

    If he had crazy KO power then that could have seen him get somewhere. I don't think he hits hard enough.

    I was in the arena fairly close to the ring and the only one I saw who looked remotely rocked was Saunders, he did the same back peddling Chisora did.

    What's the Over/Under on how many press conferences Junior misses?
