    I'm not a fan of either fighter so i come into this fight neutral, but i'm sorry his Roy Jones Jr impression was just cringe, his clowning about the entire fight was cringe. I don't mind some flashy boxing here and there, but it wasn't flashy or stylistic or slick, it was just a clown show.

    It's a pity the knockdown in the 11th round was wrongfully called. I actually thought Williams still had a chance to win the fight.

    First few stanzas, he had even skeptics believing prime Roy had somehow successfully reincarnated in the body of a clodhopping public schoolboy from Brighton, England. Then reality came crashing in and the illusion fell apart as he began leaking rounds to 'Beefy's Son'.

    This RJJ version of Junior has been pretty horrible viewing, especially that final round tonight.

    Eubank Jr is a complete tosspot and poser who’s nowhere near as good as he pretends to be.

    The wide scorecards at the end suggest they were going to give it to CEJ anyway.

    "I didn't want to knock him out, I wanted to punish him".

    He said this after literally running away for the entirety of the 12th round. Stopping occasionally to dance.

    He does move like Roy Jones. The 40 year old version.

    The Eubank of the Blackwell, O'Sullivan, Arthur or even the Degale fight was a far more aggressive, hard hitting and ruthless fighter who I would happily go out of my way to watch.

    He was spiteful with a ridiculous output level at times and would have put a horrific beating on the surprisingly fragile Williams we saw tonight and consequently would have had the boxing fraternity excited about what was next for EJ.

    Now though, I actually see the top names being rather dismissive and EJ will likely continue on his run of doing just enough to beat the next 'has been' or 'never was'. In a word, disappointing.

    He is definition of being cringe. I couldn't focus the fight due to his cringe attitudes. It's a shame only Blow Job Saunders and George Groves broke his ego. He need some better beatings. I hope veteran Lil G beats him.

    After the first few rounds that was the more irratating performance I've ever seen.
    Not sure what was up with Williams he looked really hurt in round 2 but as for Jnr saying he wanted to punish him. You've got to land shots to do that he Eubank only managed that sporadically while shipping some decent right hands himself.

    The Eubank that fought spike was a better fighter and more entertaining than the ones we saw last night.. If he was trying to build a fan base hes just lost them. I haven't seen that kind of lateral movement late in the fight since Oscar V Tito.

    Early Promise squandered by trying to copy his trainer even his stance had changed. Awful to watch.

    He doesn't beat many of the top 10 based on that. Too much movement, not enough landed shots and at times left himself open..

    Despite the antics and bravado I actually thought before the fight that Eubank might acc be a decent guy who just likes being a bit of a panto villain. Now I’m convinced that he’s just a massive bellend lol

    I thought he left himself very open and backed up with his chin waving high in the air. One thing I noticed with him being on his bike is his foot movement isn't as bad as it was when he used to fight on the front foot and wing shots and fall off balance constantly. That said, he's noticeably slower and not just because he was choosing to potshot.

    I was not impressed at all by CEJ's performance. Way too much dancing and showboating, wtf did he do in the 12th round?
    I will not watch any of his fight again unless it is again a top10 fighter, which I doubt will happen. I think he is gonna stick to this kind of opposition...
    Did not throw a single combo and was sometimes painful to watch. I seriously hope somebody is gonna make him eat his ego raw soon.
    Any decent middleweight should jump on the occasion to fight him and put a name on his record. I also dont think he is gonna mention Golovkin soon again. GGG would destroy him only with his jab!

    One of the biggest con artists in boxing - he's 32 and still not won a real world title. He started his career doing an impression of his father and is ending it doing an impression of a legend. And he doesn't want to be himself because he knows deep down, he's not good enough. The clowning around last night was his way of distracting us from an increasingly unimpressive performance. Another con trick.

    Only his sturdy chin and stamina have masked the reality he's bang average. Soon that stamina will start to decline and his chin will get tested more often. He's gonna end his career laid out on the canvas...
