Chris Eubank Jr? a good prospect or a cheap imitation?

Way to early to say. Give the lad time. Silly thread and thread title.

 

I hope he's good. I was a big fan of his dads

 

looks like he has some skills. he is so fluid for his age

 

He most definitely is NOT coached by Eubanks senior!!! Infact rumour is that there has been a falling out of late (dont know how substantiated that is). What is certain is that his early development was at the hands of the Body Snatcher! Great call that by Eubannks senior who having reluctantly accepted that junior wanted to be a boxer insisted that he doit the old school way... he called on his good friend McCallum to develop his boy! I dont know who the regular coach is now.... but it certainly aint Eubanks senior who neither has the time or the disposition to be a full time coach! Seems its you who knows very little.... Shardonay my dearest:nut

 

I remember Daddy Eubank saying he didn't want little Christopher to be a boxer altogether

 

BALLACKS MATE!!! If you dont know that ur mate Ricky was a train crsh waiting to happen after Floydy beat the living **** out of him and whatever resitance was left... then as Uncle Rog would say " you dont know **** bout baxing!!!"

I suppose the battering he took at the hands of the feather fisted Lazczno didnt manage to ring any alarm bells in your nogging!!! dear oh dear!!!atsch

 

Eubank Sr is helping a lot with the technical side of training, believe it or not. But it's Scott Welch and Ronnie Davies who are putting him through his paces each day and sparring professional light-heavy/cruiser/heavies (including Tony Oakey, Herbie Hide and Welch himself). Eubank Jr spent a lot of time in Angola recently training with New Yorker Maximo Pierret, the guy Eubank Sr says taught he himself how to box.

Mayweather Sr had him for a while in Vegas, and before that McCallum had him for a while.

Eubank Sr was a guest at Mike Tyson's camp for the Lennox fight and was very impressed with McCallum's knowledge when he took Tyson on the pads and showed him new tricks!

Similarly, Eubank Sr was a guest Ricky Hatton's camp for the Pac fight and was very very impressed with what Mayweather Sr was teaching Hatton on the pads.

I guess the 'official' trainer as of now would be Scott Welch. But Eubank Jr certainly learned most of his technical aspects from McCallum, Mayweather Sr and Pierret.

 

Daryl Setterfield is another guy who gives Eubank Jr good sparring. And he's sparred quite abit with Darren Barker.

 

Hey cheers some great insights there.... sounds like its coming from someone close to the camp. i am a bit sorry though that he didnt stick around in the states and continue to train and grow there.... staying there under the tutelage of McCallum would have been prefferable!

 

It was purely accomodation/sponsor, otherwise he'd still be with McCallum.

He goes out to Angola with his dad to spar with the Angola Olympic Team! Sr plans to take him around the New York City gyms this summer for yet more variety of sparring.

 

i've seen the kid training with his daddy, the body snatcher trained him when he first got into boxing.

 

oh deary me for sme reason you think i'm a hatton fan!

 

Apologies if ur not!!! I can now approach you with a modicum of respect! good on ya lad!!!:happy

 

Well he did win the Nevada State golden Gloves, Western Regional Golden Gloves within his 1st 8 bouts
He's back in the Uk now
