    no power. good night.

    na seriously he can throw wicked fast shots from all angles, his volume is great. his footwork isnt that good, thus he gets schooled by saunders again. but he may aswell come down to 160lbs because the 168lbers would blast a whole through him.

    He's more entertaining than Snr was, puts on a show the kid. More a pressure fighter than a guy who loads up on single shots.

    His power isn't top notch to say the least but the sheer volume of shots he can reel off is impressive.

    No he doesn't have real stoppage power but the beatings he has put on opponents seem to
    come from throwing lots of punches and accumulation of damage . He seems to do so much
    long term damage because he isn't able to finish the job and keeps on landing punches. You
    are at a far higher risk of long term injury after taking a high volume of weaker punches from
    someone like Eubank than from being cleaned out by one punch ala Martinez vs Williams or
    Nunn vs Kalambay.

    You're doing with GGG what you did with Klitschko for years. Looks like you don't learn from your mistakes.

    As long as you don't go to the ropes and get hit with uppercuts you'll be fine.

    This. He isn't improving. The same weaknesses he had a couple years ago are still there and I also see Saunders beating him again.

    I just don't get how Eubank can't knock out people when he has great speed and leverage, putting all his body behind his punches.
    But he's a savage and taking a beating for 12 rounds is always worse than been stopped by one punch in a few rounds.

    He doesn't sit on his punches at the expense of quick hands. I know you all seen the left hook he landed from across the ring that did buckle Reynold maybe round 3 or 4. But yeah, he could add power if he sits on it more.
