    Reminds me of when Amir Khan 1st started. Throws good quick combinations but looks vunerable and seems a knockout waiting to happen. I know he is learning due to lack of amatuer fights but seems to lack power atm also a defence. Can also be "slappy" with some combinations a bit like de gale but not with the reflexes. Thoughts on his future?

    Agreed with you mate. I think one day he will get a shock and put on his ass and KTFO as you said its a KO waiting to happen and IT WILL. he gets to sloppy sometimes

    Not seeing it to honest. He is fighting tough guys but he should be showing more. So wild, so open

    For where his is, I like him a lot.

    We seen what happened tonight to Brook... all the ability, but hasn't banked enough hard rounds to know what to do when faced with stern opposition.

    Eubank is getting this in early, with tough fights. Yes, he needs some 'polishing', but that will come with time. What he is getting is experience of being tested, and he's 'learning' to come through. As for 'lacking power'... come on now... what exactly do you expect? He is young and inexperienced... he will develop 'man strength' in time. He's putting the right things, in the right place, in the right order for the long term... I wish more were brought through like him.

    Brook got found out somewhat tonight, Khan got exposed a few times, both have exceptional ability, so where has it went wrong for them? That, I can't answer, but I suspect that Eubank will not make the same mistakes.

    I think the boy will go far.

    They're mixing him with tough ****s, he's still very raw but has the talent. Nice to see he's not just going to stagnate against pay cheque journeymen.

    His punch selection is pathetic, and against a fighter who remotely knows how to defend themselves his accuracy can be hilariously bad - so damn amateurish.

    As for this speed people talk of, I don't see it.

    I like he is gettin the rounds in against tough fighters but would like him to use his brain and box with defence coz when he does step up in level of fighters and tries to "force the defence" on his style.he wil quickly fall out of that under pressure.

    i think the level of opposition hes being matched with is ****ing tough for this point in his career. i think a lot of people are overlooking this. i think his dads trying to sort of create an atmosphere where he is really being challenged.

    one things for certain, hes not going to be back in the gym in a week or so thinking that this pro game is easy.... that said at the moment he certainly doesnt look like the next pbf...

    Tonight was not the best of nights for British boxing. Eubank looked ordinary and so did Brook. Shame really

    Jr looks a bit short of the natural talent needed to be a dominant world champ.

    Good to see he is not being protected and they are toughening him up for the day his chance does come 20 fights down the road. For now he has a lot to learn but I don't see a reason why he won't learn.

    Looking forward to watching him develop. I'll be watching because his fights are exciting.

    I think he should be looking at 20+ fights before going for the British title but he does have potential. Hes very very active too, so i think thats a realistic figure. He should be out another2 or 3 times this year with similar oppositon to this, maybe pick up the Southern Area soon.

    He's being put in with people whom can operate.

    He's not being put in with euro-bums that fight out of their local pub.

    I think it's hard to tell how far he can go, it's hard to see if he will replicate what his father achieved, but he shouldn't be judged against his father anyways. At the end of the day its just a name.

    Good little boxer, I think he has a promising future!

    Inthink people are getting carried away with his opposition, they are decent fighters, not world beaters or even british level beaters, just decent fighters, and none of this'he is learning'bollocks, eubank jnr has been boxing for years, if he is struggling with every journey man, getting outjabbed and out punched,he is gonna struggle with the top brits.
    he may win a brit title but in no way will he match his daddys career,just cant see it in him at all
