    BJS' jab was a joy to behold. The main difference between the fighters. It is the most underrated weapon in the fighter's ****nal.

    Maybe in a funny sort of way this loss will help Eubank. Hopefully he will now realise he needs to improve technically, as at times he looked wild. He also needs to improve his work rate. But I thought he also showed he has heart,chin and decent uppercut.

    In short if he knuckles down and dumps Snr and RD then he has a hope

    But he completely stopped using it In the second half of the fight, made life hard for himself

    I think it was more that Eubank changed tactic and jumped on him in order to close that distance rather than BJS deciding not to use it.

    Blackwell is next in line to challenge for the British and I imagine Billy will now vacate, will Eubank Jr go for it... as previously brought up his old man never won it.

    I think the BJS loss will be a blessing in disguise and a bit of a reality check for Eubank... and his dad ! In the long run it'll make him a better fighter.

    Will be interesting to see how Jr v Blackwell pans out given the numerous rounds of sparring... Blackwell in my eyes probably being the most underrated fighter in the country.
