    This is probably correct.

    And it doesnt do any harm marketing wise.

    I loved it,(no homo) I also loved the way big Chris was stood in front of Jnr and stepped aside for Jnr to do his ringwalk...Brilliant stuff :)

    maybe they thought there's no escaping the name so why not go the whole hog? It may just be a one off for his debut anyway.

    Cheesey but I enjoyed him replicating his dad because the truth is I really miss Eubank as well as Benn, Hamed, Lewis etc

    I loved it and it made sense to play on the fact he is Chris Eubank Jr. But going forward they should let him be his own man, because otherwise it will become cheesy and unimaginative. From now I would let him choose his own ring entrance music and don't have his Dad doing interviews with him let him stand on his own two feet, showcasing his personality.

    lol i thought it was hilarious when he did that

    i think its great that h replicates his dad. he is proud of his dad and wants to make him proud. if your father was chris eubank, perhaps you would do the same

    He should definitely be allowed to be his own man, I feel sorry for these sons of successful fathers it must be difficult. If you're called junior when you are a grown man it must put a weight on your mind.

    Having said that however cheesy some of the showmanship was class, like not bothering to leave his corner in the first round!

    Really thought it was cringeworthy but if it was just a one off for his debut then maybe fair enough. Certainly don't want to see him walking around in jodphurs with a cane and monocle.

    I enjoyed it, took me back to being young when the music hit. I thought post fight they interviewed snr far too much and it made jr look a little bit daft, a bit like he wasn't old enough to have a opinion if you know what I mean. I enjoyed the ring walk and the jump over the rope, the only bit I really cringed at was the slow motion replay of the jump.

    Who gives a **** for ****s sake? As long as he performs I really don't care whether he jumps into the ring and what is entrance music is.

    I worry his dad will be too overbearing. 3 minutes into his pro debut and senior was butting into the corner. Either leave the trainer do his job or train him yourself

    Agree with this. Not sure its helpful for Eubank Sr to be piping up whenever he feels like it. He should either be in the corner in some capacity full-time or simply STFU. I prefer him to be in the corner, maybe when his son needs inspiration in tough fights that could make a difference.

    Think he'll end up falling out with his Dad because I can see him being too overbearing as time goes on, last night was more about Snr than Jnrs debut, of course use the publicity but be your own man.

    Someone showed me Eubank Jr fighting some lads in a car park, hope hes grew out of all that rubbish.
