Round 8

Eubank Jr. taps Pryce's glove and they hug briefly. (and awkwardly, with Pryce giving him a "there, there, lad" pat on the shoulder) Pryce begins to go to work, chopping away with big hooks. Eubank Jr. leans back into a deep crouch and looks to counter with high right hands coming up. Pryce keeps him in check with the hooks and circles in tight.

Pryce throws a hard right hand lead followed by a power jab, almost a reverse 1-2, backing Eubank Jr. up and causing him to cast a nervous glance toward his corner. Pryce is relentless, leading with that right and now following with a door-slammer left hook to prevent Eubank Jr. escaping to his right. Pryce marches him down and eats a big overhand right as Eubank Jr. lies in wait and loads up. Another right from Eubank Jr. Pryce shows no ill effect and keeps coming at him. Pryce leans back to dodge an uppercut, and then bends almost backward to slip another overhand right. BIG left hook by Pryce. Some chips to the body by Eubank Jr. Pryce gets inside and drags Eubank Jr. into another short hooking war. Pryce is getting the best of the infighting.
