Round 6 Swierzbinski is selling out, pumping straight lefts and rights in while trying to drive Eubank Jr. into the ropes. Eubank Jr. hangs himself over an invisible clothesline, going slack and slipping punches. Left and right uppercuts put together by Eubank and, predictably, Swierzbinski goes down from accumulation. Eubank Jr., predictably, lets him survive. Looping right on the backside by Eubank Jr. More uppercut by Eubank Jr. Swierzbinski down again. Eubank Jr. eases off. 10-7 Eubank Jr. 60-48 Eubank Jr..
Round 7 Swierzbinski is getting moved around the ring by left and right uppercuts on the guard and sides. Swierzbinski keeps shelling up and giving ground. Eubank Jr. spikes him again. The ref finally waves it off. TKO7!!
That was ****ing stupid. Even stupider is Eubank Sr. acting stoked at ringside like that was some outstanding performance.
Finally! Anyone catch the Tom Stalker match? Great boxer, his footwork is lovely but he just doesn't have the power and given his age it's unlikely he'll get it (Eubank obviously has). Shame but I think as soon as he moves up a level he will struggle to keep people off him and just end up fighting instead of boxing.
That inattentive ref's name, btw, is Alvin Finch. Not that Eubank Jr. ever created a perfect 'moment' where it needed to be stopped, but the class disparity was painfully obvious. If he put any effort whatsoever into finishing, even Smoger would have stopped it by the 2nd knockdown or so (let alone the seventh or eighth or whatever that was...) Eubank Jr. is a tit. He went out of his way to not finish Swierzbinski and was showboating.
