    Can't believe anyone bought that fight, to watch Abraham put his gloves in front of his face and follow his opponent around the ring without throwing a punch..........never been any good at 168.................

    He's a former Light Heavyweight and has a decent punch, he has a solid chin, and he's relentless. I can see him mauling CEJ and maybe stopping him late.

    IMO Yildirim is a tougher fight for Jr than Groves

    Yildirim is simply monstrous, he will be like punching a brick wall
    Abe is tough too, and probably hits as hard as Avni but he doesn't have the young legs propelling him
    Avni is twice the size of Abe too, the way Jr likes to fight on the inside and using his speed will be found out pretty quickly because Avni will just out muscle him on the inside,

    Jr needs to box the whole fight on the outside and he will have to show a different skill set IMO
    Might be the 1st boring fight Jr has been in if he pulls it off

    Abraham was pretty much tailor-made for Eubank. As usual, most of the time he presented a static target and his offence only came in short bursts, while he mostly went into his (effective) shell. Eubank couldn't ask for more, other than a punchbag in the ring. I think we'll learn a lot more about Eubank's progress when he has a "LIVE" opponent, who can move and doesn't allow him breathing space, the same way BJS used to good effect . Looking at his next opponent Yildirim , he keeps going forward & has a similar defence as Abrahams ,plus he can dig a bit but is no GGG...well chosen no doubt by Snr.

    It's cherry picking matching making 101.

    His head movement is lacking.

    I get what you are saying about some teachers, yet from experience I have found that very few of the teachers I have had dealings with in and out of school can actually organize themselves and have found many to be very immature, but I dont completely blame them for that, but more of how it is. For example. You go to school, mixing with children, then you go to further education like college or university but still mixing with children or people of that still at school mentality. After that people go out into the real world where they mix with adults and have to grow up, but in the case of many teachers its back to school mixing in that still at school mentality and mixing again with children and students, so its no wonder that people I have spoken to have found some of them to be immature. In effect they didnt leave school and are still conversing with children.
    That of course is not every person.
