    That's very interesting if slightly unorthodox...Eubank is underrated for the snappyness (is that a word?) in his punches. He had very quick hand release and good eyes.

    Yeah agreed. I remember him being on Soccer AM. He said he was bringing out a book on his philosophy on Boxing Techniques. He stood up and showed how he snapped punches and use of the hips and pivoting. This Episode was years back mind so doubt he brought it out.

    Pat Ford was a very good fighter, Atberry. Gave Salvador Sanchez all he could handle.

    Yeah it still fresh in memory but must of been a good 4-5 years ago at least. Love to see it again...so enthusiastic about it you could see he was into what he was talking about.

    Eubank's style is fascinating. It looks like he just taught himself to box, he looked corny and a little amateurish when he was throwing his combinations, but he was very deceptive. As you say Mand. he snapped his punches and didn't waste any motion.

    People can get a sense of this...before some Eubank fights they show him shadow boxing in the changing rooms and displaying this trait. Much more athletically gifted fighters are not as 'fast' with their release of punches because they load up.

    He doesn't look it, but from point A to B with one punch Eubank was very fast, because of that no waste of motion and he tried to keep it compact. This is why he got the better of some fighters in extended exchanges. There's a perfect illustration of this in the final few seconds of the final round of his fight with Calzaghe, where he comes off the ropes and hit Joe with a HUGE short right hand almost knocking him out. So he also kept that form and compact punching in extreme fatigue. Eubank was more talented then even he realised and would admit.
