    Dunno why people question his power - he was never gonna KO AA! - No-one has.
    He beats boxers with normal whiskers and as for Spike/Blackwell - both have excellent chins, as does BJS who has never been shaken.
    As for Chudinov - has he been down before?
    Some perspective would be helpful on here.

    He's a C+ power and A - speed - A - accuracy - A - athleticism - A - workrate - B - chin

    So what you'll get is exciting fights and absolute drubbings when he's on his game like tonight.

    A- for accuracy?? I need to disagree with that one massively he swings wildly constantly and misses a lot.

    What about Skippy last time out. Landed plenty online him and again just took way longer than it should when you see how often he lands

    Really????

    I suggest you rewatch the fight.

    AA had a couple of wobbles.

    I thought you would be angry that a PPV had such as non competitive main event.

    I'd love to see the punches thrown/landed percentages. So many shots on the gloves and arms.

    Eubank was head and shoulders above AA tonight but we knew that would happen. AA only fights for a minute every round if that. He has a peek a boo defence which is a invite with glitter and sparkles for a fighter to throw flurries of shots.

    Eubank was always gonna win, but personally not impressed. AA was there to be stopped tonight.

    Not so sure about his accuracy ... he was landing a hell of a lot of his shots on nothing but gloves and forearms

    Impressive workrate as ever though

    The most impressive thing about Eubank Jr today was his engine, the man was non stop for 12 rounds! He seems to have matured a little with shot selection too. BJS should stay away from Eubank till he cashes out no point if he can already say he's beaten him.

    Eubank power isn't there at super middle weight that must is obvious. AA ofc was never gonna go down but he wasn't even hurt but some clean punches. Who cares? Andre Ward couldn't punch look where he is now..

    Eubank snr is doing no favours in his corner between rounds. I don't know what he'd say to Eubank if he'd just been knocked down which worries me. This father son thing probably won't work out sorry snr.

    Do you know what, you REALLY made me laugh here :risas3:

    You give Bellew top credit for beating a CRIPPLED Haye....

    However you weren't impressed with Jr tonight?

    That stinks of double standards, and TBF I thought you were better than that fella.....:cool:

    Good win for Eubank showed maturity tonight. AA is a tough operator but Eubank took everything away from him. I think he will stop Groves when they meet.

    Really good post.

    Calzaghe was one of, if not THE best ever British fighter, people always were critical of his power.

    I don't actually think it is that relevent.

    I just like to sit back and watch Jr, watch his work rate, enjoy the entertainment and say...'That kid is good and he is getting better..........although his dad is still a c*nt'.

    Yeah it's good to repeat what the commentators have spoon fed you into thinking. So much maturity that he was dropping his guard down to showboat in front of an old man who deserves a great amount of respect for what he has achieved in the sport!

    I'd love to see Eubank try that kind of stunt when Groves begins painting his face red with his blood.
