His ability to defend a jab would cost him in a BJS rematch. He has no power at Super-Middleweight he needs to assess his next move very carefully.
Agreed, with all the talk they've been doing about wrecking everyone, and relieving people of teeth, I'd have expected him to deal with Quinlan in better fashion, but he did not look great tonight
He still beats BJS now with ease I think but he will never unify the belts with that performance. To wild at times with 60ft left hook he keeps trying.
He's not fought anyone at world level besides BJS who is himself vulnerable and also hasn't proven himself to be top class IMO. It's easy teeing off like you're playing fight night against sub-par opponents. Degale, Badou Jack, Groves and co probably knock him out at 168.
questionable power at both weights, relies on accumulative effect. Cringe worthy stuff seeing him parade his IBO belt in front of Andre Ward and Lennox Lewis.
Rocky Fielding would take him the full 12 rounds easy...I'm not even joking and I'm not trying to be disrespectful to Rocky. Eubank Jn takes too many shots. He isn't elusive enough. He can't land then move back out of range. He's learned nothing from the BJS fight.
The thing that stands out for me is we are not seeing any technical improvements, he isn't really improving technically as a fighter.
You have been watching boxing quite a bit lately and I think your technical knowledge has gone backwards!!!!! CEJ has improved at every level footwork, jab, head and body movement, he is very hard to hit flush Jr is coming for all the belts at 160-168
You guys are being embarassing harsh CEJ stepped up in weight, totally dominated a champion , and got the TKO. His opponent was durable and didn't take a dive Ok so he may not be the hardest puncher ever so what ! the sport is boxing, not hardest puncher and there is much more to the sport than punching hard, you have to land them first. Just like in tennis, the biggest servers aren't the best players
If you believe Jr is coming for ALL BELTS AT 160-168 after watching him tonight then I think you need to watch more boxing. What Jr is gaining is experience, that's all, he has settled down a little bit more, technically he hasn't really improved.
Has good a fighter that he is I'd suggest a quick move back to middleweight He must feel like a right sausage saying he'd beat ward omg
