Eubank Jr...the beginning of the end.

Ocassio was good Well done Gaz, though I understand what point you were trying to make Rutz :good

 

I diasgree with his punch form, in as much as it was tiredness causing him to lose form with his shots, and thats a worry. He was VERY tired in a 6 round fight against a very limited opponent who's workrate wasnt Calzaghe like.

His biggest problem, as you say, is his chin hanging out to dry, especially as he jabs, and add that to his tiredness, I think he's going to be on the end of a highlight reel KO sooner rather than later.
Unless he has his fathers iron chin of course.

 

My recording ****ing cut out after 98 mins which meant I saw Galahad but not Jr. Trying to find a repeat or something.

 

Oh yeah, the epic Eubank stamina curse, the one which stopped Eubank Sr from ever achieving anything of note... if only his stamina was better he might of actually won something...

 

I wondered why Jr didn't throw a single right hand worth mentioning. If he was injured then it explains a few things. I'm no boxer, but in any any sport if you are 50% impaired then it effects your whole rhythm. The fact that he was able to come in, adjust to the situation without any experience to rely on and still pull out a convincing win is encouraging.

I still want to see him progress and I reckon ApatheticLeader is being premature; one bad fight whilst injured is not a good indicator of overall potential, plus it's a bit rich to complain that a 2-fight novice still has technical issues to sort out. What else can we expect at this stage of his career?

 

Hes nothing special, good luck to him though..

 

I totally agree with the point you were making Rutz, just thought I'd give Ossie a bit of credit!:good

 

It took 3 pages but eventually the subtext appears.

Newsflash: it can be done. And, despite your protestations, you are obviously biased because of your opinion of the boy's father.

 

An ability to spot the bleeding obvious?
