    From what i saw, he looks a good prospect. Are people forgetting it's his second fight!
    The only flaw that stood out to me was his footwork

    He's getting written off because for a second fight novice, he sucks!

    End of.

    Did you not attempt to label me a ****wit because you disagree with my "opinion" that I can accurately see that Jr is going nowhere?

    Hypocrisy, thy name is you.

    Hypocrisy, thy definition has been misconstrued.

    You are a ****wit if you base your opinion on two fights right at the beginning of someone's career. Your blatant agenda regarding Jr's old man simply highlights the raging bias.

    Now, zip it.

    Despite the fact TV executives, promoters and fans base an opinion on how far an amateur fighter can get before they even turn pro? As for my so-called bias, I just provide a differing viewpoint to the ridiculous myopia people seem to suffer when discussing that prat.

    What myopia?

    Other than a few fannies, most pointed out his flaws after the first fight as well as his potential.

    Stop trying to make out you're some sort of provocateur - you're just a mouth.

    Most reasonable posters are very honest about Eubank's abilities. He's a legend in British sport, whatever you think about his actual career. The Benn fights alone tell you why people admire him so much as a fighter.

    Personally, that's always been the extent of it. He was tough, fierce and brave in the ring.

    You're right, the ability to keep up the mind-numbing mauling of the second fight as opposed to actually attempting to box cleanly for a while really is admirable. Legendary, in fact.

    I agree about his ferocity mind, he had the ferocity of a sedated kitten.

    And his performances, if not his results, could have shown that, much like you can tell that the vast majority of fighters who win their first two fights end up going nowhere.
