how far can eubank jr go?

He looked as good as he could in his first pro fight. He went to work and showed a variety of skills. With the company he keeps like Eubank, McCallum etc then being taught top moves won't be a problem but it is about execution as he tests himself on each level.

He has a jab but what happens when someone takes that away from him. He has a left hook to the body but what does he do when someone feeds him an uppercut for his efforts.

Contrary to what many think, boxing skills aren't the toughest part of boxing. Not a single move that can't be taught. We are all humans with two arms and two legs. The hard part is the mental side of the game.

 

if there was one thing eubank snr could do, it was punch hard and at anytime in the fight

 

He can go far, but it's impossible to gauge how far just yet.

 

Far too early to say.

 

Interesting that he doesn't use the shoulder roll defence seeing as he spent so much time with Mayweather Sr

 

He's had one fight, looked like he's got something to work with but it's speculating and hoping cos we really don't know what he possess within. Does he have his fathers massive heart? that won him fights on it's on!. Plus he's not fought anyone to create him problems professionally as of yet.

 

Errr maybe we should wait until he has had more than one fight before we start discussing how far he can go. And also faced someone that throws something back not someone that could easily have been mistaken for the turtle that went missing from the local zoo a couple of months back.

 

Just how much time did he spend with him, mate? :think I thought it was just a couple of training sessions.

 

1-2yrs

 

Mayweather Sr is crap.

I'd love to know who he's actually improved as a fighter during his training career.

 

when's is next fight out of interest?

 

eubank snr was not a featherfist but No-way was he a puncher!!!

dont get carried away with his few 1 punch ko victories over F-RATED opponents. (Prob even less than F even, some of his match-ups were a joke!).

 

He took Camara and Melfah off their feet with right hands inside a few weeks, Camara flew from one side of the ring to the other and Melfah went to intensive care with concussion and shattered jaw. The guy could hit. Just ask John Jarvis (who's neck whipped around), or Mike Watson.......... or Ray Close (4-inch uppercut dropped him like a sack of spuds), or Malinga (straight-armed loopy overhand right from right lights, first time droppage of the Sugarboy).

 

He improved De La Hoya's right hand, got him to be a little more considered in his offence and helped him transition into a more effective counter-puncher at a time when his handspeed was diminishing.

He did a good job in the brief time he worked with Chad Dawson too.

 

He wasn't a huge puncher, but he could definitely crack. Carried that power all the way up to 190lbs.
