Me too...........

I thought he looked awful last night aswell. He didn't look anything special at all. They are trying to hype him up on his name and it isn't working at all, he doesn't have the personlaity or charisma of his father, never mind the fighting style. He doesn't look like a golden gloves champion to me and this after looking very good in his first fight. He doesn't put shot's together, his defence is terrible and he looked like he was gassing last night and when he ran out of ideas he just brawled. I'm not sure how much his hand injury affected him last night, but it was bad performance.

I don't think that the outrageous claims that seem to be made ringside at every Channel 5 show will help him either. Some of the hyperbole is mind boggling. Tone it down a bit Mick :TU:

God help him if he gets in with any of the other middleweight prospects too early due to having too much hype around his name. Billy Joe Saunders, John Ryder, Adam Etches and Liam Cameron to name a few would give him a loss i think, Definitely over rated and people should stop putting so much pressure on him. Good talent - YES, Is he the best middleweight prospect - NO. We should hopefully see him in some great fights in the not too distant future.

He seems more obsessed with Twitter than dismantling opponents in an impressive fashion

a C+ performance v an average domestic operator, and I don't think having his dad ringside helps him

Im trying to cut the lad a bit of slack because he's obviously got a big silver spoon in his mouth, given his dad.

So far so good - but I've not seen anything truly remarkable yet. I'm not saying he doesn't have it as he is still a novice.

I suppose when people put you on a very high pedestal from the outset, your going to get a lot more scrutiny (and stick) than someone unknown.

Junior is just going to have to take the rough with the smooth and do his best.

I agree with that.

I really hope that Junior's head is in the right place, because the pressure from Mick Hennessy; the fact that he is called Chrus Eubank & the constant presence of the original Chris Eubank was really heap some pressure on him.
