Eubank Jr looks like he needs to improve a lot. He still looks to be feather fisted, still makes far too many stupid mistakes and was probably lucky Pryce wasn't a natural middleweight.

Yeah. I get the impression he revels in having a scrap. His little grins and sneers aren't affected, he really is happy in there. It doesn't look like he's ever going to be nuclear so he needs to sustain longer flurries of action in order to force stoppages.
Johnson looks a little fitter and more focused than he did for Prizefighter.
Fury looking fit and snappy. Probably shouldn't have put quite so much into the first 4 rounds though. Johnson is a world class punchbag and doesn't look like shifting far tonight.
Fair play mate, you called it correct, Johnson was absolutely ,utterly woeful and as unambitious as I have seen any fighter for quite a while in a supposed WBC title eliminator. Turgid stuff.

Seems to me he is happy to be the 'gatekeeper' type, "I've never been knocked down, went 12 rounds with Vitali, lets have the fat wad of cash to keep me going"

In fairness to Johnson, he's only lost three fights and one of them was a three rounder. Fury boxed brilliantly last night.
It was a very measured and mature performance from Tyson Fury who seems to have improved considerably in his last 3/4 fights since he has switched to being trained by Peter Fury rather than his other uncle Hughie. He looks in a far better shape than he did under Hughie plus he is learning to use what he has got in terms of his height, reach and was working off that jab very well and going to the body quite well and switching to Southpaw to mix things up, it was not a thrill a minute that some of the fans who were at the Odyssesy Arena wanted to see, but was a mature and focussed performance from Fury.
Finally seen the Fury-Johnson fight and Tyson boxed very well. His fitness was superb and concentration has improved massively. He pissed all over Johnson for 12 rounds
I'd still like to see him capture the European title first and have a few more fights before pushing full steam ahead to a world title fight.
