I like the Eubanks, they bring colour to the game, and they add tickets wherever they go, but I would be very surprised if the Junior version won more than an area title. Maybe English pushing it but come on, lets get real...

Ryder would break him up imo.

To the Saunders fight, before that I'm not sure if Junior has sold a ticket off his own back so far.

That's the match that's sold, like Bellew-Clev, whereas both Tony and Nathan struggle against A N Other.

I think he does have all the makings of a champion boxer, his father brings in the flair and connections to get him there without a doubt but based on his competition its hard to guess, his last two opponents have good records but their history isn't what you expect.

these next two fights, if they happen, are what will determine where he is and where he is going career wise:

Jez Wilson - veteran at 35 yrs old - British masters (gold) champion and central area champion, 11-2-1
if Eubank can win, id say he is near British title level

Billy Joe Saunders - a proven champion and only 25 years old, former southern area, British, commonwealth and defending European champion, 20-0
if Eubank could win this it is a statement that he has got to European level incredibly fast and he would be knocking on the door of a number 1 contender fight or maybe a title fight before the end of 2015

The cynic in me says he will be pulled from the show but not yet - they are still actively marketing him as being on that bill. If so it's a bit of a sly trick but these days it's happening all the time.

Frank said on IFL last week that he was trying to sort it, he was due to be on the bill before the Saunders fight was agreed, but Frank didn't sound keen on him boxing October 25th, I'm assuming he still is though since that was about 10 days ago.

We'll see if he's actually the real deal or not vs BJS.
