Could Eubank Jr make 154?

Post by SAPFO »

He came in a at 159 last night, and 158 the fight before, and he does carry a lot of muscle. Could he suck it down to 154?

Maybe he would carry more power down there, and there are a good few fights just on the Brit scene for starters.

I think yes. It is just 4lbs from a previous fighting weight.

He could possibly do that, but I don't think the weight is the issue.

Eubank's style is the problem.

He's too much posturing & posing & he doesn't sit down on his punches often enough.

Saunders could do 154 better than Eubank i think. I mean if he was disciplined with his diet and so on.

I don't know if he cuts or he doesn't. If he doesn't, then he could easily do 154lbs. If he does cut, he's over doing it.

I was thinking the same. Saunders always looks small for the weight, and the way he gasses a bit over 12 rounds suggests he lacks discipline between fights.

The question wasn't about Saunders.

I know... It was about eubank jr - a guy with an under 5% body fat. I was saying the question should be about Saunders not him.

Not sure it's quite that low but I agree with your general point.

5% or not, he can still cut muscle & water. He is coming in under the limit regularly now which suggests maybe a move down where he could potentially be a beast. His dads probably hung up on him being a middleweight though.

If you've done a cut and are still overweight the nightmare starts but, if you haven't, it's a piece of piss.

Cutting muscle and water will only weaken him, he's a big, strong middleweight, but I'm not sure if a drop down to 11st would do much for him, if anything it might take something out of him IMO.

I agree - I am sure that Eubank is boxing at his optimum weight and doing the weight in the right way.

With his dad's knowledge and money I would've be surprised if he is monitored medically to make sure that he is in the right division.

The question is actually the biggest and oldest head fornicate for any boxer - every single boxer I have ever met in my life thinks "ok, I am fit and strong now but if I could box in a lower weight division then I will be even fitter and stronger"

I doubt his dad's knowledge and money! Great fighter, but notorious for doing the weight in an unbelievably bad way.. It was him who got check weigh ins brought in! I think he's bankrupt as well!
