Not well enough.

Fact!

Wrong.

You are indeed.

You are indeed.

No, you are.

Eubank Jr looks a capable boxer and is good to watch but he's been a pro for over 5 years and to me he's yet to meet anybody who would have been top 10 at the time. His achievements thus far are falling well short of the hype. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for him to fight somebody decent.

I've a fair few friends who are very casual boxing fans and they don't give a rats ass about either Eubank.

Perhaps too young for Snr and thus no gravity to tune into his son either.

Joshua they love, but Jr. is nowhere on their radar whatsoever.

I like him, quite entertaining. But I'm not losing sleep over him allowing his dad to nosedive his career.

This could run and run

Being watched and disliked only works until a fighter loses. The interest in seeing Broner lose dropped off massively since Maidana beat him, and when CEJ loses again the same will happen.

To be fair I don't think I'd ever tire of watching that odious little tûrd getting beat up!

This. None of my mates are into this at all. The younger ones I work with who are all over the Anthony Joshua social media stuff haven't mentioned it at all yet they'll be telling me what Joshua has had for breakfast!

Whatever you think of his ability you can't deny Eubank Jr has the "X" factor. The physique, the looks, the style, the arrogance. If marketed and promoted right he could be a huge draw.

It would also help if he'd...ya know...win some big fights.

Of course. Let's see who he fights next.

Close...but it's not a hype train. It's a hype truck.

Not really relevant, but 'cooked, seasoned and fried' isn't good technique is it?
