Eubank Jr elbow injuries?
I've read about this a few times over the years. The chap can't seem to throw straight punches so im thinking there must be some substance to it.

Probably developed due to his sh!t technique.
Re: Eubank Jr elbow injuries?
Yeah gammy punches probably didn't help

Re: Eubank Jr elbow injuries?
I explained the following almost a year ago to the forum:
Enlightened-One wrote:... One of the flaws that the Brit [possesses is] related to his reluctance or inability to throw straight right hands, which [is] due to a long-term hyperextended elbow injury that Eubank Jr. suffers on his right arm.
Eubank Jr. has had to adapt his style to cater for this impediment, subsequently resulting in him throwing too many uppercuts, which are incredibly difficult shots to land. This means that (against certain opponents) Chris can be very wasteful and inefficient with his offence.

I knew about Eubanks elbow injury long before the Quinlan bout. It wasn't a secret.
Re: Eubank Jr elbow injuries?
He does partial ROM seated machine curls, so that'll fix it.
I'm agreeing with the product of shit technique and ignoring joint pain.

Re: Eubank Jr elbow injuries?
My guess is the Eubanks refusal to stop training even when injured has caused this to become a chronic problem.

He pulled out the Tommy Langford fight in 2016 fight due to his elbow injury.

Re: Eubank Jr elbow injuries?
anyway regarding the alleged elbow injury, only the right elbow has been mentioned? doesn't explain why he never throws a jab...?
