Eubank Jr's promoter: "Contact has been made with Golovkin's team and talks are progressing"

[apollo creed]

"Talks have started. Contact has been made with Golovkin's team and talks are progressing. They want the fight with Eubank Jr and we're looking at a May date. There are huge fights out there for Eubank Jr, like Billy Joe Saunders and Demetrius Andrade," Shalom said. @ BS


Well, imagine 40y/o grandpa GGG beating the son of English ?! lol

Andrade vs Eubank Jr winner VS GGG vs Murata winner

So do you think Son of English would not dare to fight Andrade?

It'd be an interesting fight-test for both.

I feel most fighters wouldn't want to face Andrade, even Demetrius' fellow stablemates.

Moderate risk, extremely low reward.

Did you see Chris's last fight?
I don't know if he has slipped, or it was just a very off night.
Going by that performance, Andrade would box rings around him in a sad one sided beat down.
No, grandpappy G is about right.

Andrade is a terrible matc for eubank no way that happens

Eubank vs ggg or murata is great

The Eubank Jr that fought Groves would have been an enjoyable watch vs Andrade, but I haven't seen that Eubank Jr since. Not that I'm saying he would have beat Andrade, but he would definitely have taken it to him.

Roy Jones Jr. is trying to transform Eubank Jr. into a master boxer.

Imagine how much success someone would achieve trying to make Jeff Fenech or Wayne McCullough fight like Pernell Whitaker?

Some of the individual techniques Roy has taught Chris are working, but the total stylistic overhaul isn’t.

It's the work output that mostly concerns me EO.
Chris got to where he is by training hard and working hard in the ring. Yes he will benefit from some new techniques, but if he is only throwing 3/5ths the amount of punches per round, they better be some awesome techniques.

Exactly! That’s the main point I was trying to make.

Fenech and McCullough were volume punchers with monstrous engines that usually fought at close range. Fairly similar to Eubank Jr’s optimal style.

When Eubank Jr. achieved success during the Groves and Saunders bouts, it was when he resorted to his natural fighting style… trying to overwhelm his opponent with high-workrate coupled with mid-range shots, such as the uppercuts.

Now he’s boxing more, but it doesn’t come naturally to him.

He thinks before he executes - zero instincts. He’s not using his muscle memory, because he’s operating outside of his comfort zone.

The implementation of his new style has drastically affected his punch volume. And he’s less effective because of it.

I got respect for Roy. I would love for him to take a guy from novice to pro to really see what he can do as a trainer.

So what? As boxing fan I just want to see both fighting each other to establish themselves in the mw division.

Jr vs a top mw would reverse back to his old style when he'd get in the trenches. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
