Not realy half the limelight goes to snr everytime. I love snr but he should take a step back like jcc snr. Otherwise it could end up like rjj and his dad

I personally never saw this famous left hook on him land, I saw Eubank land a huge counter left hook and then the commentator say he took one??

He is a good prospect. Certainly won't be eclipsing DeGale or Groves anytime soon though. Still too early to judge how far he will go.

Both are good lads in a decent scrap. Allison came to win but was up against it. Both lads will do well, though Eubank Jnr will get the TV dates + it's a shame as Allison is built for a telly scrap.

I think he looked ordinary, no better than any other decent prospect and no worse, but like every other fighter lets get him the standard 10 fights against journeymen to learn his trade before we judge him either way. Lots to learn but he has some decent tools in his bag.

The boy has talent and u can see some flashes of briliance but its hard to judge after 3 fights, he may turn out to have no chin and we could see him develop some real power over the next year or so or it could turn out he's feather fisted and can cope at a decent level.

My gut is telling me he is going to be big!

Listen to him plugging his Twitter, Facebook, Youtube. Do effing boxers just want to be celebrities these days? He sounds like an idiot. Christ can you imagine the likes of Jake LaMotta or Marvin Hagler pulling that shit if they were around today? Urgh.

The most impressive aspect of Eubank Jnr is how he switched his super posh boy accent from 'At Home with the Eubanks' to his new rugged street accent. Lol.

I dont think that is fair people like to have interaction with the boxers and most boxers have twitter, also at home with the eubanks was donkeys ago and Eubank Jr has been in boxing clubs training for most of that time not hanging with geoffrey from the fresh prince of bell air.

He looked better than he did in his last 2fights however I wanna see Chris Eubank Jnr fight and not his father. it just seems he is trying to be like his father with all the poses, the music and the summersault. i think he needs to be himself abit more.

Eubank jrs power is questionable, he landed a lot of punches on a blown up welterweight last night which didnt have much effect. He is speedy though

After seeing all 3 of Chris Eubank Jnr's fight in the professional ranks I do feel that it is ealry days about talking about how far he can go. So far I have been impressed with the handspeed and shot selection along with the defence too and his ability to finish off his opponent when he has had the opportunity to do so. Over time and through tougher competition we will see if he is the real deal in terms of his chin and stamina over the longer distances, but if he continues to fight often and get regular top line sparring I think he will go quite along way in the paid ranks.

Why do people make such a big deal out of him because of his name is beyond me, especially whens hes accomplished really little of note in his amateur or pro career. Let him prove himself like his dad did before you come out with big statements like that.

just heard he's fighting Harry Matthews in his next bout in May. You cant knock him for taking on that calibre of opponent in your 4th bout. Many wouldnt.

Its not surprising there's hype. What is beyond doubt is that Jr is from great fighting stock, Chris Snr was a beast of a man, absolutely rock solid physically and chances are Jr will have inherited at least some of the characteristics.

Ryan Aston beats Eubank Jnr all day long

Harry is a decent test at this stage, lacks power though.

At least he's keen to take on someone who will fight back...rather than them shipping over cannon fodder

...PS He looks like a has talent but probably needs to get rid of the circus and get focused to progress beyond domestic level

Having his dad within a couple of metres and his dad's trainer means he has no chance of emerging from his shadow any time soon

I actually agreed with the commentator.

I noticed that between each round Chris Snr would leave his chair and go up to the corner.

Surely this is destracting for the lad? - it is working ok now but what about if he is going through a tough time in a fight, surely that interferance won't help.

Just thinking about it, I would have thought that there would be somne regulation stopping a member of the audience getting involved in a corner ?

I think they are just using it as a marketing tool at the moment if Eubank Jr starts progressing towards some sort of title i should imagine Eubank snr will start fading himself out. Its a good way to get exposure in a tough market i think they are doing the right thing by milking it during the very early stages of the career.

Also about the commentator saying eubank should kinda mind his own business - ricky hatton does the same think when matty hatton is fighting, i would do the same if my son was fighting, Bruno even used to do it when benn was fighting.

Thought he looked handy, nice array of shots including the uppercut, has fast hands and is accurate.

Might not be the hardest hitter around, but time will tell on that one.

Looks like a bright prospect.

The power will probably come when he gets the technique down.

Also as his muscles mature apparently nas didnt have that much power when he was a kid so theres hope yet.

Tommy Hearns - couldn't punch a lick as an amateur.
