The problem I have is that Jr is just replicating his dads career fighting shite. You just dont know how good Jr really is. Its ok looking good duffing a 37 year old one dimensional plodder but its just unclear to me if Jr is any good or not.

Indeed. The fact that some people actually bought this as a PPV is laughable.
17 quid for a sparring session , hope those people think they got good value for money .

I think a puncher like Groves stops him and a mover like Degale does a Saunders on him .

It was like I said pages ago It's just cagey matchmaking by the Eubank's. A win over Abraham looks good on Eubank's record but means little off paper. That wasn't competitive. Eubank wasn't tested at all.

Had to be bad. The rbr nearly put me to sleep. That goodness I did not bother to waste time finding it, although I would have liked to see Selby.

Eubank Jnr's for the casuals, just like his dad. Fake belt, handpicked opponents, naive audience.

That's a bit harsh.

120-108 Eubank Jr, just as dominant as Ramirez was outwith a couple of single shots Abraham landed, I thought a TKO win for Jr was highly likely beforehand, Abraham's cement feet a perfect style for someone who loads up the way Eubank Jr does, I thought the ref would've stepped in to stop it late, I know Eubank Jr doesn't have Julian Jackson power but you can see with the speed he whips the shots in that they must hurt even if Abraham never went down or was wobbled

Abraham is tough as fook though he shipped some big shots, the uppercut which I said before the fight wouldn't work for Eubank worked a treat, Eubank's engine was solid as well, he was always willing to sit down on his punches all through the fight, Abraham for his part was a punchbag, hopefully he calls it a day

Let's hope so.

Unless he gets an injury or comes up with some promotional/tv issue that will prevent him from taking part

He's obviously not a boxing specialist but a top notch sport all rounder, that's class

I wonder where Dempsey was tonight, my favorite boxing presenter

Stieglitz had really started to beat him up in that fight too
