It could be argued that he would never have had the power required to be a top pro whatever age he turned over.
Also, boxing full time all over the world with free accommodation, training and medical and nutrition support whilst getting 30 grand a year tax free plus whatever sponsorship you might get makes the turn pro or go fo the Olympics decision much more difficult than it was before Lottery funding.
Haha yeah he's probably wishing stayed an amateur now!

The power can be developed with changes to technique, even though he obviously doesn't possess natural power, but he turned over too late for them to make the changes required.

Eubank Jr's footwork is really wooden, slow and he just doesn't move well around the ring, not a weakness you want to have going in with a southpaw.

So hard to tell how good Eubank is from this fight. All the questions remain but I lean in his favour against BJS.

Usual shite with the Eubank's, prancing around the ring, Sr and Davies in the ring after the 1st round, Sr posturing, inspector tells one to get out, Davies gets out the ring.

Eubank Snr doing his standard posing in the corner between rounds. The inspector said only one man could be in the ring and Davies ended up getting out and Snr was just standing there posing! Also Eubank Jnr was posing a bit too much during the actual fight itself for my liking.

The Eubanks love a bit of show. Snr could fight a bit though, got to be said!

I've got a feeling saunders is going to get done.
I love the whole circus and buzz the Eubanks bring.

I dont know i think saunders has the boxing skills but lacks pop, Eubank is really vicious, and regardless of the lack of amateur pedigree he has compared to BJS he is still very well schooled.
One thing i do know for certain is that its going to be a domestic classic.
