I see in one of the dailies today that Jr is having his last amateur fight in Brighton tonight then going pro with Eddie Hearn.

Anyone know what this kid is going to be like. They say middlewieight to start with then move up to super middle.

As Cocky and Eccentric as his Dad hopefully

It's a pro-am event - first pro boxing in Brighton for 10 years, crazy.

Thats' because it's full of hippies and nufters, not the stereotypical boxing crowd. Didn't the Green party get voted in in Brighton?

Very apt that you used the word stereotypical.

Eddie Hearn claimed on his Twitter page that it's nonsense!

I boxed a fella called Harry Andrews, who was the ticket seller, in Brighton and that was as an intimidating atmosphere as you can get, I didn't see no hippies down there!
I think Frank Maloney was co commentating too

hopefully so, not enough genuinely nutty/interesting characters in the game, especially not operating at top level..

so theres actually 2 questions - will he be nutty and will he be any good

I read this bizarre article 1 year or so ago about how this surrogate mother in Vegas took two Eubank brothers on and they were dreadfully behaved...then there was also that odd filmed car park fight.

Supposedly he's decent; but being decent and being a world champ like his Dad is two different things

Is that the same Harry Andrews who's training Southern Area LWW champ Darren Hamilton?

Good luck Chris, let's hope your dad passes down the grit and not the monacle.

made me laff

I've seen him fight. He's overrated.

Had some training with Floyd Sr, but that means nothing as Floyd Sr is too, overrated.

Cheers He looked quite good in the little we got to see of him, unfortunatly theres no sound on my computer so didn't get to hear what daddy said, that was Herbie Hide in the backround aswell wern't it? Do you know the pro results? Have they been in the Brighton Gazette or whatever you have over your way.

Not yet the evening argus is paper! Apparently he having another fight tomorrow according to his facebook.

cant see him being all that to be honest , i know the lad he boxed , and although ive not seen the fight and all i know is he stopped nathan im pretty sure nathan aint all that in the ams and i think hes lost more than hes won , Nathan pushed him hard first time round while inured too.

He's got some big shoes to fill. His dad was a helluva a fighter but let's give the lad a chance. He's yet to have a professional fight yet. I think after maybe ten pro fights we'll have a better indication as to how far he will go in the pro ranks.
