I explained the following almost a year ago to the forum:

Eubank Jr. has had to adapt his style to cater for this impediment, subsequently resulting in him throwing too many uppercuts, which are incredibly difficult shots to land. This means that (against certain opponents) Chris can be very wasteful and inefficient with his offence.

I knew about Eubanks elbow injury long before the Quinlan bout. It wasn't a secret.

He does partial ROM seated machine curls, so that'll fix it. 
I'm agreeing with the product of shit technique and ignoring joint pain.

My guess is the Eubanks refusal to stop training even when injured has caused this to become a chronic problem.

He pulled out the Tommy Langford fight in 2016 fight due to his elbow injury.

so far, we have, crappy technique on his wide hooks, doing stupid curls, insisting on getting in the gym the day after a fight when he should be recovering...basically its his own fault.

anyway regarding the alleged elbow injury, only the right elbow has been mentioned? doesn't explain why he never throws a jab...?
