I was watching the fight via someone in the crowd streaming it on Facebook live, there were 9,000 people watching it when someone came and stopped him at the end of the ninth.
Junior's going to be world champion by this time next year. Mark my words. Then pi$$ off to the states.
He's pulled out of fights before that he has had the contract for, and most boxers who consider themselves decent wouldn't mind fighting groves post Froch. SMW is not a very deep division.
He's good against people with little movement because his engine is insane. He's pretty much achieved what he has far because his work ethic in the gym is second to none. But against a proper boxer I think he will made to look silly.
He went the WBA route and got in a mandatory position to fight Jacobs (who is a monster and would KO Eubank) and declined and fought a domestic nobody instead. He then called out Saunders for a rematch and was sent a contract but declined to sign it. He called out Golovkin for months was finally given the contract and was in pole position to fight him but again backed out at the 11th hour, Kell Brook stepped in and was given the exact same contract offered to Eubank and he signed it, despite being a lot smaller.Literally Kell signed in a few hours after Eubank missed the deadline, which I believe was because his dad snr wanted to promote it himself, as if Golovkins people would ever do that. He did the above and fought a few domestic fighters while bad mouthing the elite but refusing terms with them, and then he beats the IBO (not a real belt) champion Quinlan (who??) and walks around like a king. He then disrespects a once half decent champion by showboating against him, despite Abraham being a shell of his former self. He’s all mouth and no trousers.
If I had to say a point in his defence it would be that his dad English really interferes with his career, so he may well have signed some of these big fights if he wasn't controlled by his dad; who although a great fighter seems a complete novice of a manager/coach/promoter.
He started slow against Saunders and that cost him, he would have a rematch but Saunders won't, I wonder why?
Just love that phrase.."all mouth and no trousers"... Heard it so many Times but still makes me chuckle when I hear it again...
probably because Eubanks snr wanted everything on their terms with regard to money, venue, promotion etc and frank warren can't deal with him anymore. Nor can Hearn.
Made me chuckle when Saunders mocked him to his face in a press conference about how Eubank had said he wanted to fight Golovkin. "Golovkin would destroy me and you in the same night".
As bad as Saunders gatecrashing the canelo v gg presser. Canelo said you'd have to lose a lot of weight to fight either of us, he didn't even recognize him at first. And then said he'd beat Saunders with one hand behind no his back.
