He actually looked like an athlete before that fight.
Obviously he didn't need to be v 'Del Boy'.
Still a bit gutted with the Eubank fight, tactics were all wrong for the lad, maybe his Dad was a bit too weary with this being his toughest fight against a durable and canny opponent, and he knows better now hopefully, or he really believed his lad would dominate the later rounds and do enough, which he nearly did tbf.
Either way, he can most definatley improve, which is good.

I have a theory about Eubank snr and his influence over his son's style of boxing.
I think Eubank is passing on the aftermath of the Michael Watson fight to his son.
If people think back to how Eubank fought before the Watson fight. He would go for the knock out or stoppage when he had an opponent in trouble and after the second Watson fight he tended to try to do just enough to get the win even when he looked to have an opponent in trouble.
Eubank jnr looks at times to be turning into Eubank snr V2.0. He seems to be having to start fights like the BJS fight using a style that resembles that of the latter half of his father's career, and it is a style that does not suit the younger Eubank as for my money the younger man has a lot of talent and very quick hands. Let Eubank jnr develop a style more befitting his obvious talent and I reckon he could become a dominant fighter.
