Chris Eubank Jr put on an impressive display at the Wembley Arena to shut down Arthur Abraham via a unanimous points decision and earn himself a place in the World Boxing Super Series.
The IBO super-middleweight champion out worked his German counterpart largely and showed plenty of heart and chin against a man as tough as they come in boxing.

Eubank Jr is on levels with Anthony Joshua with ability but he won’t get the recognition because he doesn’t live on an estate with his mum

Eubank is a very good boxer just needs his dad to **** off and let him have his own career

Massive performance by Eubank jr. looking strong, we’ll see if he’s strong enough for Avni Yldirim in @WBSuperSeries #AliTrophy

I’m not saying I hate Chris Eubank, but if I had a glass of water and he was on fire, I’d glass him. #eubankabraham

Eubank is fighting at 12st but only carries the power of a welterweight..

Eubank is a very good fighter, far better than me, but beating the shell of Abraham in that fashion wasn’t impressive at all

Eubank Jr looking good but badly needs a live test to push him all the way through a contest #boxing

I like Eubank Jr., but no shifts in pace or velocity of punching will hinder him at a certain level. It is all very one beat #EubankAbraham

Ref all in favour of Eubank gets away with turning his back & ducking very low and then Abrham gets told off for lowish blow #eubankabraham

Job done by Eubank.
AA is such a tough, hard man!
Jnr is a good addition to the @WBSuperSeries – now we’ll see how good he can be. #boxing— Dave Coldwell (@davidcoldwell) July 15, 2017
