“I didn’t know he had that in him,” Chris Eubank Jr. admitted in the post-fight interview. He continued, “I really didn’t. I thought I would break him early. I underestimated him. I didn’t train for a fight like that. I didn’t know he had that in him. He’s never shown that. But then again, he’s never had to show it. He had to show it tonight. So did I.”
