Easy, nimble on his feet – quick darting feints of the head left him tantalizingly just out of reach, but on those few occasions when his rugged, tank-like opponent was able to land cleanly with a whistling left over the top, Eubank Jr seemed unphased, his smooth chiselled features lighting up momentarily in an amused smile.
