Dr_Pangloss Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yildirim was made to order. Undefeated records are largely meaningless these days. I think Groves could have a field day countering Eubank with straight right hands, Eubank is easy to nail with that shot but he will have to start fast, Groves can be overwhelmed by an aggressive, high volume opponent and Eubank has that style.

sheepyvillian Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 There's a spitefulness to Eubank Jr , when he gets in that ring . Everything he throws , has nothing but bad intentions. He has an aura about him ,where you just anticipate excitment. He's one of the few fighters I'd happily pay to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Groves fight is the first fight that he will have been in (providing that Groves gets past Cox as he should do) that would be anywhere near PPV worthy and in all fairness Groves isn't exactly PPV material and based on Jr's previous standard of opponent he is nowhere near PPV worthy either.

Rugeley Villa Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I cannot stand Eubanks jr. he's an utter clearing in the woods. Arrogant clearing in the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because america is a bigger country than the uk perhaps. But even still i would say more people know who klitsiko is than wilder. So joshua will be much more known now since he beat him. Wilders beaten bums yet how is he "light years away" from wilder? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Enjoyable fight & a tremendous finish from Groves. The visuals for this tournament in terms of ring lighting etc are top notch so I hope they find a nice venue for the Groves Eubank Jnr semi. That will be very tasty.

Guest av1 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I enjoy watching boxing but I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on styles and tactics. Who does everyone make favorite for Groves v Eubank? From what I've seen i think Groves is slightly more likable than Eubank (though admittedly some of that may be due to my dislike of Eubank Snr) so I'm kind of hoping he wins.

There's something about George Groves I find really dislikeable. Maybe that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
