Triple G would destroy Eubank Junior, that performance was inept at the world class level.Quote:

Haha, funny you say that, because I posted on FB earlier, that his only hope was to go back to the beginning like When Rocky went to Detroit :-)Quote:

Glad its not just me, don't get me wrong I backed Groves at outrageously generous odds because I have always rated him. Whilst I recognise that EU has built a large amount of fans in his (short) career I really thought his performance was absolutely piss poor. I have to agree with most of you, 'learn to box' seems to be a cruel, but true, observation.
As has been already said, his chances against GGG are slim and none, and Slim just left town. Any promoter rash enough to stage it would be purely hoping for EU's remnant hipster fans turning up at £500 a pop for the live event, PPV receipts would be a record low.
Maybe he can get up the jungle like his old man?
Not a lot of regular press over here about him but has Eubank Sr ever publically ripped into him or wanted to walk away? All I've ever seen was constant praise to the point of almost smothering. Jr looked lost yesterday like he came with zero plan and unmotivated.
Eubank-GGG would be a tremendous fight, it's purely about styles.
Eubank can't deal with world-class slickster/movers/thinkers, it doesn't mean he can't beat world-class pressure fighters. For all the deserved shit his dad gets, he picked the right fights to suit his style, unfortunately though, the process created a one-dimensional hardman with zero boxing brain and no plan b.
Jr could beat current belt holders at 168 and beat current world-class middleweights.
Odd performance from Eubank. So timid in comparison to previous fights. Has to eat humble pie, desperate dan style and come back.
GGG is not just a pressure fighter, he has the skills to pick Junior off and take him apart when he has to.Quote:

How much interest will there be in Jr's next fight?
The boxing fans have decided that Saturday night was more than enough evidence that he isn't in the elite, will they be able to drum up the same sort of interest from the casual fan next time?
Junior will want to fight in the final if Groves pulls out, his second hope is that he gets a shot at Truax, third hope is one of the other champs offers him a fight.Quote:
