Talk of Groves having to be perfect. What about Eubank? Doesn't he have to be perfect? And even then he still won't know because he has never fought anybody as good , slick, classy and powerful as Groves.
I'm not saying Eubank hasn't improved or doesn't stand some sort of chance, but if he ends up being seen as the favourite, I think that might be ridiculous enough for me to have a little punt on Groves.
Groves needs to be perfect because I don't think he has the stamina or toughness to prevent Jr from hunting him down. Groves can never resist punching with punchers inside either, however, he is normally the faster man. I think Eubank has faster hands and arguably his greatest attribute is whipping flowing combos in on the inside.
If I priced it up I'd make Eubank the favourite but admittedly that would be ignoring what they've actually proved with potential.
Like I said, it's Eubank who would have to fight the perfect fight and even then he won't know because he's never been in this deep.
Groves is a technically better boxer than Saunders and Eubank couldn't work him out.
And if Eubank does leave himself open , which he is prone to, he's gonna get clumped harder than he's ever been hit before. Groves is very heavy handed.
Eubank may have a tough chin, but they don't come much tougher than Froch and when Groves hit him, he fucking knew about it.
