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.
Groves has 19 KO’s in 29 fights so he’s not the puncher you make him out to be and he’s never stopped anyone worth talking about. He also managed to make Froch look like a Devastating one punch knockout artist so his chin is very questionable. Eubank is the better puncher and he has the better chin.
You can make stats tell you what you want to hear. I prefer to actually see for myself and make an opinion.
Groves' 19 from 29 ratio is at a muck higher level and therefore more difficult to knock people out.
Groves would've KO'd all the guys Eubank has.
Froch's punch was a once in a career punch, all about timing. Not dissimilar to Eubank on Saturday night. It happens. But most of Eubank's KO's are flurries of punches , he doesn't normally one punch KO them himself.
Groves is too slick and heavy handed enough to give Eubank something to think about.
