Groves vs Eubank Jr

[Primo Carnera]

Why did Eubank jr move up to 168?

Was it a mixture of avoidance from BJS? A fresh start? Or was he struggling to make weight?

I think he was struggling to make weight but only he knows for sure

To be fair to him, I'm amazed he made MW for so long with his frame and physique . He probably could make MW because he clearly trains like a dog, but why kill yourself doing it.
All this avoiding stuff is rubbish. I reckon Eubank Jr. would fight anyone , and I don't even like him.
The reason fights didn't get made is because his Dad is a deluded fucking idiot who thinks he's a sharp businessman when in reality , he's thick as pigshit!
I heard Sr. in an interview the other day saying "after these next 3 fights, Jr. will be a multi Millionaire."
If he hadn't been such a cunt in negotiations with Golovkin , that fight alone would've made him a multi millionaire.
