Groves vs Eubank Jr

[GaMo]

Eubank hopefully will destroy him and with his hand speed advantage and his ability to put punches together he might! Froch isn’t a huge puncher and he took out Groves with a single punch so I’d lean towards Eubank by TKO.

[Ron Swanson]

Depends if Eubank can stay fighting fast or Groves sharp right makes him hesitant.

Obvious from the Groves reply that Eubank had the best of him in sparring.. but how much can we play into that.

On paper, Groves must be the favourite in every way..Groves would beat BJS and has so much more experience...is this Groves fight to loose?

[GaMo]

@imp no because Eubank is better than him

@imp no because Eubank is better than him

Groves has a better CV.

Groves is the world champion.

I like both fighters but if Groves sticks to boxing it could be decision win for the champion.

Can Eubank jr handle a decent bodyshot?

His body is always in perfect condition.

I like Groves and was happy for him when he won the world title...I just feel as though he won't get any better but Jr is on the rise in prime.

Groves is the better boxer and surely has the power...Jr has the combinations and seems to have a better engine.

I will happily pay for this one and both fighters deserve it.

I'll pay for this one as well, I'm just hoping that they keep it at £10 but you know they will up it to £20

What difference does a bill-and-ben make to whether or not you buy PPV?

And can you stop ruining Master's life by spending your own money on what you want?

It won't make a difference, I said that I'll be paying for this one.

The first two ITV PPV fights of this competition were for £10 i was just saying I hope they stick to that price although it's doubtful.

p.s.

well in answer to that question I get paid on Wednesday, I currently have £16 in the bank, so yeah sometimes it can make a pretty big difference

Oh and I enjoy ruining Masters life

George Groves to fight Chris Eubank Jr in Super Series in Manchester



George Groves' WBA super-middleweight title defence against Chris Eubank Jr will take place at the Manchester Arena on 17 February.

The champion had wanted their World Boxing Super Series semi-final bout to take place in his native London, at a football stadium.

It will be the first time Groves has boxed at the Manchester Arena since his controversial 2013 loss to Carl Froch.

And it will be the first meeting between Groves and Brighton's Eubank.

Groves beat Jamie Cox in his first title defence, in the Super Series quarter-final at Wembley Arena last month, with Eubank beating Turkey's Avni Yildirim in Germany.

A third Briton, Callum Smith, fights Germany's Jurgen Brahmer in the other semi-final, with a date and location yet to be decided.

The World Boxing Super Series has been hailed as the "Champions League of boxing".

The new event offers a $50m prize fund and a trophy named after Muhammad Ali - and its tournament format aims to deliver a flow of easy-to-follow storylines for fans.

Comosa AG - the company which owns the event - is an amalgamation of firms, with former Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and European based Sauerland Promotions heavily involved.

It runs two tournaments, one for cruiserweights and one for super-middleweights. Within each, eight men will compete from a quarter-final stage through to an eventual winner being crowned in each weight category.

Along the way, if a fighter meets an opponent who is currently a world champion, that belt will be on the line.

This is the one I'm waiting for..roll on February...both exciting fighters.

[Primo Carnera]

Hopefully Groves will knock the useless cunt out.

[Master]

Hopefully Groves will knock the useless cunt out.

If Eubank Jnr wins, you have to give him the credit he deserves.

Big IF!

This fight came to me in a dream. Groves was throwing with mean intentions but couldn't dent Eubank. Eubank just wouldn't go anywhere and Groves wilted. I hope that doesn't happen, but it came to me in a dream.

I can't believe bookies odds are in favour of Eubank.

Degale was meant to wipe the floor with Groves - didn't
Froch was meant to take him out in 5 or 6 - that went to the wire (2nd fight admittedly beaten comprehensively)

Groves is a lot better than most people think, faster and has power - Him, Jack & Degale are probably a class above anyone else right now at 168 - jack's obvs fucked off now to 175.

That being said... people do worry about Groves engine (although fight vs Jack it was pretty damm decent) - but I don't think Eubank has the power to put him away if he does catch him clean a few times later on.
