Groves vs Eubank Jr

[Gandalf]

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.

Groves is world champion.

I would have liked to have seen him enjoy the title for awhile longer but Groves is always in for tough fights and doesn't seem to duck anyone.

What a fight this will be!!!

It is a good fight and I would like Groves to win but think Eubank Jnr will win with a late stoppage. Hope I am wrong but fear for George.

100% agree with all of that , and what I would say is while he was comprehensively KO'd in Froch 2, Before the KO I thought he was just starting to get on top and heading towards a win.
Eubank couldn't cope with the most skillful fighter he's faced, and I believe Groves is technically better than BJS and has way more power.
People will say Eubank has improved, and in the last fight, admittedly he looked better.
But he's never gonna cope with Skill and find answers or counter act them because he doesn't really have a trainer . Ronnie Davies isn't allowed to talk, His Dad is many things, but he's not a trainer .
So While Jr. is fantastically conditioned , even the best Boxers need somebody to formulate a gameplan and study opponents.
All Jr has is an ex champ telling him to throw a 60 punch combo "just for the funk of it!"

King George is wonderfully underrated, if the bookies don't agree because of media hype, have it off!

This is a good fight I fancy Jr to win Groves I think has been in to many hard punishing fights and he does seem to gas abit after 8 or so rounds,! I like both fighters should be a cracker I hope.

Jr has improved immensely. Groves fights anyone and has always been competitive. I keep switch back and forth between the 2. 50/50 really. Either guy at their best could beat the other. Slightly side with Groves if pushed for a pick.

The fact that it is a "pick em" for a work class fight makes this fight highly exciting and anticipating. Love it!
