Groves vs Eubank Jr

[Primo Carnera]

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.

Picking groves by UD

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!

Groves does seem to rely on his trainer and should start taking credit in himself..he done a fantastic job winning that world title

[Master]

I think Groves looked and sounded nervous.

When Groves talked about his relationship about his dad that is when Junior got upset. Groves should do that more.

Just watched that. That was fun. He's not relying on his trainer. He was banging on about that to highlight to his opponent the importance of a proper training team. Don't be mistaken into thinking Groves doesn't have self belief. trust me, he KNOWS he's got too much for Jr.
As for being nervous as Master said, nah, I don't think so, I think he loved it.
Jr. - "When the going gets tough......"
Groves - "what, you gonna start singing now?" Fuckin priceless!
And when Sr. starts talking, Groves says "I thought you weren't gonna say anything!!" And then pisses himself.
Groves was having a blast in there, and all Jr. could come back with are the same old sound bites , yawn,yawn, yawn.
Then you have Sr. talking about Jr's "Internal navigation system." Another one for the meaningless dictionary.
Groves is gonna win this, 100%
